‘Psyched up’ by the sidelined Jeremiah, they beat St Andrew’s to regain B Div rugby title
Despite not being on the National Stadium pitch for the B Division boys' rugby final on May 6, AngloChinese School (Independent)'s Jeremiah Lee played a key role in their triumph.
The Secondary 4 student, who was sidelined after suffering a concussion in their 46-7 semi-final win over Raffles Institution (RI) on April 25, gave a rousing speech in the dressing room that had his teammates tearing up.
He said: "This is the last year for us. Not all of us will play together as a team after this." Fired up by his words, ACS(I) beat fierce rivals St Andrew's Secondary School 15-11 to wrest the title back, having lost 19-12 to the same opponents in the 2023 final.
"His speech in the locker room really got us psyched up," ACS(I) captain Jansen Ling, 15, told The Straits Times.
