1st quarter begins
it is easy to know why khanliang didnt score any points,i guess he just wants to help his team to win but not getting the glory or anything,he is a pg not a scorer,thats explains to AH NEH’s question.he is a captain that leads his team well.without him fighting against jruong,ahs is out because of sherwin and jun wei foul trouble.he had to play even he had two ankles down.i admired what he have done throughout the whole season.he just choose not to score that day.he just wanted a better person to score.he does all the dirty job.so lets give him some support.jun wei and sherwin did play well too.
Gd job unity well done… althought u all have lost but You all are the champions in many ppl heart..
woots ahs win yea
UNITY JY! YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!
ever since unity foul out 2 players in 3rd quater,all the remaining players lost all their confidence in playing and they start to play badly giving their chances all to the opponent to get points.What a great waste to them.But I heard that due to the 3 main players to fight all the way and 2 others bench players to help(cannot do anything)thats why they lost.AFTERALL to me UNITY players are the actual CHAMPION as they really fight to the END especially the 3 main.UNITY!!! WE ARE PROUD OF U.
Applause for Unity. Great game.
sherwin got MVP ?
that chee khan liang ? what no. is he ah ?
Hello Jan, thanks 🙂
Welcome home from Beijing!
i felt that both teams played well. i would like to congratulate anglican high basketball team for clinching the championship, and also, unity secondary deserves a praise or two too!!! keep it up both teams! it was an awesome match! SPECTACULAR!!!
unity is good too.well done both teams 😀
I never expected that AHS would pip unity to the c div title , unity was whacking everyone upside down on-route to the C div final and no one would have expected them to fall at the final hurdle. A loss of 20 points was totally unexpected of , good job AHS . Shows again that the form books don’t matter at all because the ball is round.
sherwin got 29points in 3 quarter only O_O
omg . splendid 3rd quarter for AHS!. 31-8 run
This game was an unexpected win! Everyone expected Unity to win and make it double champs like T-net. But I was really surprised by the fightback from Anglican High especially in the 3rd quarter! ; breaking Unity’s morale! Good job!
Wow what a comeback by AHS! Les, I really enjoyed this ‘live’ scoring update! I kept refreshing! I was rooting for Unity though, because my mum’s staff’s boyfriend’s little brother (ha ha!) was leading the attack for Unity!
Sherwin for MVP!
