After a decade-long wait and two painful final losses, Singapore are finally the queens of Asian netball again.
Co-captain Toh Kai Wei said: “This has been something we have been talking about and targeting the whole year, so we are very happy and proud of our team performance. We were very composed and patient in overtime, pushed our legs and made a lot of movements. The possession often ended up with Lee Pei Shan finding the net, as the 1.86m goal shooter contributed 12 goals in the opening quarter, which ended 17-12 in the Vandas’ favour.
But with Algama missing during the nervy late stages, and Toh beginning to find her range, Singapore recovered to lead 52-51 with a minute left, only for Rashmi Perera to send the match into the two extra periods. Yeo also paid tribute to her team and said: “We wanted to play an efficient game, and we have been building up since our first game and consistently improving. Our basics were fantastic and I’m very happy with the girls’ composure and discipline with our passing in the final.
