Republic Polytechnic, Wednesday, February 3, 2016 – Yio Chu Kang Secondary (YCK) triumphed 26-21 over Woodlands Ring Secondary (WRS) in the North Zone B Division Netball Championship, clinching their first win out of three games so far.

This is the first loss for Woodlands Ring after an opening game win against Riverside Secondary.

A close first quarter saw Yio Chu Kang lead by a mere one goal (5-4) at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Yio Chu Kang attacked more and Woodlands Ring did not manage to intercept Yio Chu Kang’s passes or stop their scoring. The second quarter proved crucial as Yio Chu Kang outscored Woodlands Ring 8-3 to take a 13-7 half time lead.

In the third quarter, Woodlands Ring modified their strategy with Sherrifah (WRS GA) shooting more so to make up for the strong marking of Jia Yi (WRS GS). This was a success as most of Sherrifah’s shots went in, and Woodlands Ring outscored Yio Chu Kang 7-5 in the third quarter to trail by four (14-18) heading into the final quarter.

However, Yio Chu Kang held Woodlands Ring off, outscoring them 8-7 in the fourth quarter to wrap up a five-point (26-21) win.

Yio Chu Kang captain, Angelin Sng (C), said, “Today, our defender played well. This is the same for my teammates, who played well and played together as a team.’
