Boonie is what we call him

Team Goat 8 Old Boyz 1
(Boonwee x3, Dwayne x2, JunYan, Gino, JinChuen)

2 record have been broken today. Namely the highest record win for us and 2 consecutive hat-tricks by boonwee. Was suppose to be a happy day out for us but ill-discipline by the old boys brought much anger to a few of ours players. Have to be commented that Ian was mature enough to not return the punch and bambang to offer the handshake which was rejected.  But well its part and parcel of the game. We were well managed and well control and i applaud you guys for doing the right thing. Now with 5 games unbeaten we will march on and try to fight the title with Phoenix!

This time is also the first time were there is 8 goals for me to write but i think i will just cut it short by saying each goals summary.

1st goal came when a cross from yongjie found boonie in the middle for a tap in. Goalkeeper helpless as usual. Than a looping goal when there was a one on one with their keep. Sadly for boonie no one celebrated! LOL

Than gino with his skillful drive rounded the keeper for a shot. 3-0 A penalty conceded when boonwee tumbled to the ground. I stood up and brought the scoreline to 4. Half -time

2nd half saw the introduction of some old friends and we knew they will deliever. Boonwee soon got his hat-trick which than he was subbed. HAHA. Dwayne was doing his business on the left where he twice bring the ball past 2 defenders and scored. An assist nearing the end sums up the day when dwayne's cross found jinchuen who was right place right time..

Their goal came through a free-kick which the debates will always carry on. Should the keeper have done better or should the wall have done his job! HAHA! Well...

All in all was a good game expect for the scuffers and the punch that was dished out. 

A few pointers to take note:
  1. Stop pumping ball when they are having 9 men. We were playing their rhythm for a good 10mins before we found our feet again. We have good players who can play, pass the ball keep it on the ground. Dominate the ball let the ball do the work.
  2. Use the wings! a good time we were playing thru the centre. When they have 9 they are naturally packing the middle so play it out there. Stretch them. 
  3. Switching of flanks. Sometime we know it is crowded on one side. play it back switch it to another flank. This is the way it should be.
And did i mention, yangshan found the net but unfortunately was an offside! Its a good start bro! =)

2nd consecutive hat-trick. 2nd goal was a real beauty i got to say. Boonie was all out today and was definitely still in form from last week game. Right place right time he seems to be able to tell where he needed to be to get the goal. Let see if he can continue this form when the league resumes.

Credits to everyone who played today. A well won game. Sorry to those regulars peeps if game time wasn't enough. Esp Tin.

BoonWee does the trick

Team Goat 6 Sengkang Rangers 2
(Joe, JinChuenX2, BoonWee X3)

A game at a great stadium from last season S-league champion. Never would have thought to have an opportunity to play at a stadium and was truly an experience for me and i believe the team as well. Goat were really set up to play and I was cautious with what Sengkang would bring having encounter them twice 2 seasons ago. 

To my surprise, Sengkang wasn't really prepare for our encounter and the big lush field that is going to torment them. They started off with 10 and we got off with one of our strongest 11. Just 2 min in we got our breakthrough with Joe who catches the offside trap. 

It have to be their Captain when they equalise. Twisting and turning, our star recruit was having one of his worse game when he give away a penalty and the man stood up and slot it in.

Stalemate came where both of us were pushing for another goal. A foul just outside the box gave our free-kick specialist a chance. JinChuen stepped up and gave a curler that EPL players will wish that had one too. 2-1. 

Another mistake at the back by Melvin led to another equaliser. 

Come the last minute of first half. We were on the front foot pushing for a goal to bring in to the break. A cross from the right crept towards the goal and the keeper were unable to catch it. Jinchuen was found totally unmark just 1 feet? outside the box. A simple simple tap in was in order and JC did it. 3-2 it goes for the 1st half.

2nd half was all us, As Sengkang only have 12men subs were limited to them. And with 15 on ours, we changed our players all over making sure almost all of them have some respite. We continue to push on to extend our lead and soon we got it through our hat-trick hero. His determination have to be the key for his hat-trick. Great game from our boonie!

Playing on 50-60mins, he got himself 3 goals. There is nothing much i could say as to how prolific he was in front of goal on saturday. He found the defense weakest link and stick to it. A learning point to all our players next time. Exploit and exploit. This will only be better for us! Lets see what will boonie bring come sat against old boyz

Special mention to both Yangshan and Bambang. Yangshan has totally dominated the midfield on Sat where he show he true class as a midfielder. Slow the pace down and up it again when needed. And of cos Bambang who played like a pro. Ever since his entrance to the team, he has up his game and saturday's game was something. He managed to keep their captain at bay and show composure at the back. Going to look forward to what you will bring in the coming weeks.
