National Quarter Final (Seniors) Game 3

National Quarter-Final (Seniors) Game 3

TKP vs Yumin Pri

39-20

Dayanara played one her best matches...%shot accuracy very high

The magnificent seniors had to accomplish their one final task - defeat Yumin to top their group and hopefully avoid the tougher team in the semi-finals. With two energy-sapping matches last week, Mr Njoo was not sure the girls had it in them to carve out another vctory. The last time we played Yumin was in the east zone semi-finals and the seniors only managed to win by two points...SCARY!

That's her again

The match though was not as exciting as the previous two encounters. Yumin had nothing to play for after losing their last two matches. TKP seniors started well and soon they were able to lead in all the quarters resulting in a 39-20 total score. Most notable player was Dayanara, who had a blistering game with her high percentage shooting accuracy...and mind you...many of ther shots were from quite a distance away.

We had to wear red bibs...all thanks to Olivia who forgot to bring...Grrrr

With that, the seniors waited intently for the results of the other group top of the table clash. Their opponents could either be CHIJ OLN or CHIJ Kellock. The match there was indeed a see-saw battle with both teams boasting very tall players. In the end, OLN won by a point condemning Kellock to a runner-up position...Shock! The TKP seniors will now have to play CHIJ KEllock, last year's National Champs while St Margs will play OLN. Even though TKP Seniors have topped the group, their semi-final opponents looked pretty difficult...I hoped the TKP Seniors will use their fighting spirit that they used against St Margs for this epic semi-final this Friday! I will be waiting with bated breath until Friday comes around...Till then, I will be having restless nights!
