Congratulations to our Tanglin netballers on their outstanding performances at the Tanglin Lions Netball Tournament this past weekend! Competing against top-tier teams from Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, all three squads demonstrated remarkable skill, determination, and teamwork, making us incredibly proud.
The 16A squad had an exceptional run, playing a total of 11 matches on Saturday. Their winning streak throughout the tournament was a testament to their hard work and dedication. In a thrilling final against Singapore Netball Academy, they secured a well-deserved victory with a score of 15-12, earning the title of 16&U champions.
The 19A squad showcased their talent and resilience throughout the day, delivering a series of impressive performances. Their hard work led them to the final against Dulwich, a match that proved to be an intense and closely contested battle. Despite their tremendous effort, Dulwich managed to edge ahead to take gold. Nevertheless, the Tanglin girls should be incredibly proud of their performance and sportsmanship.
