Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Monday, March 17, 2008 – Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) beat Raffles Institution 8-4 in an eagerly anticipated B Division water polo match.

As the Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Raffles Institution Water Polo teams entered the pool, much was at stake. Whichever team lost would almost definitely miss the chance to get into the final.

The game started with much spice, with Raffles taking control of the game. After some fantastic play, the score was 2-1 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, things looked dire for ACS (I), as their star player and captain, Chiam Kun Yang, was sent off from the match.

But eventually, the team picked itself up. With the help of centerman Andie Hartanto and goalkeeper Teo Wei Yang, they put themselves back on the board, and finally emerged victorious with an 8-4 win over Raffles. Andie scored 4 of the team's 8 goals and Wei Yang made tremendous saves despite the higher shot count from RI.

Said Andie, whose 3 of 4 goals were backshots, "We've never won against Raffles before, so this is indeed a great experience."
