The female squash team brought victory to KE in their preliminary round, winning Sheares with a score of 3-2. Yuwei, who was the captain of the team, said that she was pleased with the line-up as it went according to her plan.

Theng Wai, our IVP and also the first player for the matches, played against a new player, Pei San and expectedly won the first set of the game and thrashed her opponent in the second set 11-0!

Theng Wai's victory smile 🙂

In the second match, Mabel played as if it was a warm up session for her. For perhaps all her serves in both games lasted only six minutes in total. Her opponent, Ling Xi who seemed to be new to the sport, could not reflect the ball back to the front wall. It was a clear victory for Mabel, thrashing her opponent severely 11-0 for both sets.

It was 'no sweat', man!

The next opponent our team faced was Sabrina. She was of good build which could intimidate me if I were her opponent. Despite that, Christina from KE put up a good fight especially in the second set. However, she lost the game 3-11 and 5-11. Still, we would like to say, “That was a good try, Christina!”

Christina never gave up fighting for KE!

KE then sent their fourth player into the court, with high hopes to win this match.

At approximately 11am, Janice was still frantically slapping herself to wake up.  She was visibly sleepy before the games. On the court, she did not show any signs of sleepiness and convincingly won her opponent Alicia 11-3 and 11-5 in the two matches! =)

Janice in focus

The close fight between Deborah (KE ) and Grace (SH) resulted in an exciting match. Neither of them relented and each scored almost right after another did. In the second game played, Deborah almost perfected a graceful split while trying to receive the ball. However, she lost 8-11 and 6-11. According to Yuwei, the main focus was on the last match because both players were on par.

The most exciting match of the day

Such support shown among KE players is our pride

KE Squash (f) team will enter the semi-finals the following day and we wish them victory once again.
