An Alliance Forged.

The game at Bedok South Secondary was extordinary because of 2 reasons.

Firstly, Team Sunday had a very weak turn out of players, 9 in total.

Secondly, despite the glaring disadvantage, TS managed to forge an alliance with another team, Marcus Goh's Guards; who had half of their team turn up to support TS's efforts against a Yellow Team of veterans (YTOF).


The match started drastically wrong, as two teams playing in the same side tried to find the groove that would make them tick - which they inevitably paid the price early on in the game, conceeding 3 goals in quick succession.

Even with George as GK, there was little he could do to stop the melee from the YTOF.

Having paid such a heavy price, the Alliance was supprisingly spirited. And as they found their fit, the game became more controlled and in the last minutes of the first half, a corner was won.
From a Benny in swinger, Mervin headed the ball with such verocity that the keeper could not do anything about it. Goal!!!...

1-3 at Half time.

The second half saw George coming into central defence as Wenjie took to goal. Eugene took to the right and Marcus Goh started as striker. MG's Ben came in to central midfield as DM.

It was about destruction of the opposition. When the Alliance settled, they were almost in total control.

They were guilty of missing chances, but the confidence was building, and eventually, some neat play from the right found MG some space which he tapped home to close the deficit.

There were chances, but the finishing was wasteful in a game that should have been won. But it was a dominance to remember.

TS as part of this Alliance game had done well. Though clearly, the best player on the pitch that day didn't belong to any of TS's players.

Though the game ended 2-3, perhaps the one most important aspect of this game was the ability of the players to pull themselves together in times of need, and that is notably, a great experience.


Squad:
TS - George, Marcus, Mervin (1), Ryan, Marc, Benny, Seah, Boon, Edmund
MG - Marcus Goh (1), Ben, Eugene, Andy, Izwan, Wenjie



Team Sunday thanks Marcus Goh's team for their support and hope to be able to work with them on projects in the future.
