In the thrilling encounter during the Cross-Straits Tournament, which started yesterday, our teams, TK SWIFTS and TK THUNDERBIRDS made it into the Cup Finals(The top-tier) but lost to SENIOR ST. MARGARET’S A and SK ALAM MEGAH respectively. TK SWIFTS had a close fight with SENIOR ST. MARGARETS, and in the end, the score was 12-13.

It is not the first time TK THUNDERBIRDS are playing with SK ALAM MEGAH. The first time they played each other, the score was 8-6 in favour of us. The reason they lost in the final might have been because they were complacent after beating JUNIOR ST. MARGARET’S A, their biggest rival and underestimating the strengths of SK ALAM MEGAH. The final was a frustrating match to watch as we could see most of the junior netballers giving an under-par performance as well as some bad calls from the umpire further affected their concentration in the game. After four quarters, the score was 5-10. It was an UPSET!

TK RAVENS won their match against SK BUKIT KAPAR, with a score of 5-1, and they came in third place for the Bowl. They were so overjoyed with their achievement that they went around hugging people after the match.

TK PHOENIX met the same team, SMK SRI KL, in the Plate Finals(2nd tier), and lost 9-14, an exciting but tough match. SMK SRI KL had also beaten TK PHOENIX on the first day of the tournament (24th May 2008) with the score of 10-5.

Five valuable players from each team (including the Media Crew) was awarded with a small bag during the debriefing at night. They are: Chalisa (TK RAVENS), Jamie(TK THUNDERBIRDS), Lee Yi Ying(TK PHOENIX), Olivia(TK SWIFTS) and Devid(Media Crew).

Looking at the bright side, the high point of this trip was to see the juniors defeating St Margaret’s juniors and the seniors giving St Margaret’s seniors a tough fight. I am sure our netballers will work even harder and strive to win the Nationals next term.
