Match #24 (16 Jun 2013): Marine Sunday Stonewalled the Men from the Land of Great Wall

Welcome back, Seah! And if there were anybody we could pay tribute to in today's match, there were two - the 41-years-old Seah, for his assured display after almost 2 years of layoff through serious knee injury, and the 14-year-old Alex for putting in three great crosses from the right and two of which should have been converted into goals.

Yes, we whitewashed our opponent, O Boys, today but to be fair to them, they only had 10 players throughout the match. Still, they have 3 brilliant individuals who gave us problems throughout the match. Despite the numerical advantage, we only managed a slender 1-0 lead at the break, courtesy of Gan's opener. Such was the great play of their 3 individuals that they did deserve a goal in 1st half. Weng Khong got our 2nd goal after the break after a brilliant turn in the box but O Boys reduced the deficit when KH's poor giveaway in midfield resulted in their goal. Their euphoria was quickly deflated as we scored our 3rd right from the kick-off. Teck Chye chipped a through ball over their defence for Gan to bury it. And O Boys just went deflated resulting in the wide opening of the floodgate opened. Gan completed his hat-trick, Mike's brace, Teck Chye's double and Simon's goal completed the rout.

Final score: 9 - 1. Not a durian harvest season but sweet peach - shui mi tao :)
