Match #8 (12 Feb 2012): The Wind took out the Venom of Opponent

In any other matches, those two moments of individual brilliance from Teck Chye would have usually grabbed the limelight of this 5-3 win over Venom. But this win was actually masterminded by our resident feng-shui master, i.e. Melvin, who advised just before we kicked off the 2H that we should make use of the wind which was blowing against Venom. True enough, we scored two wind-assisted goals - Simon, from his trademark long range free-kick just after the centre line that swerved cruelly for Venom's custodian to deal with. Then the master himself swinged in a corner that seemed to hang eternally in mid air before it suddenly dropped just under the bar, again embarassing their keeper. Our master's advice clearly overshadowed every other thing.

Teck Chye, scorer of our 2nd and 4th goals, atoned for his countless misses in the last match with this pair of screaming beauties, one from each foot. The younger Tang opened the account for us after Chor Guan nodded the free-kick from Melvin perfectly onto the path of Teck Wah for the latter to deftly place the ball beyond the reach of Venom's keeper.

Venom, to their credit, kept pressing us and reducing the deficit to eventually equalise at 3-3. They thought they had the match in their hands but too bad, they don't believe in feng shui. And we have a practitioner in disguise, and a non-Chinese one. Full moon next, how should we play?
