We had an encouraging start for the
Chapter as our Youth U18 Team was
among the top 8 teams in the 2016
National Milo Cup competition. We also
participated in the Singapore National
Games, bowing out in the second round.
The Oldham basketball team comprises
current school boys and their seniors whom
they train with on Saturdays, plus other
players from the basketball community who
by word of mouth joined in the training.
Although from different backgrounds, the
players have blended in well with the
seniors guiding the juniors along, and
maintaining strong camaraderie.
Looking forward, the Chapter hopes to
groom young leaders to take ownership of
the club and to attract more players who
share the same dreams and values. Our
current base of 35 to 40 players is also
meeting up for after court fellowships. We
really hope that by joining the Chapter,
they would benefit both in their stamina
(and health) now and in their career later.
Meanwhile, we are building our depths
to meet the challenges of the Division
2 National Men Open 2016 and the
Inter-constituency Cup 2017, and at the
same time exposing our players to more
community competitions such as the CBL/
YBL and the CSC cups.
