Quick Bites: Tennis Girls, Taekwondo
May 22nd, 2010 by CCA PROTennis Girls
The tennis girls played Saint Andrew’s Junior College on Thursday, and in what was an extremely close fight, HC unfortunately was unable to outplay SAJC, eventually being defeated by a tight score of 2-3. The tennis season has finally come to an end, and the team would like to thank their teachers-in-charge Ms Lum and Mr Lo for being present at all the matches to support them and encourage them. Most importantly, their Coach Sharin, who has put in much effort into training the team, encouraging them, and ultimately putting good faith in them. The tennis girls would also like thank the guys team, the councillors, and all Hwachongians who have taken the effort to cheer them on during their matches, as well as in spirit.
Although the team did not attain the top 3 positions, what’s important is that they have put in their best effort, and regardless of the results, will continue to train hard and strive for greater heights in next year’s season! Kudos to the tennis girls. We are all proud of you 
Jiayou!
Taekwondo

May 19th, 2010 by CCA PRO19th May, 2010. This day will go down in history as our sportsmen took Hwachong to new heights. Be it at Yishun Sports Stadium, the Ayer-Rajah field, or at ACS International, our hearts beat as one to leave a legacy. This is the power of unity, where physical distance has no bearing on the power of the Hwachong spirit. Let us take a look at the matches that left us with jaw-dropping moments:
Basketball Girls
Our basketballers did us proud. Those present at the match witnessed how we were tied with Raffles Institution at 53-53 at the end of the fourth quarter, leaving us with quickened breaths and worries of disappointment. Those worries were unfounded, as HC fought back with much tenacity during overtime. Eventually, our thirst for the championship proved more wanting. When the final whistle blew, the scoreboard read 65-60. ‘Nuff said. We were the champions.
Basketball Guys
Following the exuberance from the girls’ match, our guys did not fail to match up. They exhibited much power in their finishes, stamping out any doubt of the world-class standard of HC Basketball. Anderson Junior College was eventually defeated by a score of 72-46. Spectators had a feast watching the strong performance of the team, and could only wow at the beauty of their play. Congrats to both the guys and girls team! Double champions, anybody?
Softball Guys
We walked onto the field with the mindset of winners, and left the field, as winners. The rain might have fallen, but never did it hint of dampening our spirits. At 12-0, the match was stopped until the skies let up. The softballers then continued to enthrall us spectators with their fantastic play, eventually giving a mightily convincing 14-2 win over Anglo-Chinese School Independent. Congratulations to the softball guys, national champions! We are proud of you:D
Tchoukball
In our first ever tchoukball tournament, this newly-formed CCA, not even a year old, did the school proud, coming in 5th. This maiden effort is extremely commendable, showing us the potential and passion that you guys have in this sport. We are so proud of you guys!! Continue striving to achieve greater heights in the years to come, and don’t ever give up. We are always behind you:D Jiayou HC Tchoukball!

Down at Farrer Park this afternoon, the tennis girls gave their all in thee semi-finals. Unfortunately, that was still not enough for them to move on to the finals, finally losing 0-5 to Victoria Junior College. They might not have won the game according to the scoreboard, but in our hearts, they’re all winners for putting up their best fight. Do continue supporting them in their final match of the season on Wednesday for the 3rd/4th play-offs! Jiayou:D
Softball Girls
The softballers walked onto the field today knowing that this was the last chance they had this season to make their mark and let everyone feel the prowess of HC Softball. And boy did they succeed. Today’s play-offs against National Junior College for the 3rd/4th position saw HC demolish NJC with a score of 15-3, and left spectators without a doubt that we were indeed a powerful team.
The softballers would like to thank their coach and his wife for all that they’ve done for the team, be it through physical or emotional support season. The team would also like to think Miss Teo for her undying support and care for them. Finally to their male counterparts, jiayou for their game on Wednesday! With that the softbal girls season has come to a close, leaving us with many fond memories of 2010 HC Softball. HC Unite!

May 14th, 2010 by CCA PRO6 matches, 4 venues, 4 different sports; one thing in common: the fresh blood stains of all Hwa Chong’s opponents. In this jam-packed day filled with a handful of competitions to watch, our players have done us and Hwa Chong proud by winning all their matches. What more is there to say? Without further ado, the results are:
Volleyball Girls and Guys
It was an exciting match at the ‘A’ girls volleyball finals at the Woodlands Indoor Stadium today with Hwa Chong facing off against our traditional rivals ACJC. Despite trailing 2-1 after the 3rd game, our volleyball girls team showed their resilience and rallied around to break even to 2-2 and finally emerged as champions by winning the last set(3-2).
Fast forward an hour and a half and we have been crowned double champions! The volleyball guys won in 3 straight sets(28-26,27-25,25-20). The scores alone show how tight the match was. But every single time the pressure went up a notch, our players always ended up on top of their opponents. Congratulations Volleyball!!! Your regular training till 8-9 pm at the hall truly paid off. We are sure you will continue to make Hwa Chong proud with your hardwork and spirit. You all are part of the HC Volleyball legacy!
Basketball Girls and Guys
Emperors and empresses. Total domination/obliteration/pulverisation/(any other synonym of pwning). These are the things which ran through the minds of all the supporters who came down to cheer for our basketball girls and guys; and rightfully so. In the semi-finals of the A division, our basketballers have shown us why they are the undisputed champions year in year out. The guys started the demolition work first, winning against Victoria Junior College by 31 points. The girls ended it by winning 73-18 against Saint Andrew’s Junior College, a whopping 55 point gap! The two wins mean that both the guys and girls team are in the finals, which will be held on the 19th of May, Wednesday. If you wish to see our national champions show once again why they deserve the title, come on down and support them!
Netball
While the volleyball guys and girls were earning their points at Woodlands Statium, less than five minutes away at Republic Polytechnic, so were the netballers. The semi-finals against Raffles Institution left everyone breathless as we tried to keep up with the game, in which HC Netball eventually won 40-29, putting us through to the finals. The girls played an extremely great game today, all at their optimum level in this highly crucial match. Next Friday is the finals against ACJC. Jiayou netballers and give it your all!
Tennis Guys
The boys ended off their season on a high note with a resounding 4-1 win against VJC. You may not have won a trophy this year boys, but you definitely showed them the true hwachongian spirit! Keep it up and aim even higher next year!

In a tough battle on the tennis courts today against Raffles Institution, our tennis girls team gave their all. However, they eventually lost 5-0, but not without a fight, and definitely not without putting their heart and soul into the game. Nonetheless, our HC Tennis team is through to the semi-finals! Do continue supporting the team! HC Tennis: We are all behind you:)

In their second match of the quarter finals, our badminton guys have done us proud by bouncing back from a defeat to win resoundingly with an overall team score of 4-1 against Catholic JC. With a win and a loss under their belt, our boys need our fullest support to win the deciding match and go through to the semi finals.
However, the girls team lost 2-3 to Temasek Junior College in what was an extremely tight match. By no means did our girls lose so easily, forcing two of the games into the rubber set. Unfortunately, this match marks the end of the girls’ challenge for the coveted trophy. The girls team would like to take this opportunity to convey their sincerest gratitude to their coach, Mr Yeo, their teachers-in-charge, Mrs Ong and Mrs Sim and all the people who have supported them throughout the whole competition. Keep up the amazing work girls! You’ve made history this year by getting into the quarter finals. All eyes will be on you to bring the trophy to where it should be next year

Volleyball Girls and Guys
Both our guys and girls have reached the finals!!
With a 3-0(25-22, 25-9, 25-18) win over Temasek JC, the volleyball guys have made it to the finals yet again. They will be looking to retain their title this Friday against Nanyang JC at the Woodlands Sports Hall.
The volleyball girls brushed aside semifinalists Anderson JC with a comfortable score of 3-1(25-20,25-21,18-25,25-22).The third set saw AJC trying to mount a comeback, but the girls kept their cool to prevail 25-22 in the last set. Good job girls! Just one more hurdle and the trophy is yours!! The girls will be playing against ACJC at the Woodlands Sports Hall.
Tennis Girls and Guys
The tennis girls picked up where they left yesterday and won against Anderson JC with a score of 5-0. This win booked them a place in the semi-finals, which will be held on the 17th of May. The finals will be held on the 20th of May. There is no need to know when the 3rd/4th placing occurs, because our girls won’t be a part of that match. Their matches tomorrow and next Monday will determine who they will play against in the semi-finals.
The tennis boys fought their hearts out, put in all their energy in every single shot and ran for every single ball, but lost 0-5 at the hands of ACJC. This loss means that they are out of the quarter finals. Keep your heads up boys, because we all know you put in 110% to prepare for this match! All those who wish to see a literal manifestation of sweating blood are encouraged to watch their last match this Friday against Victoria JC.
Softball Girls

The Anglo-Chinese School Independent guys proved themselves as strong opponents, and our badminton guys lost 0-5. However, they never once gave up and kept on fighting regardless of the strong competition. The girls team played Victoria Junior College today, and was unfortunately unable to overcome the strong challenge posed by the VJ team. Despite a loss of 1-4, the camaraderie of the team was still evident, showing the true spirit of HC Badminton and their camaraderie. Special mention goes to Minhui for playing one of her best matches in the entire tournament (:

Good job, and jiayou for your respective matches on Friday!
Tennis Guys
The continuation of the tennis match today saw the guys fight hard, but finally succumbing to strong competition from Anglo-Chinese School Independent, with an eventual score of 1-4. Those who witnessed the match will agree that our guys fought their hardest. Good job, guys! (: We’re proud of you.
