Nobody would disagree with me that Teck Wah played a big part in this close encounter with Hearts, setting up the 1st goal for Simon and scoring a brace himself. Neither would anyone dispute with me the impressive contribution of Teck Chye in his out-of-the-world burst that beat Hearts' full-back flat and set up his younger sibling for the winning goal. But this win was actually made possible by the men of steel at the back - Chor Guan cutting out all the high balls, Rock throwing his body and limbs to block all shots, the trademark crunching tackles of Ng, the cool head of Leo and how Chwee Leng, as a right-back in the 2nd half, sprinted across the box to the left to nullify a breakaway counter-attack by Hearts.
The match was settled at half-time but we were literally on the backfoot throughout the 2nd half so great credit to our rearguard! Chung Wen, another man of valour, unfortunately pulled his hamstring in the 1st half and had to retire early. Fantastic 3-2 win!
