Note From Captain (13/11/09)

Team,

Thanks to everyone for your continual support of the team. We have been getting some good results lately and need to maintain the form. Playing as a team will be the key. We welcome the contribution to our guest players. I am sorry that I can’t play at the moment due to my knee injury. I am expected to be back in full force on 1st Jan 2010.

I need your help on one matter. Financially we want to be self sustaining as a team without having to seek additional donations. Our Team Secretary has informed me that sometimes we do not receive the “playing fees of $10” from all players playing in a given match. Please understand that this $10 playing fee is intended to cover the cost of the field, referee and laundry. We use leftover funds to buy balls, jersey, gloves etc. Going forward we will book more artificial turf for matches as it is better for our “old knees and ankles” and will minimize the inconvenience of match cancellation due to rain.

I respectfully ask that all players, including guest players, pay up $10 promptly on match day to either Chee Tong (Secretary) or Wan (Manager). If you felt that you prefer to sponsor your guest player that you invited, you should still pay your guest’s “playing fees”. Thanks for your support and understanding on this matter.

We are due for another social get together which we will announce once it is firm.

God Bless,
Richard Wong
