X-S FC has returned to winning ways and are slowly finding their feet as their run of matches stretch. Although the defence is leaky as they are playing with 3rd choice goalkeeper, Ramesh Rajaram, they notched a victory in the last match over THE Indon team.

In their first match after A levels, CF X-S were overpowered by Fake Madrid FC by 4 goals to none. This dampened their mood but in their next match against Gremlins FC, their dominance was not translated to goals as they slumped to a 4-1 defeat. Both matches were played at St Wilfrid and this underlined their unfamiliarity to the pitch, as the entire team had never played there before the match against FMFC. It also has to be noted that X-S led 1-0 at halftime against the Gremlins, who camped in their half in the 2nd half and scored 4 goals thru defensive lapses.

However, X-S have got only themselves to blame. Own goals and miscommunication peppered with the exuberance of Captain Yaz led to the goals. Furthermore, the team has to shoot more often and not take too long on the ball and keep their cool. However, its true that the arrival of the jerseys brought about their first win. Or could it be the presence of the girl?

Coincidence or fact? We'll find out as they square off against Outram Sec team this Friday at Tanglin Field 1 at 3pm.
