Match #1 (2 Jan 2010): 2 - 4 Loss against (who else but) Babylon

One-and-a-half months of no football clearly showed in everyone's play this morning. Rusty, poor touches, lack of fitness, poor positional play were all clearly in display in the 1st half, despite Babylon having only 8 players for some 1st 15 minutes. Yet we couldn't capitalise on the numerical advantage. Yet they still managed to snatch a lead with a fine individual effort. Then their striker outjumped our guest player, Tim to end the 1st-half 2-0.

Mike reduced the defict through a goal-mouth scramble but they quickly restored their 2-goals advantage with another individual effort. Weng Khong, Teck Wah and Kian Hwa conjured up our 2nd goal to make it 3-2. Despite running on half tanks, having played their 3rd match in 3 days, they are still far superior in fitness. A 3rd piece of individual skills produced their 4th goal and the match ended 4-2.

Still, it was a good effort from us. We remain hard to beat for them!
