Babe Zaharias, a women’s golfer once said, “Winning has always meant much to me, but winning friends has meant the most.”

Today, these words echoed across the dry and brazen SRC pitch as our boys finished a respectful 3rd after a day clammed in a myriad of emotions. To add, it was a 3rd which was marginalized by difference of tries as compared to rivals Temasek whom we won head-to-head anyway. Including that win, the boys sealed 3 wins, were held to an uncanny draw and were beaten by the eventual winners, Sheares.

Graceful, elegant, clinical and breathtaking to watch - this dance ensemble swept past all 5 opponents in enigmatic fashion. Their opponents did not ever know what hit them. All they could do was defend, defend and defend against these feisty Amazonian women. It was a 100% record for the team, and no tries conceded- not a single one -a gleeful repeat of the year before.

Having both suffered defeats to Raffles hall in their previous matches, Eusoff and Kent Ridge needed a win to secure passage into the semi finals. Any other result would see them eliminated in the group stages.
