CCAB, Sunday, Feburary 1, 2009 – The Old Raffles Association (ORA) beat Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) 3-0 to claim third place in the boys’ U-21 Hockey Championship.

Although SCC had better possession and chances at penalty corners, they were unable to convert their dominance into goals.

In the 70th minute, an ORA player took an ambitious reverse hit which flew past three SCC defenders into the far top left corner for a 2-0 lead.

A mistake by an SCC defender gave away a penalty corner from which an ORA forward scored with a shot into the far left bottom corner to seal the game.
