Left with a bang, back with a BANG!


Team Goat 5 Old Boys 2
(Joe x3, Gino, Tin)

Only leading the table with 4 points the title is definitely for us to lose as old boys have 3 games ahead of us. But after yesterdays game we are confident that points may be dropped and with one more game against them the title could be well decided on the very last day itself.

With such high importance to this weekend game, I was really glad with the turn out. With all of our best players back in action we were ready to give our all. And gave our all we did. Esp with kahwoon in defense, Junguang in between the sticks, Joe back in the strike force and both of our 2 new signings, Ian and Gino showing their composures in defense and attacks respectively.

The start wasn't good as we were quickly down one goal when a ball wasn't cleared properly. We tried to peg back the score but Joe seems to be still searching for his scoring boots.

When Joe thought that he was really down on luck, he manage to dribble past 3 or 4? players, keeper included, and slot the ball into an empty net. Just before the half another counter exposed the whole of Old boys defense and led to a 3 v 3. Joe was there once again to collect the rebound and rammed in a bottom corner goal to bring us 2-1 up.

2nd half started rather quiet in the first 10mins as both team are waiting for each other to strike. Than a corner from old boys which was not properly cleared by us gave them the equaliser. This we could have do better.

As soon as that goal went in, Joe once again got himself free at the other end and claimed his hat-trick and jolly well his Motm award with a simple lay to the far post. Than it was all the way from there as Gino dazzle on his debut as he shuffle past the defender and slot in a brillant goal. Than there was tin with a cheeky chip over the keeper before he was substituted. 5-2 and a well deserved victory for us.

This is the football that both BoonWee and Me was talking about and if we could produce this kind of attendance week in week out challenging titles will not be faraway! So lets keep this together and show up for each other in the upcoming matches as we push on for the title! 

Motm: Joe Ong

What can i say? Joe largely dominated the game even though he was the only one upfront. He held the ball to wait for support. And made runs when he needed to. Easily could have had 5-6 goals yesterday but was restricted to 3. Without his goals we could have easily lost the game. A motm performance when he showed his composure when he slotted in his 7th goal of the season.

Also credit to Kahwoon for his defense at the back when he held the line brillantly. Closing down has been ridiculously fast and fierce. Will be a lost to lose you next season and really hoping that you could join us!

Special thanks to Gino and Ian as well for their great display as well. New signings but already have bonded well with the team already! Next season will be of so much promise! =)

Top Goalscorer and Player of the season

With only 3 games left the Top goalscorer award have never been so close. With up to 5 players challenging for the spot. May the best man win and do share the ball! LOL

This season also seen many brillant display by players all around the field. Will be a chore to pick the nominees but i'm sure the end of the season party will be a place to be!

Till than
