Alas, it was not to be a fairytale ending for our Jr Netball girls. Their gallant efforts and unbeatable run since 2010 were halted by a resilient Fengshan team who clawed their way back to win the National Jr title. Our girls took a 8-3 lead in the 1st quarter and all seem like an upset was on the cards. However, some basic errors let Fengshan back into the game and after fighting all the way to the end, the girls could not overcome the strong showing by their opponents. 
It is important to take note that this team, coached by Mr Zanizam have achieved more than anyone could hope for. Mr Zanizam, Mr Aloysius Loh and Mrs Jasmine David have surpass even their own targets of a top four placing by beating established teams like St. Margrets, Tanjong Katong (in the zone) and other Netball powerhouses who's combine budget and coaching resources have made our accomplishment all that more a satisfying one. Mr Zanizam, a PE teacher at the school, has made many inroads into the sport and has brought SHPS netball to a new level through his limited but priceless contribution to the sport. He himself admited that going up against established coaches was a truly exciting and at times stressful experience but he has truly savoured every moment of the journey.
WE ARE PROUD OF SHPS NETBALL
