Alpha Game - Bedok North Sec (08/03/09)

A very high tempo game that saw us lost by 2 goals margin. Opponent is another young Malay boys team with better skill and also physically stronger.

We were down by two goals at first half but were able to hold them to a 1 : 1 draw for second half through Adrian's goal.

This game provides us an opportunity to learn how to play under adversity. Opponent is definitely 3 - 4 par above us in terms of skills, stamina etc but with the right tactic and strong team work, we still stand a chance of drawing or even winning the game.

In game, only result count, the challenge and fun is to find the right formula of achieving the desirous result. Generally when opponent is too strong, we can go for cohesive defence and counter attack.

We need to grow and learn as a team in adapting to play against different level of opponent, be it superior or same par to us.

Overall, it is fun and challenging to play competitvely against a good, strong opponent and lossing with a respectable scoreline 1 - 3.

Keeper Edmond was definitely the busiest man on the field but he was coping with the pressure well. Yang Bin re-joining for game after months of break.

Players attended the game - Adrian, Casey, Chee Toong, Chin Sing, Clement, Colin, Edmond, Grant, Jimmy, Kelvin, Lim Yong, Richard, Siew, Spencer, Wan, Yang Bin.

Scorer - Adrian
