Overall score: 4-1 to Eusoff!
1st Singles - Celine
First up was the captain of the girls team- Celine. Although it was her birthday, she decided to give the team a gift instead, by winning the first match and starting the day off well! She won the first set with ease, showing off her fast reflexes and took it 21-9. However, in the second set, her opponent began catching up and for a while the scores were very close as both parties fought hard. Thankfully, Celine pulled away at the last moments and reclaimed the lead at 21-17, winning the first game of the day. Happy Birthday Celine!
Birthday girl secures an easy W for Eusoff!
1st Doubles - Huilin and Weilynn
Huilin and Weilynn were up next, and showed off their amazing teamwork, delivering powerful smashes and fending off their opponents point after point. They were cool and collected as they comfortably took the first set 21-8, and continued to excel in the next set, winning it by an even larger margin of 21-5.
2nd Singles - Gladys
The next single was Gladys, who was up against KE7’s best player, who is in the IVP team. Despite being the underdog, Gladys started off the first set strong, and each side fought hard for each point, constantly tying at 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4. However, her opponent began taking the lead slowly at 9-7, and eventually took the set 21-11. The second set started off well, with Gladys tying with her opponent at 3-3 again. Unfortunately, her opponent began taking the lead again and won the set 21-6. Despite her loss, Gladys fought hard for each point and did not let her opponent win points from her easily, and was a strong competitor on the court.
Eusoff : KE7
2: 1
2nd Doubles - Gwen and Clara
Meanwhile, Gwen and Clara were at the neighbouring court securing yet another win for the team. They had great chemistry and strength between them, easily winning the first set 21-11. Not letting their guard down, they played even better the second time round and did not allow their opponents to get many points pass them, and took the second set 21-5! (Securing the win for Eusoff :D)
3rd Singles - Felicia
Freshie Felicia started out her first set strong as well, with a comfortable lead of 13-6 after some good judgement calls and strong hits. However, her opponent began catching up after the interval, eventually tying at 18-18 with Felicia. The high pressure situation caused Felicia to lose her lead at 18-19, but with some advice from coach Oscar, as well her own determination, Felicia managed to take it to deuce, and eventually won the set 23-21. Wanting to avoid another close call, Felicia played calmly and coolly in the second set, making less mistakes and took the second set with a strong margin of 21-9!
Felicia shows her prowess on court with an impressive comeback, and a strong second set.
