Republic Polytechnic, Monday, February 9, 2009 - CHIJ St Nicholas’ Girls’ (St Nicks) beat Canberra Secondary 22-12 in the final match of Round One of the B Division North Zone Championship.

St Nicks played a very swift and aggressive game and for the first 10 minutes of the game, it looked like it was going to be an easy win for St Nicks. By the end of the first quarter, St Nicks were leading 7-1.

But Canberra fought back to let St Nicks know that they were no easy pushovers. However, St Nicks were able to maintain their lead at the end of every quarter.

Canberra had a slight disadvantaged with their slightly shorter players but they still managed to put up a good defensive game. The game became quite aggressive at times, with the umpires often calling fouls for obstruction and body contact.

In the final quarter, Canberra matched the two goals scored by St Nicks but it was not enough to steal the game away from St Nicks who deserved the win with their better teamwork.

Despite this loss, Canberra still advance to the next round along with St Nicks.

St Nicks will be grouped with Yio Chu Kang Secondary, North Vista Secondary, Woodgrove Secondary, Northland Secondary and Evergreen Secondary.

Canberra Secondary will face Riverside Secondary, Seng Kang Secondary, the Singapore Sports School, Marsiling Secondary nnd CHIJ St Joseph’s Convent in the other group.

Good Luck to all!
