Congratulations to our dearest 1zhen, MVP for the Daisy Tan Carnival 2009!
The day was hothothot, but that didn't stop 1zhen with her miracle interceptions, so fast and so unexpected that they couldn't be caught on camera. =P

Netball Superstar

This is belated news, but better late than never, yeah?

Warmest congratulations to our very own Chen HuiFen for clinching the MVP title at the recent 5 Nations Netball Cup which was held in Singapore. You know, the one where Singapore won? I guess that doesn't really help, but you know which one I'm talking about, right?

Not a very recent picture, since I don't have any of HuiFen's recent photos in my possession, but she's always been looking great so I suppose it doesn't make a very big difference right? :D

HuiFen~!!! 我们永远支持你!
And of course, let's also not forget our other brilliant players who are also putting in their best to bring pride to our country (and of course to BLAZE), Vanessa, HuiYan, QingYi, and LiLing. Congratulations to the five of them for making into the World Netball Championship 2007 team. All the best! While not many of us can make it to New Zealand to witness the event, we'll definitely be rooting for you girls back here in sunny Singapore. :)

The championships will be commencing this November in New Zealand.

Match Report: Blaze VS Winderoo

10th August 2007, Friday night, Friendly match against Winderoo Senior High School (Australia)

So, we had this friendly match against the Aussies this evening. It was certainly an eye-opener, be it for the juniors or the seniors. I'm certain that even our senior team had the experience of their lives. Great game girls!!

For those of you who missed training tonight, and thus missing the match, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MISSED. Because honestly, there wasn't much to miss. Except for a few new penalties that we learnt about and should be aware of in our upcoming games. Penalties such as 'Contact on the foot', 'Holding for space (for attackers)', 'Holding when you're two feet away from the opponent (for defenders)', and 'Obstruction because you're flying past in the air' are such serious penalties and should be avoided at all costs, for commiting such penalties would only tarnish our team's reputation of being a clean team.

It is regretful that our worthy opponents did not seem to appreciate our best behavior, but it was a great game nonetheless. While our attackers were very much hindered by the extremely accurate calls from the Aussie umpires, we managed to put up a good fight to come back with an optimistic result of 48-27 (senior team) in our favour.

We sympathize with the few Aussie players who injured themselves in the course of giving their all for the match, and we sincerely hope they recover soon. So that they can be comfortable and well enough to pack up and return back to their beautiful country in time for their busy schedules.

While our considerate coaches did prepare souvenirs for our visitors, we definitely lacked the personal touch in our gifts. The girls from Winderoo put in such great effort to express their gratitude, presenting Blaze with a lovely handmade card with their handwritten greetings.




And while all our players certainly performed to their best while trying to keep themselves penalty-free, the most outstanding player of the night was definitely our beloved Discipline Mistress, Miss Yeo Wei Qi. The usual mid-court player took on new challenges tonight and took up the position of Goal Keeper, effectively rendering herself as the shortest GK in Blaze history. Small in size but big in performance, Wei Qi intercepted numerous passes in the goal circle despite facing an opponent who was a head taller than she is.

Three cheers for WEI QI!

Three cheers for BLAZE!
