"Dark Horse" Home United will take on last year's Champion, Min Yi in tonight's second round of the Milo Youth Cup. The game will be played at Ang Mo Kio CC at 8.30pm.
Min Yi will not be as strong as compared to last year's squad. But they will not be easy meat for any takers. Unlike last year, they do not have any "superstars" in the team, but as a whole, they are very hardworking if you see them played against WRS in the last match. They worked well together as a team.
Home United has been quite inconsistance based on round 1 performance. They tend to relax when they met weaker opponents and played well when they are facing tougher and stronger teams. A sign which is not healthy to any youth team as their inconsistance may make them pay for the all important matches in second round.
The second round results will be brought forward to the final round of the tournament. Which also mean that every game is important. It will be best for any team to win all the games if they can in this round as to ensure a good start in the next round...
The last time Home United played well was against Tong Whye. That's the only match that they showed real hunger for a win, hunger for the cup. The real test has just begin. Can they handle such pressure, handle stronger offence and defence from stronger opponents? We shall see how they fare in their 1st test tonight.
Good Luck Home United.
On the other side, the girls team will take on T-net Bt. Merah tonight, 7pm at Singapore Basketball Center. Home United and T-net all have a chance to qualify for next round. T-net need to win by 8 points to qualify for the next round.
Home United should be able to win this encounter. Even if they lose, they will not lose more than 8 points. But afterall, the ball is round anything can happen in the game especially when they lost to stackers by 11 points. As long as they played good defence, I don't see any reason for them to lose to T-net.
Home United's No.4 and No.12 will play an important roles today. The duo can create alot of trouble for the opponents if they played well. No.7 who came off the bench last match played quite well too. She just need to focus on grabbing down all the rebounds and drive into the paint. But she must watch out for her fouls. A players who commits unnecessary fouls at times.
Let's hope that two Home United Teams can produce good results today!
