Team NTU will look to make it four wins from four in this year’s pre-season campaign when they face Anglo Chinese School at Dover Road this Saturday morning.

Coach Lincoln Tan is using what little he has and making the most with it, simple and successful. The NTU forwards were committed to their pick-and-go game plan and it sparked off several key phases in their victory over ACJC last week.

“We got our driving game going against ACJC, and from a performance point of view, we made some huge steps forward. But we need to be better and go up a gear, because it is a continuous challenge for ourselves. We cannot afford to slip up,” said Coach Tan.

Coach Tan has also played down concerns in the number of unforced turnovers in previous games.

“The whole team’s going to take a more direct and aggressive approach this weekend and it’s clear that we weren’t exactly satisfied with how we were in the contact area last week,” revealed veteran Ah ‘Tiong’ Kow.

“It’s just about the individual’s taking ownership of that area. You know collectively the understanding was there, it was just the lack of communication that let us down,” claimed Coach Tan.

Walking Wounded:

The Boon Lay Warriors had an injury scare for centre-fullback-utility-forward ZZZ but he has recovered sufficiently to remain in contention for the starting lineup.

There was little joy for Team NTU on the ‘Salsa King’ injury saga, as the self proclaimed ‘C1 Legend’ has struggled to recover from a hamstring strain that was proving to be more troublesome than first thought. He is joined on the injury list by ‘Hairy Mal’, who suffered a knee strain that would keep him out for an indefinite period.
