Match #20 (29 May 10): Lost 2-0 against Young Guns

Another bunch of young turks who are not even half our age, throw in the hot afternoon at 3pm, there you had it - we were up against nimble limbs, robust lungs and the element. We were crappy in the 1st half. They could have buried us there and then but had only 1 goal to show for, courtesy of some sloppy defending from us, allowing their skilful left winger to turn Chwee Leng, side-step Hock Leong and then blast past Brandon. The closest we came to scoring was Teck Wah's effort kissing the horizontal. 2nd Half saw a better performance from us. In Leo's words, KH had their right-back for lunch but his crosses were either overhit or well intercepted by their sweeper. Teck Chye missed a sitter when he had only the keeper to beat. Teck Wah's blasting shot from a free-kick rocked the left upright. But Young Guns rued their misses as well - a close-range effort that came off the foot of the post and a penalty saved by Brandon. As we were pressing for the equaliser, Young Guns launched a swift counter-attack that fully exploited the gap we left behind and our lack of pace. Their forward beat Brandon with a cannon ball. 2-0 loss was the outcome.
