Turf city was where our soccer boys had the chance to redeem themselves.
Hall 2 took the lead when a sublime freekick by Captain Chai from an acute angle fooled everyone and found its way into the back of the net. 1-0
Stout defending by our astute backline kept Hall 3 at bay, with Alvin Bay sliding in to clear the ball off the line, onto the post and out for safety.
A massive clearance by Gan found Sim through on goal who held off 3 defenders to slot the ball home. 2-0
An awkward bounce of the ball led to our leftback Bay slicing his clearance and the ball unfortunately found itself in our net. 2-1
But 4 years of heartache has taught us to believe and to fight on. The closest Hall 3 came was a shot that struck our cross bar but as time ticked by, it was apparent our boys would see the game through.
We won. Tears were shed (actually just Bay, though he claims he fell and hurt himself) and our boys brought the gold home.
'Nuff said. Hope you all enjoyed your CNY dinner.
Special thanks to those who made their way down. And shaowei for being welfare/publication/sport sec all at once.
