Match 47 (25 Dec 10): Ended 2010 with a Bang!

KH set the KPI before the match - to score minumum 2 goals in order not to end up having the worst goal-scoring season. And you guys responded marvellously - you doubled the tally to register an emphatic 4-0 win over Singapore Lions Lookalikes, an All-Malay team whom we first played against them on 2 May 2005. Then it was a nail-biting and awe-inspiring comeback-from-behind 5-5 draw. Both sides have aged and we will always remain older than them, but we have maintained our shape (in all sense) better than them. Our past encounters with them had always been close but today, we stamped our mark. Credit to our disciplined play. We didn't park any bus in front of our goal but our compactness at the back nullified their forays and stopped them in the final one-third. The fact that they had only 1 shot at goal spoke volume of our solid backline. And that only shot? Brandon showed why he's been our No 1 this season.

YC imposed so much pressure on their defender to cause the latter to turn an innocuous cross from KH into an own goal. That was how it stood at the break - 1-0! Then in 2H, our defenders showed our strikers how goals are scored. Kok Hock broke the offside line to half-volley in our 2nd goal. Then in the last 10 minutes, Chor Guan was pushed upfront and duly converted 2 through-balls. Before that, our left-back Chwee Leng had a brilliant one-on-one opportunity, only to be denied by the toes of their keeper.

4 goals, clean sheet. Perfect greetings for Merry Christmas.

Hope you guys enjoyed the 2010 season and had derived much fun and satisfaction from playing with Marine Sunday. See you in 2011 :)
