2008 - The First Game

The match-up was agasint a familiar opponent, our last game being at Fuchun Sec Sch on 25 Nov 2007 - which happened to be our last game for 2007 before the festive break from Dec 2007 to Feb 2008.

Having lost the previous two meetings 1-3 and then 1-2, the third encounter was a little familiar - a case for revenge. But in perspective, it was still a different line up that came up agaisnt the opposition. A third game agaisnt the same opponent but a different starting 11.

The 2.5 month break did us some good, but some players were also abit rusty and was getting back to form with this friendly.

The Match had us taking the lead 4 times, 1-0, then 2-1, with the score levelled at 2-2 during half time. After the break, we kept loosing the leads at 3-2 and finally at 4-3, all being spunned to eventually go out with a 7-4 lost.

Of course, it didn't help that we conceded at least 4 goals through the fumbling of the keepers, but with some hindsight, a good, steady keeper would have kept those goals out and it would have been a victory or at least a draw.

We need a steady GK.

But it was really a brilliant effort this time round. Good start for the year if we look beyond the result, and put our attention to the dynamism and new found style of play. The Goals are coming.

Let's hope the scoring continues.
