So you can see the team is made up of several clubs/schools. You can say the national team is from the community and competiting for the community in the international region. They have a blog too http://www.singaporedragonboat.blogspot.com/ but it's very seldom updated though. Would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support for the national team. Also, to those whose teammates are in the national team, thank you for your understanding. I think it is never easy to compete for both club and country, so your understanding means a lot. Do hope everyone in the community supports them as they prepare to qualify for the Asian Games 2010.

I m sure that

for the players to be selected into the NTeam. I m sure that they have put in a lot of hard work, to fight for the honour and pride.

Neverthless, wish all the rowers all the best if you are selected if not selected, train hard for the next round

Interesting.  It also shows that it is incorrect to use the terms "Mountbatten" and "SG National Team" interchangeably, as many people do.  They are not one and the same.

[long-pull]

is this the most updated list?

And those not in the name list??

I dont see SongKang, Clement Leong, Gerome Seah, Tan Weiren, Kelward Ong, Kyo, Jin Wei and many more   They no longer in the N team?

do forget M used to have many EX national.
This time round M fail to pull the current N to it squad.

Recent SAVA sprint, current N formed up PMC.
Recent SRR, many current N went under Kampong Ubi and beat Mountbatten in the CSC race.

Wow! Long-pull U seem to noe alot. Especially when it came to who are in the current nteam. Actually, I always wondered, does someone who comes from being in the nteam gives a team a better advantage? I think its not just being in the nteam that allows ppl to win medals u noe:)

SDBA should set a rule, for local races, no team are to have more then 3 National in the boat.
Who like to see Mountbatten, and now kampoon Ubi always winning the CSC races?

being in the nteam, travelling overseas for races, and coming back with the wealth of experience, i believe is the greatest advantage he can bring into any team he paddles for. as nteam they are naturally pushed through a higher intensity program and trains so much harder than other teams' paddlers - so naturally they are physically better. but i believe atthe end of the day experience counts. and if this nteam paddler is able to impart such knowledge to the team he belongs in, it'll be tremendously advantageous to the team.
