Sri Lanka's Youth Netballers were trounced by Singapore 51 points to 29 in their preliminary round match in the Asian Youth Netball Championships in South Korea today.

Singapore, who are ranked second in Asia in the Under 21 category, outscored Sri Lanka in all four quarters, 11-08, 10-05, 15-09, 15-07.

This was Sri Lanka’s first defeat of the tournament, having recorded big wins against South Korea and Brunei earlier.

Singapore now leads Group B in the tournament, with the top two teams qualifying for the semi-finals.

Sri Lanka will face Chinese Taipei tomorrow (14) and victory will guarantee second place in the group, although it would mean a tougher opponent, likely Malaysia, who are the defending champions, in the next round. (Susil Premalal)

Don’t loose confidence what is lost now is a battle not the war. Regroup and comeback with vengeance and smash the Singapore team made out of descendants of Chinese labourers.

Despicably racist comment about Singapore team being made of decedents "Descendants of Chinese labourers". Sri Lankan team aren't made of children of royalty, not that royalty matters in any way.

Nothing to worry. Plan out the strategies properly and win the remaining matches, including the final. Best wishes!

This Match report is poor. It gives no description of the game or why we lost. This could've been written by simply looking online!
