Match #15 (24 Apr 10): Lost 3-4 against Top Ten

Our scrappy performance persisted throughout April, strange month indeed. Today, everyone seemed to have stepped into wrong-sized boots, including our usually dependable midfielders who kept giving the ball away. It was a very disjointed performance in the 1st half to say the least. We seized the lead through Teck Wah against the run of play, capitalising on their high line. Then they equalised through a direct free-kick. Gan pounced on another breakaway to put us 2-1 up before a poor giveaway allowed their star man to advance unchecked and let fly a stiff shot to beat Brandon. Another poor pass allowed the same star man to charge down the flank before setting up his striker to tap the ball in. 2 - 3 at the break. We kept the ball much better in the 2nd half. Gan squared the ball to Simon for our equaliser, or so we thought. Then, Top Ten made use of their height to nod in their winning goal from a corner. The scoreline could have been much worse had it not for Brandon who pulled off 2 fantastic saves and another 2 tip-overs to save us the embarassment.
