CCAB, Thursday, April 2, 2009 – In the end, the gulf between the two team simply was too wide. Raffles Girls’ School, a traditional basketball powerhouse, ripped past a fledgling Bukit Merah Secondary School 79-11.

RGS led all the way, slowly widening the lead quarter by quarter. With such a wide margin, RGS could afford to make frequent substitutions, giving their younger players more exposure. In the end it was a comfortable win for RGS who will meet CHIJ in their next game.
