HandBall Females

The ladies had the honour of getting the ball rolling for the first leg of the handball IBG 0910 competition with the guys playing only on Sunday. To those who weren’t around today, it is such a pity as the girls put up a great show of talent and brilliance. To many of those who have never experience playing handball or much less heard of the sport, it was indeed an eye-opener to see the girls playing with smooth rhythm and cohesive teamwork. The female eekers however prove unstoppable once again today, continuing their hot streak of wins.

HT: 1 – 4
FT: 2 – 4

With the C-Towners overcoming the Deeblockers in the preliminaries, and the eekers and their heartbreaking defeat of the beekers, they faced up once again in the finals of the female handball competition, a repeat of the basketball finals. Lead by their respective alumni YiYing and YingShi, both teams ooze experience and exuberance from the freshies involved. Both side started slowly as pot shots was taken but not much danger threatened the respective goalies. However it was the eekers first off the blocks and racing to 3 – 0 lead in a flash with Amelia and YingShi quickly scoring goals leaving the C-Towners in their trails. However YiYing showed amazing footwork and shotpower after going pass the whole eekers’ defence, blazing a shot into the bottom right corner of the keeper NingXi leaving her no chance at all. The closing seconds however allowed Amelia to run the full length of the court with much opposition and scoring pass the C-Towners’ goalie. With the teams going into halftime, pep talks were heard at the sidelines, with both teams still within a shout of the championship.The second half was a tighter affair with the goalies proving their individual worth to the team, as both the eekers’ keeper and C-Towners’ keepers proving hard to beat on several occasions. But the C-Towners got the last goal of the game in the closing moments, yet it was a little too late, but full marks for their fighting spirit to chase the game back. The female eekers RED hot streak continues, whether it will end, till tomorrow we will know.
