(Tim 1)

Starting Line-up

Line-up
Samuel, Jun Rong, Nevin, Joel, Sheng Jie, Daryl, Jason, Tim, Jun Xiang (Jack), Shi Jie, Jack Moy

Not the right time to hold the match consider the number of players unavailable. With Kelvin, Yen Sun and Chew Teng out with injuries and Kenny, Raymond and Kai Pin away on duties, basically we just fielded another brand new team! In came Nevin, Shi Jie, Jack and also 2 guest players, Jason and Jack (there are 2 of them). Changes included Samuel starting as GK, Sheng Jie starting at LB and Daryl starting at DM.

1st half. As usual against the run of play, a long punt by Sheng Jie caught the opponent’s GK off guard and that allow Jack to sneak in to score into an empty net. But he was denied by a handball by their defender who deserve a red card. Instead, only a penalty was awarded and Tim converted it from the spot to give us the lead. NJ team push hard for an equaliser and they were really lucky to get it due to a misfortunate kick by Joel resulted in an own goal, after Samuel made a 1-on-1 save from the striker. Before the half end, a miskick by Nevin allow their striker to sprint through to lob the ball over Samuel to make it 2-1.

2nd half was pretty like the 1st match where the floodgate just flow open as waves and waves of attack from the NJ team made the scoreline 5-1! However, if not for the determination of Joel, it could hav been even 10 or 15-1! Therefore, Man-of-the-Match goes to Joel this time round!

Man-of-the-Match: Joel
