Home United Hits Double

Both Men and Women team of Home United Basketball Club clinched this year’s Converse Singapore Challenge Cup. Both team were the favourites to win this title and came out as expected as Champion. The two teams remain unbeaten in this tournament while on their way to the championship.

The last game of the tournament saw HUBC men taking on Malacca Chin Woo in a tightly contested “Final”. Chin Woo took the lead in the first quarter with Home trailing behind by 3 points. The next 3 quarters were all Home United when they overtook Chin Woo and maintained their lead all the way to the final buzzer.

Chin Woo was playing badly at one point during the 3rd quarter, allowing HUBC to take a 15-point lead. Although Chin Woo tried to recover from the break, it was all too late for them to catch up.

The women team seems to be cruising past their opponents. As expected, Qian Xi and Kg Ubi Kembangan are the only team that caused trouble to HUBC. With such talents in the squad, the women team should be able to capture next year’s NBL Championship.
