SINGAPORE — Tussling for the ball, two players attempted to wrestle it from Lee Fong Nam. As she gripped it to her chest, she demanded intervention from the coach. “Are you still not going to blow the whistle?”He chuckled and said: “You all are playing rugby!”Actually this is Singapore’s Ah Ma Flippa Ball team — Ah Ma is grandmother in several Chinese dialects. They are a group of women mostly in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who play a modified version of water polo designed for children.
