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

Alpha Game - Meriden JC (18/10/09)

Loss one goal by first half.

Great came back in second half by leading two goals till the last 10 minutes where opponent succeeded in breaking up the defence during one counter attack and equalised it.

Great discovery from the game - Kenny has been performed very well as a Last Man/Stopper during the second half. Fast, full of stamina and quick reaction.

Players attended the game - Adrian, Casey, Chin Sing, Edmond, Grant, James, Jimmy, Kenny, Michale, Siew, Spencer, Wan.

Guest - Alex, Mun etc.

Scorer - Mun, Malay guest player.

Alpha Game - Orchid Park Sec (04/10/09)

Guys.....we had done well for this game. After 9 months without a win, we finally rewarded with our first WIN of the year over this Mid-Autumn celebration weekend.

This game created two records for us - our first player - Adrian who got a hatrick during the game and also our highest scoring game so far.

We scored the first goal during the first five minutes through Adrian but opponent equalised it in the last moment of the first half.

We did very well in the initial stage of the second half with Adrian scoring another two and James adding anohter one through long range shoot. At 4:1, we were looking good to finish the game with flying colours. Perhaps can thrash the opponent by bigger margin.

Dramatically, after last man Richard subsititued out and keeper Jimmy swaped with Chee Toong to play upfront, opponent suddenly became a different team which kept on pressurizing our defence in the last 10 - 15 minutes. They were awarded two penalties which they made one and had numerous opportunities to equalize the game.

But with a miracle performance by third choice keeper Chee Toong, we were saved and hang on to the WIN!!! Luck was on our side.

This game highlighted a few old points for us to revisit - the urgency to develop and look for one more reliable last man, alertness to finish the game consistently till the game end and understand that defence is an important element if we want to sustain to win a game.

It is good to have miracle but but we need to make effort to make it more reliable.

Alpha Game - Temasek Sec (06/09/09)

A fast tempo game on artifical turf with a team filled with a couple of young boys.

Goalless after 90 minutes with both sides had many chances. Dear keeper Edmond once again put up a bravely show and got an head injury in the 85th minutes. Let pray for speedy recovery for him.

Grant had many chances in the first 10 minutes but failed to convert them into goal. Need to polish the finishing better next round.

Anyway, we are back with a DRAW and earned a precious ONE point for ourselves.
