X-S FC(without Capn Fabreyaz) 4
Temasek Hall Boys 4


It was one of those "we could have won" games. Having led 4-2 and despite KNOWING that we WILL concede, we conceded 2 in under 5 minutes during the dying stages of the game. Something is wrong somewhere but where? Perhaps for a start, fancy footworks and dribbling shall only be permitted to everyone but the last man.

Despite the scorching heat, big field and limited number of substitutes, it should be noted that the team spirit was superb. Stand in goalkeeper Ben Derek was courageous during one on one situations. His attempted diving save to the right corner was superb - even though the ball seemed to be heading somewhere else. I could be wrong.

And is it just me or are we beginning to play better whenever our Number One Fan is around? Perhaps the board members could come up with a "Fan of the Month" award as an incentive to encourage more fans to show up. I nominate Esther as Fan of the Month for the month of October.

Splendid vision and passes from Bhai-haki to open space up front should be a feature in every game from now on. This writer also feels that if everyone reminds one another of the things one should or should not do during games, X-S FC will be a team to be reckon with. Players without a footballing brain like Xali Alonso needs all the pointers he can get. He also apologizes for all the misplaced weak passes and lousy first touches that could have probably resulted in goals.

Looking forward to future games! Meanwhile, there's approximately 5 weeks left to our final exams. I wish for everyone to study hard and do ourselves and our parents proud. For those without exams like Jusdriano, do try to quit smoking. (:
