X-S FC is sending out a select group of players to play in the NUS Muslim Society Challenge Shileld 3.
The team is a subsidiary of the X-S FC squad, called Blazing Salvo. Here's a short history.
It started in year 2003 for the Nike SKO competition. Shahrul, Captain Yasin and their friend Hafiz made the team, but went nowhere in the tourney. So the following year, in the Nike Panna KO comp, Yasin called up Singh and Anand and made it to the last 16 of the tourney before The Singh got lobang-ed. Then last year, in Nike's Play to Win compeition, they made in into the top four before Captain Yasin let in a goal to FI & Co. (Fat Indian and his two frens.) who went on to win the tourney coz the Fat Indian blocked the goal the whole time. It was a sad moment in Nikefootball's history, when they took the first prize. A few months later, in the Inter-JC Street Soccer comp held at the Youth Park, the original Blazing Salvo joined forces with Yi Sheng (Monfort's captain) and Hisham (FMFC's goalie) and not forgetting Ramesh Rajaram who scored a spectacular scissors kick in the final (while lying on the floor of coz). Blazing Salvo lost in the final to TPJC on penalties (Anand missed) after a thrilling match which ended at 3-3.
Now, for the upcoming tourney, Anand is missing for international duty. Thus, Nizar, Boon Leng, Daniel and Muhsin are called up to join Eng, Yasin, Bhai and Ram in a bid to further boost the name of Blazing Salvo. Its a 6-a-side in NUS on the 18th Feb, 9am to 5pm.
Details TBA.
