Slingers Head Coach Neo Beng Siang said “although it is not the idea schedule to start the season, with 8 of your first 10 games away from home, we are hanging tough and we are looking at being well placed after the xmas break”.
Coach Neo added, “We hope the local crowd will come out in full force when we get back to the OCBC Arena in the new year and help support the team on our push to the play-offs this season”.
The Slingers have 9 local players in their 12 player roster, and with injured players Ng Han Bin and Wu Qingde set to return to action very soon, the team will get the added depth needed to make a strong run to the play-offs.
The Slingers will finish the 2015-16 ABL season with 8 out of their last 10 games at the OCBC Arena in Singapore.
The Singapore Slingers current sit in 3rd position in the 2015-16 ABL standings with a 4 win – 2 loss record.
