Yes, 1978 was a very tough year. Every point counts for all the Divisions. SHS was the organiser.
Remember Boy A, Edmund Ling (400m) had an accident just b4 the meet. Tang Kee Tian was the reserve. Kee Tian was also down for 400m hundle. Boy B star strinter, Ah Fook had hamstring during the meet.
Anyway, Boy A won by 2 pts (Methodist was 2nd place).
Boy B won by 2 pts. (2nd placeTung Hua).
Boy C won by a mere 1 pt. (Methodist was 2nd place).
I remember SHS was the only school having “holiday” after the meet.
Headline (sports section) I think… “Bitter pill for.. (………) ‘our rival schools’ “
