Home United (U18) boys won last evening game against Cyber Relax with the score 76-48. Mitchell (No.8) was on fire in the 1st quarter when he hit four 3-pointer in a row. The 1st quarter ended with Home United leading 25-8.

Home United started to slow down their pace in the 2nd and 3rd quarter resulting Cyber Relax to closing up the gap. The lead was reduced to 14 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. Home United started the last quarter strongly and eventually won the last quarter 22-8. The final score 76-48 sees Home United moving a step closer to the final round.

While the Under 18 continued to march to the final round, the Under 16's hopes for qualifying the final round suffered a blow when they lost to Singapore Schools, 85-41. Although they lost by a 44 points margin, they performed much better compared to their last game against Whye Nam. It seems like the boys have slowly adapted to big matches and its a good sign for the coach when they faced Tagawa in "must win" match on Thursday.

The Under 18 girls were outclassed by KG Ubi Kembangan as they lost 49-61. It was their second lost in the final round as their result with Stackers was brought forward to this round. Their remaining matches are against Singapore Schools, Hong Kah North and NYJC. With little hopes against the mighty Singapore Schools, Home United must win against Hong Kah North and NYJC to finish top 4.
