Choa Chu Kang Sports Hall, Monday, January 21, 2008 – Clementi Town Secondary beat opponents Yuhua Secondary 2-0 in a ‘B’ Division Girls West Zone Volleyball match.

An unfortunate incident during warm up saw the Yuhua #4 injure herself. With one girl down, Yuhua fielded their remaining players while the injured #4 had to sit on the bench with her ankle all wrapped up.

Clementi Town gained an early advantage with their consistent attacks and good serves also earned them several points. Yuhua, on the other hand, put up a tremendously good fight as their players went all out to retrieve the shots. Yuhua’s setter, Brenda, was also seen running all over the place trying to get the second hit. Several times she managed to bump the ball upwards which was promptly sent over by her teammate. The Yuhua players kept their spirits up despite trailing Clementi Town who eventually took the first set 25-11.

The second set was a tighter affair with Yuhua at times narrowing the lead. However, Clementi Town had enough quality to always stay in front and finished off the second set 25-20.
