This match was played at Blk 867A Tampines St 84. It was an open field and the pitch conditions were not ideal. Considering the amount we had to pay for the match, it wasn't really worth the money.
The game however, was interesting. Before it started, I guess we did write off ourselves a alittle, taking that the opponent were made up mainly of veterans from Tengah Airbase.
According to one of their former players, the opposition had been around for a good 8 years together, and had some pretty decent results before us.
So I don't suppose optimism could have sprouted anywhere near us, perhaps finding a decaying mushroom in antartica was more likely, taking into account our jinxed record so far. All losses.
But the game started out interestingly. Once again for a second game running, we were in the lead, 1-0 then 2-1 at half time. A first for as long as I can remember.
Then we took a 3-1 lead. At this point, a crucial penalty miss cost us, and then the decline started....We lost the lead.
At 3-3, we fumbled in the last min of play to concede a goal. It was really hard to take and everyone was a little dissapointed.
But I guess, compared to the way we lost our games in 2007, I am guessing it will only be a matter of time before we break this jinx and go on a winning streak.
We did take good control of this game, and this little rustiness could be shaken off soon. It would really take a team effort to make it happen.
I take heart in the fact that we are still trying after results like this - and we'll try again till we get it right.
Forza Team Sunday!!!
Team: Mervin, Marcus (own goal), George, Aston (1), Kok Meng, Jack, WT, Adrian (1), Boon, Joseph, Justin (1), Zul, Aaron, Marc.
