Second successive week where we faced up against opponent comprising youngsters who are not even half our age. And this opponent was even more 'stylo' than our last week's opponent, with a few players turning up in full compression suit. But our grit and tactical discipline triumphed over individualism and showmanship. Yong Chua once again showed that joints and ligaments may be wearing out, agility may be eroding away, but class stays. His goal stamped class - after evading a tackle and seemingly losing his balance in the box, he steadied himself to place the ball beyond the well-positioned keeper for our only goal. But his goal would not have happened without that gritty tackle and superb interception from Chung Wen at the back. We converted that clearance into the winning goal in such fashion that even the football purists might have drooled. Against such team possessing youth and fitness, skill and techniques, we dug in and our defence line comprising Chor Guan, Rock, Weng Kwan, Chung Wen, Ng and Chwee Leng, with Mark providing the shield deserved our applause. 1-0 win but 10-nil satisfaction!
