Match #12 (24 Mar 2013): Fantastic Against FC Fantansista

For the first 3 matches in March before today's match, we scored 6 goals. In today's match, we tripled it. Yes, you didn't read wrongly. We whacked in 18 goals and in the process, overwhelmed FC Fantansista 18 - 1. Not that Fantansista were a walkover team. Comprising young fellas from 19 to mid-20s, they are fairly organised and kitted out in some fearsome combination of colours. Being young men they are, not surprising that they are full of energy but they must be wondering what they were up to after the match.

Teck Chye (4), hat-tricks from Teck Wah and Gan, braces from Kama, Mike and Kian Hwa, and Chor Guan and Kok Hock contributed 1 each - these completed the rout of Fantansista.

At the break, we were already 10-0 up but we didn't let our foot off the pedal in the 2nd half. Fantansista, to their credit and enthusiasm, came back stronger at us. They played with a bit more urgency and had a couple of goal-scoring opportunities thwarted by Brandon before a needless penalty conceded by us gifted them a consolation goal.

Highlight of the match? Their playmaker kept urging his players on with gusto "C'mon, guys! Run faster and chase....they are OLDER than us, you know?" Yes, another situation of at least half their team being not even half our age :)
