Home United under 16 Youth Team (Dragons) were drawn into a group of death in this year Milo Cup. Together in the group are Tong Whye Temple, DOS and Quan Fong. Quan Fong should be the weakness team among all and the three strong teams are left to fight for two slots to proceed to the second round.
The Dragons recorded an easy win tonight at SBC against the lowly Quan Fong. Home is more superior in any department on the court. It was really a one sided game after all with the final score read 105-34.
Home, same as before deployed full court man mark right from the start, similar to the senior team when they won Tong Whye in the NBL final. But they seems to need some time to gel together as there are times where Quan Fong scored easy baskets due to their lacks of concentrations. Despite the down side, this squad fared better in their field goal percentage compared to previous year’s squad.
This match final score line should prove nothing if they lose in their remaining fixtures. Home has some players retained from last year’s squad. With No. 4 Kahliang, No.6 Jun Hao and No.7 Larry remained, back came No.10 Dawei from the combined school. The squad is reinforced by players from the Anglican High. However, the squad lacks of big center, and it will be interesting to see how they cope with team like Tong Whye and DOS.
Next up, Protectors takes on Henderson and Home under 18 faced tough test against Killiney Kopitiam.
By looking at the team sheet, Protectors strength should be about the same as the Dragons. They will meet Henderson in their first game tomorrow at SBC tomorrow at 7pm. The rest of teams are Kaixuan and Gryphons. Home United under 18 shared the same fate as the Dragons, a tough group awaiting ahead as they takes on Killiney Kopitiam tomorrow at a outdoor court Beside Kembangan MRT at 8.30pm. The other two groups are combined school white and team illusion. A big match tomorrow for the under 18 squad. For whoever the winner, that team stands a very high chance to enter the 2nd round.
All the best Home Team……….
