A small field, rainy day, and 15 players all boils down to a pulsating match. after some of the exhilarating movements that found us some breathtaking goals (and some cheap ones), forex had to comment we're a young team. doesn't matter the fact. that we put in another cohesive performance to give our uptrend further momentum was what matters.
was it the urgency to finish them off and rush to gan's wedding dinner or did we over-compensated for a potential viral attack? doesn't matter. always gr8 to win like that!
mark's goal: after a couple of near misses fr ms, we finally found the opening. forex's keeper came out of his box to retrieve a ball on the left. good pressure fr 2 of us cause him to clear hastily. mark coolly strike the ball first time to lob it beautifully into the open goal.
st's goal: more pressure as forex's midfield go missing. yc found st drifting in fr the left outside the box. one touch and st let fly a rising shot to keeper's top left corner whose mere touch could not keep out.
robin the accelerator's reprieve: off one of forex's rare attacks, forex's best player found space, raced towards goal and finished it off with an accurately placed shot. ms was miffed!
wah's goal: we started regaining the initiative and chye came in to supply bro a pass. with time and space, wah let fly a shot which a forex defender tried to cover. his attempt only caused the ball to loop over his stranded keeper.
half time: 3-1
chye's 2 carbon-copy goals: ms came out even hungrier for more. before long, chye showed his class with 2 carbon copy goals. forex's keeper had to come out again to stop a shot but the rebound was loose as defenders tried to cover. chye nonchalantly chipped the ball into the net. moments later, he was to repeat the same feat fr a good passing move. this time, the keeper was a couple of steps off his line but surely, he ought to hv learnt. doesn't matter...
yc's goal: kh was now taking the corners with his $15 china snow boots that have made him the number 1 assists in the shanghai bankers league. on astro, some worked some wonked. fr his corner, forex was too demoralised to clear properly and the ball fell to yc who banged it home fr close range.
mike's goal: another kh corner, another goal. this time his floater found st whose attempt at an acrobatic volley turned into a weak half-baked pass. it found mike who didn't miss fr 3 yards.
wah's goal: the best move of the game. towards the end, we were stringing some good passes together and only some inspired goalkeeping prevented an avalanche of goals. such endeavors have its rewards with a flowing finish. 3 clever interchanges in midfield was followed by a precise diagonal ball down the left for guan to run into. he has the option of taking it but the passing momentum was so good that another sharp pass into space was the perfect choice for wah to execute the perfect finish to a (almost) perfect match!
final score: 8-1
Wishing you and your family a happy & prosperous lunar new year!

Usually the reports are about the goals,seldom about the defenders and the goalkeeper. Maybe the special breeds that keep the opponent at bay should pen in their take on their contributions????
Seah made a very good save in the second half. The shot was going to the far corner but his finger tip save was a contender for save of the year!!!!!
agree...but not many people are logging in here. Seah's save is the best I've seen so far. From where I stand, the ball was almost curling in. Ng & Wen also made some timely tackles in the games.
think after a shaky start to the year, we maybe getting our form from most part of last year back. probably the long break in December when we had so many canceled games did not help. and I finally got myself a new pair of astroturf boots...and no prizes for guessing what brand...mizuno of cos :)
