Home United surprised DOS with a win, when they put together some fine display to beat DOS 66-57 at Singapore Basketball Center today at 4pm.

This match, which was postpone from last night due to rain, held at SBC earlier today. What more can we say, the right venue and awesome plays from both sets of players. Mitchell (no.8) and Jason (no.9) were in top form today to upset DOS. Although Mitchell was unable to covert most of his shots outside, but his penetration to the paint to assist and score really run out DOS's defence. With DOS, No.8 Hanpin trying his best to man-mark him, he really couldn't do much to stop him. While Mitchell was pushing his team on, Jason Wong shared his burden by scoring some fine field goals and from the 3 point line.

But what is winning without defence? Home United's No. 4, Run Chao and No. 5 Jia Hao also put in some fantastic effort to keep DOS's point-guard No.7 at bay. His play was limited and his team mates suffered deeply without his assists. Home United's No.6, Ziqi also did a great job to limit DOS power forward, No.9 who was given a technical foul towards the end of the game. It clearly showed that he had a bad game.

But Mitchell could only made 1 out of the 4 free throws, or else it would be a bigger margin win. Nevertheless, the whole team showed some character to take down this game. Home United took another small step towards the finals.

The Home United under 16 will be taking on WRS in their last game of the tournament. It's gona be a game where they will need to win their pride back... Go on Home United U16 team. On the girls side, Home United Under 18 team will need to win against Singapore Schools to keep their hopes alive for the top four finish.

They will need to find No.4 Koh Hui Jun and No.12 Elica Foo Hirayama in top form and inspires the team push Singapore Schools all the way. It's going to be an uphill task. But WE ARE HOME UNITED, we never says die......
