Singapore's Amandeep Kaur Chahal attempts a shot during the Republic's 58-36 victory over Cook Islands at the Mirxes Nations Cup.After suffering a narrow defeat by Papua New Guinea on the opening day of the Mirxes Nations Cup, Singapore were determined to return to winning ways.
“Morale was up there, we had the same mindset to just focus on the full 60 minutes of this game and give it our all, to be hungrier for each ball and really contest to get more balls.” Goal shooter Amandeep Kaur Chahal, who converted 91 per cent of her attempts, said: “The whole team’s mindset in general for today was to come back stronger and prove a point that we’re here to win.
The Kiwi said: “Cook Islands brings a different style to us. We’ve been up against PNG and we were trying to minimise our errors today, just have good clean ball and deny Cook Islands because once they go on their run, they’ve got that natural flair so we had to shut that down really quickly.” The team see the 2023 edition as an opportunity to prepare for the Nov 19-Dec 2 Pacific Games and are also hoping to finish on the podium in Singapore.
