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.
Players attended the game : Adrian, Casey, Chee Toong, Chin Seng, James, Jimmy, Kevin, Lim Yong, Nakata, Richard, Siew, Spencer, Wan.
Scorer : Adrian - 3, James - 1.

I got caught in several 50:50 challenges and came out hurt at my right ankle in the 1st half and then my right knee in the 2nd half.
It wasn't a miracle that we won. We gave away soft goals yesterday.
TEAM, lets continue to build to momentum going forward.
Adrian - great hatrick!!!
Chee Toong - some great save in the last 10 minutes!
Hey guys..what a win ya..!!!At last..Congrats to Adrian too.Keep going On....
Congrats guys. We played well that day. Can see improvement in our passing and teamwork. Both our goal keeper jimmy & chee tong are more confident with the ball now. Not forgetting some very good saves from them. Thanks guys. Nothing very much from me... It's all to the credit of the team. I must say the delivery from spencer was superb. I did what every striker ought to do. That is not to miss the pass and drive it towards goal.
Apart from this, there is still room for improvement. We need to stay focus and last the whole game. The last 10mins was all the opponent show. I believe we can work on that.
Keep up the good work guys.
We shall win more games!!!
