Match #38 (25 Sep 11): Held 2-2 again!

We can recycle following reasons as valid excuses as we age - young opponents, hot weather, we are mid-40s...But today we did not let our young opponent, Lime Green, overrun us. In fact, we had enough chances to bury them if we were a wee bit sharper and faster upfront. Lime Green took the lead and then fought hard to equalise. In between their goals, Simon and Mike reversed the deficit from the early goal conceded and put us at 2-1 up at the break. We knew we would be vulnerable in the 2nd half and true enough, we let them have too much space in front of our box and they found the equaliser from a well-taken goal outside the box.

We succumbed to the weather, no doubt, and the last minute pullouts of Weng Khong, Melvin and Yong Chua did not help the matter. Among the positive takeaways were See Chiang, making his comeback, having his runout for 2nd week in a row after a prolonged period of absence and even setting up Lime Green's first goal :), and Chwee Leng filling in admirably as a stopper for a good 45 minutes.
