sunday morning matches....ai, always a mixed feeling situation! for one, its not a good timing for us, then empirical evidence suggest its the best durain picking time. and the fact is founded on opponents strolling in late (probably after a night's 'chiong', then again, we old guys also got 'chiong' what), and the waiting just makes us more determined to shake the durain tree hard. and so we decided that we'll impart 'the lesson of the day'.
opponents are a bunch of youngsters (21-25yrs), mixed of chinese and malay boys wearing a terror black set. we had to switch our intended blue kit with the white tops but it would not derail our run. it took a while to find our feet and we gave away a few good chances at the beginning. then chye showed his continuance of form, and the lesson began.
goal #1: opponents tried to play the offside but fleet-footed kh sprinted down the right to retrieve a through ball and send in an incisive ball for chye to tap home.
goal #2: lakesh came in and within minutes latched onto a loose ball. as kh drew a defender away, lak powered past 2 defenders and lashed a swirling shot over the keeper into the net, with his weaker left foot.
goal #3: good pressure fr attackers forced the keeper into a hasty clearance. too bad, it found chye and his lob is unerringly accurate (just like the 2 last week).
goal #4: more frustration for opponents as they keep insisting on playing a high line. a nice through ball into space on the left and chiang silkily (no spelling error here) carried the ball towards goal before skillfully (no spelling error here either) planting the ball into the inside netting, despite keeper getting a touch.
goal #5: similar to #4 but fr a more direct angle, yc strode forward and with the keeper to beat, it's a cinch. low and to the near corner.
half time 5-0.
minor reprieve: we did not clear well and inside the box, their striker hammered an unstoppable shot.
goal#6: their most disruptive (not in a footballing sense) character came back on and we expected more loudmouth action. his own action made sure there was none. yc floated a ball into the box and loudmouth headed the ball beautifully into his own net. poetic justice?
goal fr st's student: we lost the ball in a dangerous position and jin (st's student) scored with a well-taken low shot.
final score 6-2.

The 'mizuno' boots does it again. 3 of the scorers wore the same boots.
game aside, I think we can consider recruting the 2 chinese guys.
