Singapore fend off Malaysia but need consistency in final against Sri Lanka

- Kimberly Kwek

'KEEPING THE SCORE TIGHT'

Singapore survived a late comeback from Malaysia in the semi-finals of the Asian Netball Championship on Oct 26 to set up a meeting with two-time defending champions Sri Lanka in the Oct 27 final.

It was a tale of two halves in the clash between the Causeway rivals, with world No. 24 Singapore eventually winning 54-46.

Singapore's interim coach Yeo Mee Hong said they had the strong start that they wanted as they raced to a 33-18 half-time lead.

"We finished really well in the first quarter, and then we were pulling the score away in the second quarter," she said.

Some poor ball handling and decision-making in the second half allowed the Malaysians to come back.

Yeo added: "We expected that from the Malaysians and the way our girls controlled the game towards the end was good, but we have to work on our consistency."
