Singapore Vanda's momentum was halted as they fell to their first defeat, succumbing 36-49 to a strong Kenyan side
After a strong start in the Mirxes Nations Cup with back-to-back wins, the Singapore Vandas momentum was halted as they fell to their first defeat, succumbing 36-49 to a strong Kenyan side.
As the highest-ranked team in the competition, UAE dominated their opening game against Singapore A with a 65-41 victory, followed by convincing wins over Kenya and Canada .Although Singapore head coach Annette Bishop was pleased with her team’s win in the first game, she astutely identified areas that required improvement and ensured her squad remained focused on refining their performance.
But the match against 25th-ranked Ireland highlighted Singapore’s inconsistency and room for improvement, as they struggled with numerous missed shots and unforced errors, which could have easily swung the outcome in Ireland’s favour. We were lucky we had that good start. But in saying that, there were a few different combinations we tried, and it was about us working through those sticky moments and still being able to put the goal in the end,” reflected head coach Bishop.
