Soccer IHG 20 Jan by Mindy Chow


20 Jan, Sun, Soccer: 
Against the run of play, hall 6 got a corner and somehow scored from it.
But what's one goal when you can have three? It was merely warm up for our boys.
we were down with 1-0 but we made a kickass come back.
Kenneth Sim's stunning overhead kick fooled their keeper and equalised our score, bringing us into 1-1 where the crowd went wilddd.
Hall 6's game plan was to close down our players fast but we countered with some crunching sliding tackles that successfully curbed their aggression.
In the second half Billy outmuscled their last man, latched onto Yu Hao's throughball and slot the ball past their keeper into the bottom left corner of the goal. The crowd was hysterical with echo-ey cheering with sound effects by our Cheer king Kee Xu Rong and cheer queen Jocelyn Chng.
Score: 2-1
Yu Hao, the commanding centre forward who pushed the team forward when were down at first, outmuscled one of their players and accidentally caused him to slip and fall. However, his kindness led him to ditch the ball, and help our opponent up despite the risk of losing our possession of the ball to them. Remarkable spirit that is highly worth commending.
We faced a blessing in disguise when Bryan (Backpain Han) got tackled unfairly. Ming Long took the free kick which came our way, which was pushed into the goal by Yong Geng's stunner cracking header along with the boys' persistent pressure. From where the spectators were, we were squinting past an overcrowding infront of the goal post. The boys refused to set their eyes away until the ball went in. the crowd went "Bonkers."
On our defense side, our defenders were on guard, full time. Parthi won several headers and important challenges to fend off the attack from hall 6 players. Alvins Bay and Chin were dazzling on the field, setting up a wall of defence against the opponents.
In the meantime dynamite Mr Chai Ming Long was barely seen as we only steal of him zooming past flustered opponents at the speed of light.He outmuscles our opponents long before they realise what hit them. He showed impeccable adaptability by filling in across every position in midfield: Playing right mid in the first half, centre mid and left mid in the second half, the opponents could not match up to our road runner.
Kenneth Gan could have had a goal for himself too, if it wasnt for our ever reliable keeper Glen abs Liang.
Chia Wang Peng, did not break a sweat. A motto for looking good.
[Additional commentary by Arnold Wee] Leading with a score of 3-1 as the hall 2 contingent held their breaths, the long - awaited anticipation of nic tai's arrival into the field came to pass. The team activated our star player Nic Tai to polish up the score, who immediately began his serious warmups. He strides onto the field, with a lovely air about him, where he could have had at least one touch of the ball had he not pussied out of a header to avoid messing up his long, wavy locks. Breaking away from a counter attack, Nic sprinted for his life as a ball was played ahead of him. with hall 6 having poured all of their men forward, nic was home free. He saw his name up in the headlines for making it 4-1 to hall 2. But alas, the final whistle was blown and nic failed to muster a single touch on the ball. It could all have been so different had tai ge neglected his hair for that split second.
In the meantime, tackles were flying everywhere as Billy hits the cross bar and his free kick found the top left corner of the goal post but was unexpectedly saved by their keeper. Well what can you say, our boys are not greedy, three is sufficient.
