Several good serves by Kenneth coupled with impressive attacking play by Kuan He and Lennis saw HC race to a 5-0 lead. However this was eventually cut short due to a miscommunication between Glenn and Zijie which resulted in a stray ball landing on our court unsaved.HC quickly recovered with Glenn and Lennis linking up for a successful quick attack and started to pull away. Two successive blocks by Chen Xing and Zijie ensured that HC took a 7 point lead at 9-2. This lead was immediately extended by Kuan He who demonstrated his serving prowess, which created confusion among the YJC team as they simply had no answers for his jump floats which was hugely unpredictable in its flight patterns.

Chen Xing found himself in impressive form as his offensive blocks ensured that HC established an unassailable lead of 15-3. The YJC attack simply could not find a way past his outstretched arms as he single-handedly halted their attacking moves.
