A re-match of the Sunday derby: Marine Sunday (hereafter referred to as Uncles) vs Sunday FC (hereafter referred to as Young Fellas) and Uncles have put to rest which Sunday is a better day :)The re-match was certainly a closer and tighter affair and Young Fellas doubled their tally against us this time round, finding our net twice whereas we remained stagnant at six.
Uncle Teck Wah pounced on the dreadful back pass by a Young Fella to his keeper and Uncle Teck Wah lobbed over the latter for our opening goal. Uncle Gan, with his trickery, released Uncle Chwee Leng on the right, whose cross sailed over the stranded Young Fella's keeper and Encik Kama nodded the ball into the empty net for a 2-0 lead. Young Fellas then came back strongly and were much quicker to every ball. Their striker, No 2, turned Uncle Weng Kwan sharply before unleashing a superb left-footer that left Uncle Brandon rooted. 2-1 at the break.
Young Fellas continued with their high tempo in the 2nd half and Uncle Melvin's reckless challenge in the box earned Young Fellas a penalty but Uncle Brandon pulled off another fine save to deny Young Fellas their equaliser. But they didn't need to wait long for it. Their No 2's turn-and-volley again caught our keeper napping and at 2-2, things seemed to go their way. But Marine Sunday are not a bunch of Uncles for nothing. Uncle Chor Guan showed how things should be done with his trademark lung-bursting charge into the box and whacked in our 3rd goal. Uncle Gan was then hacked down in the box and Uncle Teck Chye, who completed his 10-km run earlier before the match, converted the resultant spot kick. 4-2 up. Young Fellas' tentative defending allowed Uncle Gan to weave his way through to score our 5th goal and Uncle Teck Chye's shot from outside the box took a deflection off Young Fellas' defender's back to sail over the keeper for our half-dozen. The Uncles tried valiantly but we failed to improve on our last outing.
Final score: Marine Sunday 6 : Sunday FC 2
