Latest News, Updates, and Happenings on the Transfer Market.
Da Xiang has never ever kept it to himself, that he wants every top secondary shooter in Singapore to end up eventually in NJC.
and one of his targets is none other than AISS pistol shooter HSX.
however, HSX has made a controversial remark, published in The Straits Times, 30 May 2008, page H21.
["I want to be like national shooters Vanessa Yong, Adrienne and Jasmine Ser," he (HSX) said.]
this is a really intriguing statement he made. for a number of reasons.
1. Vanessa Yong, Adrienne and Jasmine Ser are girls. unless he wants to go to Thailand and....
2. The three of them are rifle shooters. so he wants to switch back?
3. They are all under NTT, so that means he wun wanna train under Denker anymore?
4. Of the three, two are from AJC while one from HCI. is it a hidden statement that NJC is out of his options?
Other Transfer Market News.
SportsSchool: As 2008 passes the halfway mark, we can sense Sports School/ Eddie Lim will be out scouting for innocent new blood again, to put thru their "intensive training programmes". There are a few targets identified and a move is expected in the near future. As of now, the names will not be revealed as it remains private.
HwaChong: HCI seems on the path to retain all their charges from High School and NYGH despite NgCX's desperate attempts to poach the shooters from the neighbouring schools. The sad news is there don't seem to be any reinforcements to the club through DSAs.
CJC: It seems unlikely that the main sec 4s from SPS will move on to CJC, which will leave a huge gap for VLee to fill.
Raffles: The teams from RI and RGS looks set to move up to RJC.. as usual.
YeongLQ: The top PSLE scorer in 2002 reportedly remarked that if his Chem Olympiad clashed with Nationals, he would choose to go for Chem O. not like RJC needs him to win A div ARM anyway!
AJC: SerXW is stepping on the brakes for training, to make way for books. Projected training frequency stands at around once per week. She needs to make up for the studying time sacrificed for her overseas expeditions. This will deal a huge blow to AJC's charge for their first ever title.
ACJC: ACJC is one of the few schools always left out when it comes to mentioning favourites, especially for Air Pistol. This is a gentle reminder that ACJC are still in it for Air Pistol. The best is yet to be.
SAFRA: There has been a lot of kopitiam talk among pundits about Nationals recently. The spirit is in the air, and there are nearly FOUR pages of students training at SAFRA Yishun daily. A record, in recent memory. And it's not even June yet.
Saturday's NYT Monthly Shoot will be a good gauge about how C div will turn out to be like.
