Toa Payoh Sports Hall, Thursday, May 15, 2008 – Nanyang Junior College successfully defended their title by winning the A Division Boys Volleyball Championship again. They defeated Temasek JC 3-0 in what seemed to be a relatively easy game. Having thrashed Temasek JC in the quarter-finals, NYJC was seen as the hot favourite to retain the trophy. TJC put up a commendable fight. However, it was just not enough to stop NYJC from taking the crown again.
