Due to some technical issues, we also wrapped up our match against LSESS by playing for 5 minutes against them (shortened from 10 minutes due to the high number of matches LSESS played that day).

1. Jason Low
2. Yu Yen Chen

Once again, a huge thanks to everyone who came down on that day to play and support, and special thanks to Esther and Ashley as well, for managing and organising the teams.
Your friendly sports officer,
