The basketball junior girls won the match again Gan Eng Seng Primary yesterday.
Gan Eng Seng Primary girls team arrived late. At first we thought it was their fault and there should be a walk over according to the rules. However, it seemed that the fault doesn't lie with the school but the organisers. The organisers failed to inform them about the change in fixtures and they did not receive the updated version. Hence they were late.
In the end we played the game about 45 minutes later than the time stated in the fixtures. We were blessed with a 66 - 9 win.
Unfortunately, Madeline twisted her ankle. Now I'm left with Shanthinee and Crystal as centre. Shanthinee played well yesterday but she cannot play in 2nd quarter due to a subsitution rule. So, I fielded Crystal as centre... I was worried she might not be competition ready. However, she did her best and proved to be helpful to the team.
Cassandra was in a bad mood as she felt that the referee had done injustice done to her as she was not guilty of the fouls. In my opinion, the referee was fair. She did foul but unknowingly. However, I'm pleased that she controlled herself and didn't throw her temper at the referee. She is also the top scorer for that game. Way to go girl!
Another person who didn't have as good a game was Pin Xiu. She missed so many underbasket shots. I really wonder what is wrong with her yesterday. Blessedly, her defence was still as good and towards the 3rd half, she managed to get a hang of the shooting. It was then she played so well I was impressed. However, she was also in foul trouble like Cassandra. I would worry if both my captain and vice captain foul out.
I'm most pleased with Jiaying's and Shangmei's performance yesterday. They defended well and attacked well.
Overall. I'm pleased. They are a team to be proud of!
