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?)
