C Boys Water Polo Final 2009

Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) beat Hwa Chong Institution to take the School's National Water Polo C Division title on 3 April 2009 but only after some highly charged moments.

ACS(I), the favourites, had a jittery start and it was Hwa Chong Institution who first found the net at the CCAB pool. The first quarter ended with the teams tied at 1-1.

At the end of the second quarter, ACS (I) was still unable to take the lead as several of their shots at goal went astray. Hwa Chong, on the other hand, capitalised on their chances and they managed to end this quarter tied at 3-3.

It was only in the third quarter that the ACSians started to settle down and stamp their authority. By the end of this quarter, ACS(I) was leading 6-4. They finally stormed home to win the match 10-5.

Said ACS(I) captain, Ooi Yee Jia: ''We were playing in our first school final and were nervous. We expected the result to be close but we believed we could win on the strength of the team.''
