The Republic Polytechnic Volleyball (F)
team scored its first ever victory in the POL-ITE games against Ngee Ann
Polytechnic in the group stage with a score of 3-0 (28-26, 26-24, 25-21) on 27th
Oct 06 to secure a place in the semi-finals on 1st Nov 2006 at Temasek
Polytechnic.
After losing to Temasek Polytechnic in the semi-finals,
Team Republic played against Nanyang Polytechnic for 3rd-4th placing on 3rd
Nov 2006. Being the underdogs, the RP Volleyball (F) Team showed that we
were no pushovers and beat NYP, 4-1 (19-25, 25-20, 25-16, 25-7) to clinch
3rd place in this year’s POL-ITE Volleyball Games.
Months of rigorous training and hard work
finally paid off and our Volleyball team has made significant progress. With the
addition of National Women's Youth Volleyball Team captain, Sim Kai Xuan Rena,
to our team this year, this combination of team work and skill was the winning
formula for Team Republic.
Despite having expended their energy during
the POL-ITE games, the volleyball girls still put up a good show at the
Southwest Heartland District Beach Volleyball Cup 2006 held the following
morning, our two teams securing commendable 2nd and 3rd placings.
The team would like to thank Wilson Ang
(OSG), OSG’s Sports Development Team, Tay Ling, and all other staff and students
who supported us during the POL-ITE games. We would also like to show our
appreciation to our advisor, Lin Tze-Ing (OHR) who has been very supportive of
us and for always believing in us. We hope this will be
our start of
greater achievements for RP.
