Amendment to Touch Rugby Finals Match Report
May 4th, 2010 by CCA PROHello!
We refer to the Touch Rugby Girls Finals Match Report:
“However, due to over-exertion during the game, Joleen collapsed and was carried off with the help of the team’s coach. Without Joleen in the match, the rest of the team fought hard and stove off various JJ attacks and also mounted attacks of their own on their opponents.”
We apologize for the mistake made in the report, as Joleen did not collapse due to “over-exertion” ..
After clarifying with Joleen, this should be the correct statement made!
“However, during the match near our tryline, a very hard touch was being made on Joleen at her ribs, causing her to collapse as she could not breathe properly.”
Hope this is much clearer!
Once again we would like to applaud the Touch Rugby Girls’ Team for their wonderful effort put in throughout this whole season, and we’re really proud of their achievements. (: HCunite!

Match Report: Touch Rugby Girls Finals
May 2nd, 2010 by CCA PROOn the 30th of April, Hwa Chong’s Touch Rug Girls visited the homeground of their opponents Jurong Junior College to battle in the finals of this years’ championship. Despite their resilient efforts and skills, our girls still fell short to their speedy opponents.
Our girls started the game by winning the coin toss (a rare occurrence!), but was unable to prevent their fast opponents JJ to break the deadlock first.
In response to the quick start by their opponents, our girls fought back with Joleen making a dashing run across ¾ of the field and coming close to scoring. Claudia though on the other hand made an impressive diving try to level the score on the field at 1-1.
This sparked a string of attack coming from JJ who came close to scoring twice by making impressive runs down the flanks but they were denied both times by Bee Hiang who crossed over brilliantly to stop her opponent in the tracks.
Though HC’s defence was tight, JJ managed to breach it with an incisive dive through the middle to score another try making the score 2-1 on aggregate before the half time siren.
After play resumed, JJ came closed to scoring but dropped the ball by the try-line. However, this was unable to deny them from scoring their third try moments later to make the score 3-1 in our opponents favour.
The try was followed by a furious of exchange of possessions with both sides fighting hard and battling for possession of the ball. After a few intense minutes, Joleen once again made an inspiring run to score HCs second try, closing the gap to 2-3.
However, due to over-exertion during the game, Joleen collapsed and was carried off with the help of the team’s coach. Without Joleen in the match, the rest of the team fought hard and stove off various JJ attacks and also mounted attacks of their own on their opponents.
Despite their best efforts, our girls were unable to block out the speedy JJ girls as they manage to score another try, making the final scoreline 4-2 to Jurong JC.
Although Jurong JC won the championship, our girls still put up a good fight and made the finals an intense and fiery battle! With a string of comprehensive victories on their way to the finals, we respect you girls for all the effort you guys put in!

Bryan Seow, Jason Ho, Alex Lim, Ryn Wu and Darren Toh who represented our school today in the finals, lost to RIJC 1-4, in an encounter that displayed nothing short of the team’s true fighting spirit and resolve. It’s ok, boys, HC is proud of you coming thus far and for all your valiance. Let’s get them next year!

All who were there saw how you girls battled it out to the end; we’ll get that title next year!

Basketball Girls
The girls’ basketball team continued their romp at the Singapore Basketball Centre with their victory over Jurong Junior College today. 68-17. Well done, girls!
Tennis
Both girls’ and boys’ teams have advanced to the quarter-finals. The boys’ team defeated SRJC 5-0 and PJC 4-1 on the 30th and 29th of April respectively. However, each team still has one crucial group stage fixture to play, which can contribute greatly to their form and momentum for the rest of the season.

April 28th, 2010 by CCA PROSquash Girls
Our girls’ squash team have clinched the National 3rd placing after beating ACSI 5-0 in the 3rd/4th placing match.
Playing the last match of their season and giving this finale a superb touch by achieving a fantastic winning score of 3-0 each, the female players for today are:
Gladys Kee
Alicia Tee
Hannah Lee
Mao Shihui
as well as Chua Hui Ying
Well done, girls! For next year, we’ll get that title!
Netball
The netball team staged another tremendous win at Republic Polytechnic, this time over CJC, with a scoreline of 93-17! Great job, and continue with the streak, Netball!
Tennis Boys
The match away at SRJC was in Hc’s favour as we were 2-0 up in the team score before it was stopped and postponed to Thursday morning, 29th April, when it will resume and hopefully conclude on the same day. Bag another win for HC, tennis boys! All the way!
Softball Girls
The heavy rain has caused the softball match versus Victoria Junior College to be postponed to tomorrow, 3.00pm, and will be held in Hwa Chong’s home ground. Do lend the girls your support and give your voice boxes a little exercise by cheering them on after lessons tomorrow!
Touch Rugby Girls
The girls’ finals against Jurong Junior College has also been postponed due to bad weather, and will be held tentatively on Friday. Do keep your ears and eyes peeled for more confirmation of match details!
Badminton Boys
After experiencing the tragedy of losing to ACJC in their first match, the shuttlers have rebounded and came back even stronger, and now relish in their 4-1 triumph over Millenia Institute.
1st Singles: Lim Jie Rong
Despite nursing numerous leg injuries, Jie Rong managed to overcome his pain and took the match 2-0 in a very hard-fought match against MI’s best singles player. He definitely demonstrated his ability to turn the tables around by overcoming a 4-point deficit at 12-16 in the second set, unelashing a streak of 9 straight points which allowed him to clinch victory and earn the valuable first point for the team.
1st Doubles: Lee Keng Boon and Ray Tan
The doubles pair made short work of their opponent and displayed their dominance on the court by sweeping the match 2-0. With their win, Hwa Chong was 2-0 ahead of their opponents!
2nd Singles: Chong Kai Ren
Kai Ren played relatively well in his first match of the tournament and triumphed 2-0, giving the team’s valuable third point and hence the affirmation of the win over MI
2nd Doubles: Lucas Lim and Nigel Ang
Rare cases of mistakes and merves meant that the pair dropped the first set narrowly. They came back strongly in the second set, however, and brought the game to a decider match in the third set. However, the nervous factor crept in again and they lost the last set by a narrow margin too. Wonderful effort nonetheless by the J1 pair.
3rd Singles: Lim Rui Jin
Playing one of his best games yet, Rui Jin defeated MI’s second singles player 2-1. Even though he lost the first set, he came back motivated and stronger, taking home the next two sets, with a narrow score of 21-19 in the final set. Despite being down 17-19, Rui Jin mustered his strength and gave it his all, managing to clinch the next 4 points and score a valuable victory over his friend from MI.
The shuttlers will be playing their crucial match against SAJC on Friday, who managed to defeat MI 4-1 too. The odds are on Hwa Chong to win, but support is still much needed for the guys to triumph in this must-win match. So Hwa Chong peeps, do keep the guys motivated by giving them your utmost support!
Basketball Girls
Playing against the school with much similarities in our uniform look, Nanyang Junior College, our basketballers showed who was superior by dominating the court and bringing a huge 50-point difference of 62-12 in today’s match. Well done girls!
Bowling
In the Guys’ Team Doubles Event today, special mention goes to Magnus Lim of 10S75 reached the upper band rankings with an overall average of 201. The school team is still in good contention for the 3rd/4th seeded placing which will depend on the Quadruples next Wednesday and Thursday. The bowling guys’ squad will be looking to break out of the underdog status and strive for the seeded status. All the best for HCBowl’s upcoming fixtures!
Floorball
It was just not HC’s day for the floorball teams as the girls lost 1-3 to MI, while the guys held a commanding 3-0 lead in the first period, but suffered a late comeback by RVHS, losing the match 3-4. We’re halfway through the 1st round, and we wish the floorball teams all the best and all the luck they need! Cheer up, these few matches are for us to prove ourselves. Go Floorball!
