Following the 2 glorious big wins.... we matched oourselves against one of our old adversaries...WeiXiong's team which we have identified Wei Xiong to be an extremely threatening player... Trying our best to sign him over and he would make a critical signing to us....

Started the match strong as usual.... Zong Hui opened the account with a typical finishing of his..... But sadly weixiong killed the lead with a deadly vicious shot that surged fast and strong pass asen.... And we went into the half 1-1.... second half started and it was weixiong who put another balll pass with an excellent first touch that bazooka-ed pass asen....True class.... But our class came on when Kejang scored one and rixian doing the typical striker instinct by rolling the ball into the net.... Holding the scoreline at 3-2 we ended the game in true fashion....

Subsequently we went on to take on a groupies of big sized malay...however zonghui broke the deadlock with a clinical finish but before long opponent to equalise and shoortly after took the lead.... They went 4-1 up and there is nothing we can do with tired legs and punctured body but to battered on with the intensity of the game we managed another goal via a crner converted header by zonghui....

Tomorrows game at Yusof Ishak hopefully we get some good results following last weeks defeat....

Dear Friends i am not sure how to load the Excel format up... so i split it into two Picture... U all Click on it to see it?? Thanks....










Match NO: 35

Our Arrival at the Pitch was a let down when we see what kind of pitch we will be playing on. A pitch about the size of a street Soccer Court.. All of us got low on Morale... However it didn't dampen our rampant mood when the match kicked off with Chai Blitzing in the first goal with a thunderous left foot.

Unfortunately, Opponent equalise shortly later But Chai brought us back 2-1 again before Zong Hui when on a rout to score 3 goals.... With Willip assisting the first one and the other 2 goals i more or less forgot. The important thing is the welcoming sight of seeing Zhen qing and Ah seng back to the team as they both added much required dynamo to the game. Dog fighter Nigel played in the DM role as he terrorise the opponents with his malicious play....Ah fat and Zhen Quan had a very good game with Daniel at left back and Tian Jun at Right Back....

Lewis together with Rixian Marshalled the midfield with the help of twelve and Jumain controlled the midfield tightly and gave opponents a difficult time.... Xianxi on the other hand had a few good chances but sadly was not able to convert it....

Zhen qing and Zong hui's introduction led to the slaugthering of the opponents while Twelve scored with a Tonjoe that lobbed the keeper and Rixian Capped off the fantastic Day with a free kick ...

My Apologies to write the report so late.... Quite busy with work..Anyway All Played well for the past two weeks but the opponents are too weak for us to gauge ourselves...Hopefully tomorro or rather later we will be playing on a very huge pitch... lets hope we have a great game there....

A Sparkling Comeback from te Blue Warriors

Following Last week's Forgettable Defeat at the hands of some unknown malay counterparts to a dampening XX-1 defeat... We gave ourselves a 2 week break to re-organise the team and take a little break....

We came back and gathered at mini-o Clementi woods with a few new faces. Adding some steel to the team came in the shape of Willip an elegant centre midfielder, Ivan a powerful and domineering Centreback, Nigel Wild Bulldog play that is out to break legs.... And of course new addition Jarel a poaching striker.

Along with Oldies Daniel zhenquan and myself with Asen mustering the defence. Twelve on the right flank and chai on the opposite flank, Rixian and lewis with Willip filling in the hole behind Ke Jang.. Tian Jun came on as a substitute in the second half....

Field was bumpy and nothing interesting about the pitch but what was interesting is the amount of power we infused into the match. Ivan was showing what he was made of with hard tackling and precise long ball which led to the first goal scored by Rixian. 2nd goal came through a fine header by rixian .... As he raced to get his 3rd goal....An un expected right back came racing on to a through pass so well threaded by lewis that he cannot resist the temptation latched on to the ball round the keeper and put it nicely into the net. 4th goal came through a thumping header by nigel and the 5th one in the second half in which Rixian completed his Hat Trick.... Willip was strutting his stuff and before he knew it he had earned the team a penalty and Daniel stepped up to take the penalty only to miss it and Jarel was there to poach on the ball and made the scoreline 6-0. Zhenquan scored his first goal when Ivan was tripped by the keeper and Zhenquan converted from the spot with a nicely placed goal. The match turned fiery as the players strive to not win the game but break some legs.

But inspirational Chai was domineering the midfield with his robust play that non of them could stop him as he evaded attacks over attacks unleash on him. Gave the opposition a Sucker punch with an Icing on the cake when he smashed the 8th goal and that was the best taunt you can ever give your opponent.

It was a great match and the new and old players enjoy themselves... its great to be back in shape but whether we can carry the form through out.... ??

W will only get to see it during our weekend match at Marsiling.... See you guys there....Tk Care in the mean time

Match Report For the Westwood, Marsiling and Fuhua

Been a while since i last updated the post and i think i perpetually forgotten who scored for our 4-1 match in WestWood... Need to check with the lads again...

For the marsiling match with Ah seng team i vividly remembered that it is a fiery clash as they kept provoking us and making silly remarks which makes us very perturbed....However for that match Lewis as usual scored against their team.... putting us 1-0 up... Ah Fat and Zhen Quan defended hard and Daniel our birthday boy lash across the left flank as the attacking minded left back. Chai with jumain and lewis providing most of the creative play on the smooth artificial grass with Taran engineering the attacks as we held on to ball possession with great passing... However we went into screen saver mode in second half and allowed Seng team to equalise when we went out of position and we are soon found to be in a situation we are chasing for the win...

A few bad referee decision and we were not able to score the winning goal and a combination of taran with Chai put us 2-1 up only to be smacked downn when referee disallowed the goal....

Close to the end of the game.... Yours truly spotted a backrolling balll and decides to give it a hard smack and to my surprise it spun off the keepers hands and when nicely into the net and there is no argument about that...2-1...what a win...

Just last week. A huge disappointment and letdown by some of the mates who did a no show to the team and for those who turned up.... it was a losing battle on numbers at the start.... 9 against 11 and it was a bad mental state to start the match,,,, Opponent wasn't that strong as they fielded a non threatening striker and we kept him at bay but the opponents took the lead first as they continued to joke and played with much complacency,,,, But we showed them our stuff with a beauty strike from Rixian.... an equaliser and no long later... a fre kick at the tip of the penalty box and a wonder strike from taran send us into estacy but sadly that goal was disqualified and before we know it... we were too tired and there was nothing we can do with just 11 man as we were exhausted.... match ended with us being thumped 4-1....

Toorrow we will play at fuchun secondary... lets look forward to some good results...

After a Long Layoff Break...We are back...

Finally after a series of rainy period and some unforeseen circumstance and some unknown reasons we have rested and have had enough of rest and lots of mid-week games we are back to the pitch again back...Just some weeks ago we had a match with Zhenquan's friend and that match ended off 1-1 with Rixian scoring the only goal from the free kick position...

After 2 weeks of break we are back again.....Joining us this week is Ah seng filling in the left wing position... With only exactly 11 man... We have to put on a strong front against the young and energetic malay youngsters... With their left and right flank constantly terrorising us with their penetration we managed to control the defence with asen playing a fantastic game while ah fat and zhenquan putting in top class performance in the central role...Chai deputising as the left back with Rixian and kejang filling the centre midfield role... Taran as usual our Right Wing Commander... With Xianxi upfront only to have Zonghui joining him after 30 mins...

Xianxi broke the deadlock first with a powerful header from rixian's corner which send us leading... before we go into second half... Ah seng received a Taran surging through ball to bring the ball into the penalty box to put us into a 2 goal cushion goal lead....

With some poor referee decision and an obvious bias of the referee to the opposition team and some unsportsmanship play from the opponent we are unable to pull ourselves from the 2 goal lead... Opponents start to go rough on our players.... Before you know it their almighty right winger unleashed a goal that rocketed pass asen's hand into the net almost ripping it apart.... The second goal which is a repeated version of the first goal came in 10 minutes later at the same spot and same leg and same person.... they somehow manage to push themselves up to 2-2...sadly we are exhausted from the tiresome play and cannot pull ourselves back but have to say that we did play a good game and have had a wonderful return game.....

Just for an additional info we have changed the referee management and compared to our ex referee management our new referee choices and opponents will be more and there will be additional locations with new different opponents and of course better referees... We are back with a bang...

30 August 09 Match At Fuhua Revival Of WE11

After the Nightmarish Trouncing by a lowly 10 men team 2 weeks ago and after a week of soccer cancelled due to the rain, Whining Eleven resume their service at Fu hua again this time round against a chinese team who brought along their...hmm wifes/girlfriends who turn out to be quite an eye candy for us... Probably their biggest mistake in life...Pretty Girls, recovering from our howler defeat, inspired by Man U and a smooth pitch.. Only set back is that more than half of our team are suffering from Hangover due to the soccer marathon bulk of them have prior to today's match...

A good number of guys turning up ...Zhen Quan and Jin whom we are glad to see back in action....Daniel slotted into Left Back for the in-form Tian Jun who has bagged a couple of goals in our past few street soccer stints...

Chai Jumain Rixian and Taran packed the midfield while ZongHui and Ke Jang speared the attack forward. The opponents were a class lower from start not having to pose any threat to us throughout the whole time onlyto be saved the embarassment by some poor refereeing decisions....

1st goal game through a good pass from Ke Jang to have Zong hui latch on and place it sweetly into the net....2nd goal from zonghui was a sick skill from zonghui who put the ball side of goalie round him...takes the ball...Empty net....GK stunned...Chai was at his normal best lashing out at the ball and the referee...Taran on the other hand did some good work on the right found himself in a 1 on 1 position only to have his left legged shot go wide..2nd half saw Tianjun ah fat and Xianxi coming on for Rixian, Simon and Jin....Ah Fat showed what a boss he is at defence by pushing everybody around....Their goal only came when Asen failed to parry a freekick away safely due to it skidding pass his grasp and into the net....

However, Chai Answered to their Goal by slamming a knocker goal into the net from the right side... he is just everywhere....Xianxi Got onto the scoresheet as the 4th goal scorer and became the fifth goal scorer by doing a magical step turn shoot and...Gooooaaallll..... Somehow opponent manage to squeeze another goal through freekick when asen did not put the ball away convincingly only to allow the opponents to head into an open net....

Just before the final whistle....Zonghui somehow or another slammed in another goal to bag his THIRD Hat trick in his illustrious career here.... A talismanic striker.... supported by a strong team of galaticos.... I hope everyone has tide pass the down moment of last week's trouncing to become stronger.... Nonetheless Kudos to all the other players who played today... Asen, Tian Jun, Daniel, Ah fat, zhen quan , Jin, Jumain, Rixian, Taran, Ke jang, Chai, Xian Xi Have a good rest everyone... see u next week....

Match 26: Fizzy Economic Match

Finally, the arrival of the highly anticipated return to home ground Fu hua Secondary School.

However what greeted our eyes when Rixian and i reach the pitch wasn't pleasing... First we barely had 9 players in total and the opponents are a pack of Army regulars with promising ability and body structure. Their aura of threat seep into our body and into our minds as we muster ourselves for a difficult match and probably a possible defeat.

With the shortage of another 2 more players we tried to keep the match from commencing and the arrival of tian jun and zonghui was a heave a sigh of relief.

Match kicked off and it only took us 5-10 mins for ke jang to bring the ball in... Dance around... flick around... And he put us 1 goal in advantage with a nicely taken finish...

2nd goal came through Zonghui.... Who is on a dying mission to overtake chai to top the Golden Boot award..... Fires the ball from range... the ball was smothered by the keeper but somehow slipped past his hand and rolled into the net to put the blues 2-0 up....

Opponents seeing that they were far apart from us in terms of standard started deploying their fizzy and fazzy brothers to smear our football with their dirty play... Asen and the defence barely had anything to do with their attacking nothing much of a threat. Defence marshalled by Rixian in the start was stable and rock solid..... After being replaced with Jin it continued holding the forte with Zhen quan and the reliable tian jun at left back playing one of his better games by keeping the opponents at bay.

Midfield pack of Jumain and Lewis and chai kept the opponents guessing with their precise passing and the Ke Jang running the opponents defence to tatters with the front pack of Xianxi and zonghui whu put us 3-0 up... A class finishing as he race to hit his total goal tally of 19...Half time substitution saw 12 coming in to take up the right position....

A lapse of defence in second half and some poor referee-ing decision allowed the opponent to convert a spotkick....

At this point fizzy diouf has went into a rage as he go around playing foul and acting like the typical spoilt brat cum diouf wannabe with lousy tackles...poor skills and pouty lips.... Glad that i gave him a good one from the back on purpose but suffered some light injuries myself.... The sight of him crumbling in pain is anytime better than scoring a goal...

Lewis continued his prolific goal scoring capabilities by converting a wayward shot from chai... putting the team 4-1 up... As fizzy diouf continued to create some ruckus in the pitch with crazy tackles and refree spitting incidents... We maintained our posture and attitude...

It didn't affect any of the whining eleven members nor did it even bother us as Mr Zonghui brought his goal tally to 19 with a left foot shot from distance and our scoreline to 5-1....

Match 26 Review

I will like to hear more about the clashes with Fizzy Diouf. Can the match review be faster?

Match 23 Match 24 Match 25

After a Hectic few weeks... Finally i found some time to do some match reporting and updates.

Videos and Photos will be up soon but its too lag and therefore...

Then again...

Some weeks ago our team met with a downturn in luck and much of our matches didn't turn out to be satisfactory performance.

Some say its the jersey while some say its the morale and some say its this and that... But nonetheless what said is not an importance... the important thing is the team being able to pick ourselves up from the debris that we left off with and stage a spectacular performance in the subsequent match...

The turning point of the team comes when we met with Xianxi's friends team... Charlie's team and that was a point where trouble came in with much of our players down with injury...

Fronting the match with only 10 players on both team... it was actually us who are able to find the momentum faster than the opposition...but we are only able to shift our gears up to gear 2.... whereas opponents are already playing the footsie at a higher tempo....And soon both are giving the opposition teams a run for their money....

Ah fat and Zhen Quan mustered the defence while Rixian , Chai and aman rotated the role of Anchoring the midfield....Taran as usual dominated his spot on the right... but it was the opponent who took the lead....

However, A goal worthy of a goal of the season unleash from Chai put us level with the opponent.... A glorius strike from the heart of midfield that tuck superbly into the tight corner of the post...

IT was in the second half that with fatigue and heavy legs settling in... we start to lose our concentration.. A thunderous shot from outside penalty box and a well placed shot put the opponents 3-1 against us... A dip in form as we perceive this game to be... but with some reflection and thinkings... we decided that we need to improve...

The following week... upon reaching the pitch... we were greeted by a friendly sight of our ex team members in which a few of our players had a free transfer over...

An experienced veteran but yet very little stamina but are actually a bunch of hard hitting guys... However, it was the whinners who rain countless attacks on them and they were clueless for a while what hit them... But were kept at bay with the antics of their keeper....

A free kick from outside the penalty box slipped through the defence and beyond the reach of asen put the veteran guys at a 1-0 lead...

However it was cheeky shot from Lewis who did a backheel into the net who equalled the score... The play was tough and the going gets high but the defence held the forte with ah fat and Zhen Quan .... While the midfield partnership of Chai, Ke jang, Lewis , Rixian ,Ke jang, Taran and Twelve...Zonghui was a constant threat and would have gotten a few goals if not for his injury...

Middle of nowhere of the second half... Taran was released to go 1 on 1 with the keeper... However, for some peculiar reasons... the shot didn't got in and was squared to xianxi.... And Xianxi gladly returned the favour to put us 2-1 up....

Match 25 was a testament of a rejuvenated Whining Eleven when a healthy group of folks turn up very early for a pre-match warm up... It was a positive sign to see the guys so eagerly reaching the pitch for some pre-match warmup...

Our opponents turn out to be some pretty strong group of malays....

It only took 5 mins for Zonghui to latch onto a long ball and snitch the first goal with a typical and elegantly taken finish. However some defence lapse allowed the opponent to equalise and not long after that they took a long distance shot which took a horrid dip and brought the score to 2-1.... Down 2-1...We push ourselves to get the equaliser and it was once again zonghui whu terrorised the defence with the help of the midfield contigent of jumain, lewis , twelve , rixian and kejang to slip a nicley placed ball to xianxi for him to poach on the on rushing ball and we are equalled.

Went into 2nd half... with a strong heart and strong desire to come out the winners...However it was difficult for us to get back the ball for awhile as we struggled with some simple clearnace of the ball within the defence line... Our lapse of concentration resulted in a shot from the opponents to glide through the defence and into the net... we were 3-2 down with some 10-15 mins left...

Jumain...got the ball... At his normal self calm composed....effortlessly send the ball rolling into zonghui's path and zonghui took no second calling to put the ball high up into the net and put us level with the opponents....

A few decent attempt from Ke jang whu struck the post and zong hui who send the ball too high up...But took his last chance at goal that started from a counter attack and he calmly finished the opponent with a well taken shot...4-3...

It didn't take the referee long to call a halt to this breath taking game....As the pleasing sound of the final whistle rung in our ears...

A match we will not forget and a match that tells the world to start worrying... The whining eleven are back...

Match 21 and 22 Review

I think there was a jam-stop in the middle of the season.

Manager/Co-ordinator was away for a week so there was no updating in the report and the scorers.

However, following the humbling silencing by the Enthusiastic Young Lions, we decided there are lots of improvement to be made ofr our team, but that aside we have come quite a fair bit and shown that we may not be the best team but we are a young team with aspiration to go into something better.

Our opponent for Match 21 were a groupies of Melayus who are funky and funny wannabes who don't look very interested. True, it only takes us a short while to go up against them. Seriously.... i have forgotten who scored the goals but somehow i remembered that zonghui should have scored at least 1 goal and chai another goal... so lets just give it to the 2 of them having scored 1 goal each... if u remember who score let me know....

Our next match was the match with the familiar black and white team with the inspirational captain number 17... They manage to take the lead with a soft goal that slipped through us despite the good defending of Jin and Zhen Quan but we are unable to allow the goal to slip through.... We played pretty well with getting more passess and getting smoother with our attacking options.... Until we had a wayward ball that landed on Rixian's feet in which he did a Xabi Alonso to wham the ball in, the ball landed up on Taran's feet to put us 1-1...

A few desperate attempts for them to keep us at our bay as we aim to seek for our 2nd goal.... However the match ended off in 1-1 our first draw in Fu hua secondary school.

Don't be disheartened dudes, we can improve.... we are not missing our key players... in our team we don't have any key players every player is important and everyone plays a significant role in the team...

Next week guys at Fu hua secondary... we will try again to improve the fluency of our game and improve ourselves..

Match 19 and Match 20: Blues in the Eleven

Following the receiving of our Jerseys and taking on stronger opponents these days, we suffered 2 blowing mishaps in the next two games.

Our 19 match saw us strutting our stuff with my ex-colleague Allister who came with a team of youthful people who is super enthu and seemingly endless amount of energy. However, it was a good Free Kick From Rixian who send it over to Taran who connected with it and coverted it with perfect execution.

Chai went on to put us 2-0 up. However, there were some confusion at the back allowing the opponents to put 2 past us to be at 2-2. However, a Zong Hui Converted penalty and A exquisite strike from Zhen Qing send us 4-2 up and Zong Hui Added one in the end but was met by the equally competitive group of youngsters who did not stop attempting to attack and manage to pull themselves to a 1 goal deficit before they capitalise on our mistake to put themselves level.

Match 20 was a complete display of overrun from a very strong group of players who are rumoured to be playing professional soccer. They took the lead easily within the first 10 mins and extended their lead with a powerful header. But chai brought us back with a wonderstrike from the left and one leading on to a rixian free kick taran latch combo to equalise 2-2.

However, the opponents decided to put their strongest players and they started scoring freely with powerful headers and rocket shots before long we found ousrselves having to chase a 5 goal deficit. Down 7-2, the players are also all jaded due to the intense physical demand to play in such situations and extreme heat and all of us crumbling to the fatigue. Before the game ended, we stamped our mental resilience by reducing with a beauty strike from jumain. However, all was lost cause as we found ourselves overwhelmed by their simple and effective total football.

Its okay to face such strong opponents and get wallop. It tells where we stand and shows us how actually we show ply our trade. Please do not feel demoralise as the only way to improve is to get defeated and in the midst we grow up and learn.

Lets all hope for a good match next week.

Your Co-ordinator.
Simon

Match 19 - Refugees 5 - 5 Whining Eleven @ Boon Lay Sec

7-Eleven

Match 18: 31/05/09 @ FuHua Sec

Finally we manage to don our new jersey and with a new jersey we have a new tactic this time round playing a 4-3-3 tactic.

Being Still unfamiliar with the new tactic we struggled to understand how it is being played but with the capabilities of our players they are more than competent to fit into any tactic. However, we allowed them to put 1 into our net. Our defence of Ah Fat, Zhen Quan, Tian Jun, daniel and Jin have proved to stand out in the occassion when needed.

Ta ren rixian and jumain lead the pack in attack and ke jang with zong hui and zhen qing probe their defence with their tireless run. However this game was marred with un-gentlemanly tackles from opposing team that cause a few injuries within our team. However we stood our front and kept our cool to play our own game.

In the second half, zong hui was tripped inside the penalty and he converted cooly from the spot. Chai came on later in the second half and showed what he can do but was unable to put us up with a few attempts on goal but fail to find net...

It wasn't long when Ke Jang found himself dribbling down the flanks and doing some of his trademark flip here flip there and manage to get pass the keeper and lobbed the keeper to put us 2-1 up.

Another sensational come back for the whinners again...

However like a few pointers pointed out by our players..... We need to accustom ourselves with the new tactic and our play recently have turned stagnant.. we need to up our game a bit...

Probably we might want to arrive at the pitch a little bit early for more warm ups and a few rounds of Monkey before we start... at least we can gain more composure on the ball...

See you guys... in a few hours time...:)

regards,
simon

Match 17: Match At Tanglin Secondary

Hoola... Our 2nd Defeat since our establishments in 28/12/08.

Anyway when we reach the pitch there was no sight of the opponent but did they give us a difficult time when they were here... Their players all blistering with energy and quite flair but it was not the best of day for the Whining eleven.

Our resistance was short lived when they bursted pass us and placed a short from afar beyond the grasp of our keeper. Before we know it we allowed another of their goals to slip in... Somehow we are conceding some very soft goals.... But nobody is at fault... But we do have very strong team spirit in coming back...

This is another of our colourful display of a spectaular comeback starting from Zonghui Converting from the spot.... And our equalising goal came from a Xianxi who broke his duck finally scoring from point blank range to bring us level... But sadly we allowed a goal from the opponent to creep in and another one again before Taran ended the match with a beautifully executed goal which saw him juggle the ball leftand right and slamming it home.

It may be our 2nd defeat but true that we have shown some cracks at the back but not to worry as an inexperienced team we have done very well to win some matches...however we will need to try to improve ourselves to take on stronger teams but in the meantime lets just enjoy the fruits of our labour so far.... Lets hope for a better performance soon...

Guys have a good rest and lets hope for a better performance soon....

Match 16: Westwood Secondary

Following the Rain that eventually caused the game to be cancel last week... we went into our matches quite excited at the thought of getting our new jerseys but the manager has dissappointed once again because he is not able to yet provide the new jerseys yet...

However, the gaffer will promise the lads the new T's come next week... means Match 17 as we have to do a bit of final decision on our jersey names and some final administrative matters. However i promise you next week you will get to don the jersey.

Finalise on our name as the Whining Eleven on our logo on our chest and then Vonda in front and behind our own name with the number. Too many inputs from everywhere haha...

Anyway match report for Match 16... Another domineering game for us the whiners who started the game with a healthy quality players on the bench... Which is good for a team that wants to go far... we have to give and take... As our team grow, we need more players for a good rotation in our teams so we have to accomodate that... But please dun get the wrong idea that if u are in the bench u are not good... Everyone in the team is equal...

The 1st half was all about our constant threat and attack on them wave after wave....Ke Jang had a glorious opportunity at goal but was denied by the post and shots from chai mysteriously wobbled off the goal post. We could have easily went 5-6 goals up in first half. Everyone was just excellent. Defence was solid and was barely a threat to us and attack was tireless in their attack. Midfield of jumain and lewis has played alongside each other for over 10 matches and has come to know each other's play style inside out. Ta ren posed a constant threat with his dominating figure and accurate crossess into the penalty box....

We proved ourselves as the kings of second half... This time round again with a great cross in from Zong hui on the left was met by jumain to put the ball into the net.... Putting us 1-0 up.... Towards the end... Xian xi brought the ball in and took on a few defenders whom he slotted the ball to twelve and twelve gave a hell of a thunderbolt to the ball that rocketed into the net that was a sheer classical beauty....

What a goal to end the game and the opponents barely threatened the defence to a point they are falling asleep at the back...

Anyway good game guys we should be getting our jerseys real soon be patient in the mean time think of the names you want to put in....We should be consolidating the names and next week i will get it sorted out... Thanks fellas...

have a good rest and look forward to our game at Tanglin Sec this weekend at 9am.. WE WILL STILL BE WEARING RED this week...

Match 15 + Weekly Update

First i must apologise on a few things to my dearest team mates.

1st: Sorry about the delay of the jersey i am really busy with work. I havent had time to really go down to City Plaza to see yet.. I have went once but the shop was close. My deepest apologies.

2nd: My Apologies for the delay in the report for last week... Again i was tied up with work therefore i couldn't find any time to write...

3rd: The cancellation of the game. The whole situation sparked off with the referee notifying me of the cancellation of the game around 8am. So i message everyone the cancellation of the game. For knowledge sake, the pitch is under the jurisdiction of Singapore sports council, so referee has no final say whether we can play a not. Singapore Sports Council get the deciding say in whether we get to play a not.

However, opponent who happens to be Xian xi fren is on their way so somehow or another it wouldnt be nice to just not play the game... so we tried to shift it to 11am. However, feedback from opponent team is that their players like about 4-5 of them cannot play the 11am game therefore they also suggested we adjourn the game to another day. So the cancellation of the game is based on a consensual agreement between the two teams. Therefore we decided to totally cancel the game and as fate has made a decision, it started to pour heavily again justifying the fact that the game is destined not to happen.

Then again we deserve a good rest as we have had came off with a string of glorious victory following a humbling by the indian team.

Last week was a testimony of the team's surge to supremacy when facing a new chinese team with a strength of 11 players only. Without any substitute, we had to toil our lives to accomodate to the streaking sun with our opponents being youngsters with super human stamina.

We opened up our account when a cross from simon on the left was met by an on rushing lewis who was played on-side by an offside zhenqing calmly slotted the ball pass the keeper.

However it was a minor mix-up and lack of verbal communication that allow the opponents to slam a beauty in from 20 metres out.

However, it was into second half when the Whinning Eleven start their rampage starting from Zhenqing converting an elegantly taken corner kick by rixian and smashing the ball into the net. A good goal from our spirited soldier.

The Third Goal was a Classic Goal of the season combination from our in-form midfielder Lewis combining with Zonghui with a string of One-Twos before lewis thread the ball into the path of zonghui for him to place the ball straight into an open post. There was no stopping for the Duo Of lewis and Zonghui who in a day of shortfall of players to come out and shine for the team. Not to mention the hardworking Chai and rixian providing us with the width in attack. And the composure from Jumain in the heart of the midfield.

A few good one on one saves from Asen and the defence of Tianjun, Zhenquan , Jin and Simon was seldom threatened... The final piece of the jigsaw was the gutless Zhenqing running the opponent defence into tatters.

A team of just 11 players... they finished the game in dignified manner maintaining their rampant streak with a score of 4-1 up when Zonghui latched onto a thunder Bolt that was whipped in by chai on the left ...

It was a good day out on a day that we would have expected a muddy pitch due to the rain. However, the team is currently in such a good shape they can barely not go into a game without full confidence. Kudos to everyone who has put in everything for the team... Thank you to everyone who has shown great support to the team and passion to the club. Everyone is a precious asset to the team, and nobody stands in precedence to anyone else. And the stand of the team motto remains.. we are all out to enjoy football once every week therefore... therefore we will not have any ugly spats or tussle or any finger pointing at anybody. We want everyone to play in the shirts of whinning eleven to be a happy player. So it is very important that we understand this... We can only whine about things... thats all.

No we will not be disband anytime soon... It will never be...It will only continue to prosper... for now... i will go see the jerseys soon and i will update you guys on the status of the jerseys... My apologies i know it has been delayed for awhile but work has suddenly mounted a lot on me so i have to take one step back to focus on work for awhile.

Will be updating the scorers and funds soon. Thanks.

Match 14 + Weekly Report

Okay after 14 mattches into the game... there are a few things that have revolutionalised witthhin the whinning eleven....

1. We scored a total of 49 goals (Inclusive of this week 's goal)
2. We lost 3 balls in 14 matches.
3. There has been 2 hat tricks happened already.
4. We had tussles with 3 teams already.
5. We havent bought our jerseys yet haha....

Okay fair enough we will scout for the jersey next week okay??

Anyway this week again at Fuhua sec with 13 players all in all. Opponents are the first team that we played and their team probably played with us like 3-4 times?? Yah thats that much.

Anyway their keeper was pretty good but the breaklock was broken from a glorious shot from ke jang juggle once twice and wham... a beauty.... Way beyond the keeper could have received it.

2nd goal came through a nicely taken cross from Ta ren from the side that was met by lewis's chest which he diverted the ball nicely past the keeper to put us 2-0.

But the match wasnt a smooth one for there were a few idiots that could not take chai's supremacy on the pitch..... a couple of old man yet so childish and to mark chai is not a very good thing to do as one childish jabrony uncle realised so when he tried to track chai only to be smashed by chai's thunderous cross right in the face.

Ke jang sadly failed to put us further up by missing a penaty that was not his fault but rather a good save from the keeper.

Chai capitalised on a mistake from their defence by smashing the ball rocket speed into the net.

Unfortunately, lapses from the defence allowed them to score 2 goals however, it is sad that the defence was doing good but it was a sudden lapse of concentration allowed them to come back 2 goals...

However, lewis managed to lay the nail into their coffin by latching onto a nicely crafted pass by jumain splitting the defence into complete tatters and lewis finished it cooly...

What way to end the match that has a bunch of idiotic fools from opposing team that completely spoil the game...

Hopefully the next match we can expect to get some more matured opponents.

Match 13 + Weekly Report

After a very busy week doing and buried with work, i am finally home and settled down to write my review of the match that happened last week.

Last week was played in Fu hua secondary which inevitably became our homeground and unwilling to give up our unbeaten streak in Fu hua secondary we start the game with lots of fire and power.

It wasn't long before a well taken cross by Ke Jang was met by Zong hui to finish it off cooly past the keeper.

Our attack rained on our opponents in which they were unable to sustain the constant threat that was coming from Chai zonghui and Ke Jang. Neither can they even penetrate past our midfield of Jumain and the defence mustered by Zhenquan, Daniel and Jin who was playing superbly again.

But it was sad that they had to equalise through a failed clearance.

But it wasn't long before a great cross from Twelve allowed Chai to once again put us 2-1 up.

Zonghui collected a ball on the left and took an outside foot shot to scoop it elegantly past the keeper as we raced full speed to seeking our undefeated home form to i dunno how many...

And lastly, another good play down the fight from twelve to cross the ball in for zonghui to head the ball in to pick the ball home...

It was a stirling performance by the Whinning Eleven whu ram the opponents to tatters before they score another goal and attempt to pick up another fight again.

Chai: 14
Zonghui: 8
ZhenQing: 4
Rixian: 3
Xianxi: 3
James: 2
Twelve: 2
Simon: 2
Lewis: 2
Jumain 2
Jin: 1

Currently we have scored a total of 45 goals in 13 matches... having a ratio of at least 3 goals per match.

It seems that our attack is not a problem.... Defence wise we are not that bad either we conceded about 15 goals throughout our matches and i think we are still okay....

Lets hope we keep up the good work and may we now try to search for our new jersey and very soon we will be going into some tournaments so please keep a watchout....

Match 11 & Match 12 @ Juying Sec and Fuhua Sec Respectively

Going into a decade of matches, we stepped into our first defeat away from our familiar Fuhua Sec. Juying secondary is a place totally out of the vicinity and took us a lot of effort to find our way into the pitch. The opponents are by anything lousy with their organised Team warmup and pro team management look and not forgetting they are all pure indian put us in a difficult mental state to start the game.

Our game started with us feeling the fatigue setting into our bodies, barely anyone of us could put on an extra gear. Defence started with Rixian and Daniel in the middle. Ta ren resumed position on the right with Jumain and Lewis in e middle. Twelve played on the left and Zong hui lead the attack with Chai.

The Whinners went 1-0 down through a corner kick header. And 2-0 after a shot from the opponent struck rixian and sent Ansen to his wrong direction.

2nd Half wasn't by any means any much improvement in luck for us as we struggled to find our feet. It only took them awhile to go 3-0 up through an unexpected lob past asen and it was only through a brillant shot by chai on his left foot volley that went in sweetly.

Zhenqing made it 3-2 through a converted corner kick and we started to find the energy in our body. It seems that zhen qing is able to bring the spirits of the team up with his enthuness, and we began hunting desperately for our 3rd goal to equalise. Sadly, luck wasn't on our side as we failed to have a consecutive unbeaten run of 11 games as tragedy struck our team when opponent finished off the game with a 4-2 victory over the whinning 11.

Like what i always say... We will need a defeat to find that we are not so strong afterall...Yes we may have reached a certain level of depth in team but the whole team cannot stop seeking for improvement as we must always aim to play better.

As it shows, the whinning 11 stormed to a better performance in their following Match 12 at Fuhua Secondary School a place we call our Homeground that we have slammed in 23 goals in 5 matches. a ration of 4 goals per match.

This match though is a familiar view a recent opponent that we have encountered and defeated them. This time round it was deja vu again as we rained our attacks on them neglecting any involvment our defence and our keeper. However the few instances that our Defence was required to muster up a strong front, Jin and Ah fat clearly match any oncoming threat from the opponent. Arguably their strongest player, the number 17 posed a strong threat but Jin totally kept him out of the game and it was through a cannon shot from Rixian that ruptured the goal post send the keeper into flurry and fumbled the ball into the onrushing Zonghui.

We started off the 2nd half with one fluent attack from simon sweeping the ball in cleared out to be received by rixian who chipped the ball over and by some ways or another returning back t rixian, Rixian laid it nicely to jumain who's laser guided pass found Ta ren on the right and Ta ren swiftly rolled the ball nicely into the path of Zonghui who grabbed his second goal of the match putting us 2-0 up.

Opponents clearly pissed off over their consecutive defeats resorted to dirty tackles and unsportsmanship tackles taunting our players, belittling of all our players Chai about him being able to use only his left foot and giving nonsensical tackles to our players. The referee obviously unable to manage the game left the game to flow by itself and minutes into the second half their number 8 a growing resemblance to a wild boar got into a face off with chai. Within minutes, Chai silenced him with a vicious right foot into the net.

The game grew ugly as Number 8 and Ah fat and Daniel had a minor square off which is a testament to their unsportsmanship and their failure to accept that their team depth is of much lower capability then us. However, it has got to be Ta ren to be the most funny comment by calling their poor guy Fat Pig in chinese... Which is quite funny...

Although we clearly are the distinct winners something is lacking from the team which is the aggression and the fire. Somehow or another or was it me i find that we lack a little bit of fire without Zhenqing because he is usually the enthusiastic guy who would shout talk and rant. Our team must maintain our harmony but lets not let down our fire or passion and have more aggression !!

We are good though.... so i think its good time we think about what numbers will we be donning soon as we are propelling into a state we need to get our own jerseys....

See you lads next match.

Match 10 @ Fuhua Secondary 6-0 Trouncing

If by any chance that i mislead you to believe that we are being defeated that is where you are wrong because we are still undefeated. This week we maintained our undefeated spree by lashing out a fierce display of our capabilities.

My apologies for putting in a field report after so long because i am perpetually occupied the whole week.

On a day i celebrated my 26th year birthday, the team strutted their stuff on the pitch poor opponent.

Opponent disappointingly turned up with only barely 9 players clearing showing that they are not interested in which 2 of our players zhen qing and Ta Ren had to be loaned to the opposition.

The Whinning 11 put in their first goal through Zong hui by taking a neat finish with his left leg if i am not wrong. Correct me if i am wrong dude. Clearly the 2 most threatening player are Ta ren and zhen qing on the oppposition. A pretty uneventful 1st Half.

2nd half we had our 2 attached players back into the team which is a clean string of a whole barrage of attacks. Ta ren back on the right flank with probing attack down the flanks .Tian Jun played an exceptionally superb game by dominating the midfield with his precise positioning and complement perfectly with jumain who controls the midfield with his compose play. Rixian came on in the second half to add firepower to the attack. Defence is the regular 4 of Zhenquan daniel jin and simon in front of Ansen. Zhenqing took up centre midfield to help us with the ball winning.

Zhonghui and Chai steered the attack in front with lewis. And the trouncing commenced.

2nd goal came when chai brought the ball into the penalty box did some dribbles and laid the ball for zhenqing to put the ball into the net.

3rd goal was scored by who else.... Our talismanic captain Chai who put it pass the keeper with ease. Rixian took up the fourth goalscorer slot by smashing a bouncing ball into the bottom left of the net.

Jumain popped up to score the 5th goal and finally closing the demolition with a right foot shot outside penalty box for the sixth.

A supreme performance by the whinning eleven.... a great present for the birthday boy and a glorious future for us in this industry haha....

We have been playing great football in terms of team work and understanding. This is down to the understanding we have and the respect we have for each of our players. Unlike the opposition who shouted at their own team mates.... this is something we will not condone. Football is competitive and we all want to win but we have to win as a team. No one is bigger than the team. We can afford to lose our players but we cannot lose the faith the players have for the team. That is harmony within the team will keep the spirit living... Lets all play good football in good harmony.... i think that sounds allright...

See you guys for the next match at Juying sec.

Match 09: 220309 @ Fu Hua Secondary School

Finally back in front of the desk with some available bandwidth to write about our performance just less than 24 hours ago. My apologies for the lack of updating in our blogsite with reports and pictures. i brought my camera down every match but i forgot about taking photos always and at the same time work piled up during this period and coupled with my Bangkok trip recently, it took me awhile to adjust back to management of the team. Well it went smooth as well for my other commrades that has helped me with much of the organising and writing of the report.

Chai aka Sea Monkey for the writing of match updates and our tatical master.

Rixian for also helping me up with match reports and the calling up of players when the team is having a shortage of players.

Lewis for helping us buy the board first but will be reimbursed soon.

Match @ Fu Hua Sec

Following the epic finale that took place last week. We went into an 11am match skeptical of the weather that will torment our stamina. But with the players that were present and the outlook of the opponents. We are quite keen to give them a trouncing.

Some new addition to the team (My apologies if i may have spelt your name wrongly):
Ta Ren
Sa Ren
Keng tong
Nezal

Rixian took a break to put on a different colour of the jersey and provided the sideline tactics as the manager.

Chai as usual with captained the team with his flamboyant performance week-in-week out.

Youngster Ansen is our man between the post.

Zhen Quan and Ah fat paired up to be the heart of defence. Tian jun and simon each on the left and right back position respectively.

Chai slotted in the left and New Signing Ta Ren on the right flank holsted by the stable and calm jumain in the centre with lewis deployed alongside him while Xian xi Ke jang lead the team in attack.

The match started off with some physical challenges from opponent as they prove their point that they are not as bad as we thought they are as they gave us some tough moments. Their number 10 is a whole lump of stone as he constantly attempts to barrage his way through. Number 17 strung most of their passes with his good skills and physical demand. However it was the Red Whinning 11 that started the first flourish of attack that was converted into goal when Xianxi tried to put the ball past the keeper only for the keeper to parry it onto the legs of lewis to put us 1-0 up.

Ta ren was at many times bringing the attack to a different level with his physical approach and his very team orientated play style. Giving the Whinners a few good chance. Ke jang as usual, teasing the opponents making them look foolish when they try but to no avail to win his ball.

Chai trying very hard to win balls and strung the attacks. Defence was robust with the pacy Zhen Quan and the domineering size of Ah fat. Tian Jun was clean in his tackles and clearance also.... Great play from the defence.

Sadly before halftime, our opponents equalised with a stunning shot from outside penalty box 30m out.

We went into the 2nd half with a change in formation with Zhenqing doing the dirty work at the centre of the park combined with lewis. Jumain sat in defence with Zhen quan simon and nezal. Rixian also came on to the pitch to provide us with extra attacking firepower. Rixian's insertion into the team also meant an additional avenue to attack and combined with chai, the two of them switched flanks, long pass, power shots , through passess the opponents into tatters.

The opponents start to lose their composure as we seek for our goal as Xianxi tries very hard to put the ball into the net only to be matched by the keeper's great goalkeeping instincts. The deadlock was broken when the ball was fed back to Zhenqing after a corner kick only for Zhenqing to take the ball and lay it to simon who was waiting for the chance to hit the ball from 40 metres away and took a deadly dip as the goalkeeper failed to touch the ball.

The team then saw a technical break in the midst of the game as the ball floated beyond the pitch and into the construction site.

When the game started again, Ta ren and Sa ren came on into the pitch. Sa Ren between the Posts showed our Junior Keeper Ansen some learning tips on how to be a perfect keeper of composure and calmness.

After some time, it was good-ole-Paul popping out again for the team, who else but Ah Chai took the on bounching ball, brought it pass the opponent and doing his trademark finishing. Clean, sleek and effective. Thats our Chai once again putting in a 5 star display for the team in back to back matches bringing his goal tally to double digits now.

It was another top notch performance by the Whinning 11, We have not tasted defeat yet but i hope that we can constantly play football at our highest level, Chai and Rixian have both been inspirational on and off the pitch assisting me with the administrative work and putting in 5 star performances on the pitch also. Credit must also be given to players like Zhen qing and Jin who travel down from the other part of the country to play for the team. Tian Jun, Zhenquan, Ansen , Jumain , Daniel, Lewis and Xianxi for being always there for the team. Our new players, Kejang, ta ren, Sa Ren for being bale to join us (Forgive me if i may have miss out a few guys). I know there are times where work commitment comes in and you are not able to turn up but its okay.... I have to work at times also so i understand. But i would really like to say thank you to all the players that have been playing so far....you have really made the team happen.

With that, a very great thank you...No this is not the farewell speech. This is just only the beginning of the Whinning 11 (Got any better names?)

Match 08 Review : 150309 @ Tanglin Sec Sch

Hi ppl, i m ur new blog writer Sea Monkey(sounds nicer), helping out our benevolent Bao Kar Liao, Simon this week. We took a week break for Simon's Thailand trip and we are back in business.

1st 11am game for us poses a new challenge to our stamina. Rendezvous timing : 10.30am. Upon arrival at 10.45am, we see poor Twelve sitting alone by himself. No one was there for warm up. Applause for him for his effort. N the rest, please be punctual next time hor.... Early arrival for kicking around will aid u to improve your match performance. Especially if we are playing at 11 am.

We welcomed Ah Fat back to the team after a couple weeks of MIA due to work commitment. Plus Anson, playing a second game for us in goal. Zhen Qing returning and Ke Jang together with 2 friends. (Sorry, forgot your name, Simon pls fill in )

The pitch looks bumpy with lots of potholes and very lengthy. So we decided to play a more packed midfield and to attack from the center instead of the wings. N we definitely look more professional with our newly purchased UMBRO tactics board. However, once the whistle is blown, we were bombarded with ferocious muscling, shoving and tackles from the opponents. For the first 15 mins, we could hardly breathe. The whole midfield was dominated by the Great "No.14 " who vows to kill and tear anyone in his way. It was only until when Zonghui passes a through ball to Chai, and he broke the offside trap to see his shot tip over the bar, then we see signs of a possible match with the opponents.

However, shortly after, the opponents switched their tactics to long ball, and their "Huang Zhong Yao " look alike striker broke our offside trap and shot through a tight angle to put their side 1 nil up. There were signs of bias from the referee as a few more offsides were not caught with them still terrorising our defense.
We had a brilliant chance after which Xianxi's shot was parried away by their keeper and Zonghui's follow up was met by a handball block from the opponents defense. The referee was no where near and as usual, nothing goes our way.

After that, we were getting demoralised min by min. With them breaking offside trap again twice and scoring with ease. Eyebrows were raised once again wondering if the referee is bias. Some started thinking if we shared the same fate as Man u being demolished by Pool 4-1 the night before, and move to our first defeat of the season. The midfielders, Lewis, Rixian, Chai and Twelve worked very hard chasing after brilliant passes by the opponents. Our defence Jin, Ah fatt, Zhenqing and Simon put up a few good defending, otherwise, the scoreline could have been uncountable.

Finally the half time whistle goes, Simon as usual is cheering for the team not to demoralise. Our team needs a defeat to let us learn and show our true character. So far its been a fantasy, with 4 wins and 3 draws. N this is the worst we have suffered. 3 nil at half time. But soon after, everyone gets inspired by Simon and starts to encourage each other to finish of the game with pride.

The 2nd half started. The opponents being a bit complacent, rested a few of their key players. There are signs of more unity for our team, switching back to our best 4-4-2 formation. With ZhenQing and Rixian in the middle. The team started to string a few good passes around and put on more pressure on the opponents. Crosses came in, with Zong hui heading a bottom corner ball to be match by a equally good keeping from the opponent. More ball winning in the center of the field for the team by ZhenQing and Rixian. Yet the incredible "14" still able to muscle his way and put in a few good passes for the opponents.

It was about 65 min when a header from the mid field came to about just outside the box, Chai took a quick tricky outside foot shot and the ball sneaks narrowly into the far left of the keeper
with him standing rooted. Signs of relief from the team, at least we can pull one back.

A good pass from Rixian releases ZhenQing down the right wing and Zhen Qing forces their clumsy defender to bring him down for a penalty. He wanted to take the penalty himself only to be stopped by Chai who believes a player should never take his own earned penalty. In the end, no one else stood up to take and Chai took it reluctantly. A shot right to the center of the goal looks weak, but luckily a deflection through the keeper's legs keep our hopes alive. 3-2!!!!

With morale raising, we took control of the game after. We hit them with waves n waves of attacks. Forcing their no16 to go berserk and got more warnings from the referee. And forcing the opponents to bring their key players back. N the moment arrives, Jin running up from the defence, ( he has scored from a corner before) A corner for our team came in from the left wing, which was headed clear by their defence. But Rixian was at the right spot at the right time, cooly drill a low shot into the bottom corner with everyone else rooted to the ground watching the masterpiece. 3-3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A world class comeback.

The rest of the game was evenly matched. With the opponents missing a world class open goal with our keeper beaten. No 14 was so devestated that he blasted the ball over the fence to end the game. Congrats Whinning 11 for the unbeaten record!!!!!!!

Best regards,

Sea Monkey

Match 07 Review : 010309 @ Fuhua Secondary School

A rainy Saturday night rose a few doubts on whether the match could be played but all was well on sunday when the refree msg us that the match will go on. With a heavy heart of getting all wet and dirty , we departed for our match.

To our surprise it far surpasses our expected outcome as the pitch look squeaky clean following a downpour less than 8 hours ago. Our opponents are in light blue and they look a formidable team to beat. Due to our spate of good form in the last few matches, we don't get startled by our opponents.

This week we saw some new players plying their trade with us. Namely our new goalkeeper Anson...I am not sure of your name brother if i get it wrong please let me know. Our new Centre Midfielder Chris.... And a familiar face from our previous team....Ke Jang or usually people call him Ka Zhua. And a friend of Twelve, big sized forward Kai Hui.

The match started with new signing Anson between the posts. Defence was made up of Simon and an unfamiliar combination of Jumain and Rixian as the vanguard of the defence. Left back was taken up by tian jun. Chris and Lewis in the heart of midfield with chai on the left and right midfield was Taken up by Kejang. Striker was a pairing of Xian xi and Kai hui.

The match started and it was the same old story with Chai opening up the accounts again pushing his goal tally to "I haven't count how many". This time round receving the ball on the left and wham it pass the keeper making it his trademark finishing. Pure Class. Ke jang provided a different dimension to the play when deployed on the right. Dragging opponents to him and releasing the ball to his teammates. Lewis was enjoying his run out on the pitch as he felt much more comfortable with the players around him. Chris is winning the balls in midfield and kejang and Chai feeding him the balls he need. Rixian and Jumain provided the composed and calm security at the backline so much that there was totally no threat from the opponents at all. Xianxi got a few good chance but sadly missing a few sitters. Lewis also... A few good chance but failed to convert it. But its okay we can train on this.

Ke Jang played to his very best opening the play and provided much attacking options for the team.... By far one of the critical player of the day.... but sadly due to an overnight boozing session he was punctured before halftime. Daniel replaced him taking up the role at the back pairing with cool calm jumain. Rixian was sent to the right flank. With the midfield maestro pair of Chai and Rixian leading the attacks on the flanks, the opponents finding hard to pin down either of them. With efforts focus on the two dangerous wingers... lewis pushing the defence to sit back...an unlikely jumain manage to bring the ball high enough but he was friendly enough not to fire it in.

The opponents obviously staring hard at death decided to kill off our right back(simon) by inserting a female left winger into the squad. With her deployment in the squad, Simon was unable to unleash his malicious crunching tackle as it would spell broken legs. He became a bit reserved. However, it seems that she is not as bad as she looks as she managed to release a few "deadly" ball only to be smothered by daniel with ease. Daniel playing better and better with each match neutralize all attacks with a few simple twist and turn exhanging passess with jumain, simon and tian jun making the whole opponent's attack in-existent. It was obviously a good match with lots of passing space and clean passing.

2nd half onwards it became chai's game....Again.... This time round another sheer excellent class from him when he unleash a first time volley to an oncoming ball that rocketed pass the keeper at extreme velocity. opponents could do nothing but clap and be dazzled by such finishing. Rixian, Lewis and chai pulled all the strings in midfield and Chris winning virtually everything. Even if anything goes beyond midfield....Jumain and Daniel would just kill off any possible chance they might have. However, 1 such counter attack allowed them to pull one back when emile heskey brush daniel aside to score 1 for them. Anson could do nothing although credit to be given to him for being decisive enough to punch the danger balls away.

It was towards the final whistle when the opponents seems to be in search for the equaliser when chai took the ball on the outside penalty box and shot it with such power it was beyond the reach of the keeper. Unstoppable.

Chai securred the first hat trick of the team. I think everyone should not have any violent objections of him winning the inaugral Player of the Month. (please come to my house to collect your free gift for player of the month)
