Dr Fatimah Under-16 Tournament 2007 (Boys and Girls)

Preview by Ian Chew. Fixture update by Sir Mitch.

A total of 16 boys' and 8 girls’ teams qualified for the next round of the 2007 Dr Fatimah Cup. Among the favourites for the boys' competition are the familiar schools of Catholic High, Unity Secondary and Anglican High.

However, Seng Kang Secondary have emerged from the qualifying rounds as a serious contender for the title with an unbeaten record after four matches. The team, boasting a tall average starting height, also did it with style, beating their opponents by an average of 52 points per match.

Another intriguing match-up is the girls' quarter final between traditional powerhouses Raffles Girls’ School and Nanyang Girls’ High School. The Nanyang team had preserved an unbeaten record in qualifying while the Raffles lost to Singapore Chinese Girls School in the run up to the quarter-finals.

Earlier in the year, Raffles managed to beat Nanyang 66-57 in the C Division National Championship semi-final en route to clinching the title. Will Nanyang turn the tables this time round?

What makes the matches more exciting this time round is the knock-out nature of the competition. Teams know that they need to win in order to qualify for the next round.

So catch the upcoming matches to find out the results.
