National Inter-Primary Netball Tournament 2009
Round 1 (match 3)
Seniors
TKP Seniors vs Greenridge Pri 38-8
The seniors started off sluggishly probably feeling complacent after a resounding victory in the previous match. They were soon brought down to Earth by a whole series of mistakes and inaccuracy in their shooting. Coupled with the ferocious Mr Njoo scolding at the sideline, they were even more tentative and could not get into the game.
The front 4 players - Seak Im, Corrine, Xing Hui and Rukmini were the guilty ones, displaying one of the worst performance I have seen so far this year. Mr Njoo sticked to his words and put in all the reserves in the 3rd quarter in a bid to 'wake' the more illustrous key players from their slumber. It worked!
In the 4th quarter, the key players came to life and put in shots after shots, just like snipers shooting bullets into the enemy's targets. Point after point after point, they rained torrents of shots into the net. By the time , the 4th quarter end, they have rained 15 points to add to the final score. Mr Njoo was most displeased by their lacklustre warm-ups. He cited that the players were not focussed in the warm-ups which led to their poor start. I sincerely hoped that the seniors will now know the importance of putting everything in the warm-ups so as to start well in the game. With the quarter-finals coming up, I could only hoped they have learnt their lesson!
