Dear ST reader,
Ten years of hurt ended on Oct 27 as Singapore came from behind to defeat two-time defending champions Sri Lanka in the final of the Asian Netball Championship and regain the title they last won in 2014.
Meanwhile, Singapore golfer Shannon Tan is hoping to ride on the momentum ahead of the last two events of a trailblazing debut season on the Ladies European Tour after finishing joint-second at the Women’s Indian Open.
And, Singapore kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder will be doing the “smart” thing by saving and investing the $250,000 reward he earned for winning the Olympic bronze.
See you again next week. For the latest news on Singapore sports, check out ST Sport.
