Team B were up to 5-3 before the 2nd half. The match ended 8-4.

Tang Yao tried hard as keeper. But most of the goals scored by Team B, I don't think any Under 16 keeper can save them.

Our CEO Ah San is not as sharp as he used to. Nicholas in the playmaker role did well. Shyong Ming prefers to stay in the centre these days spraying passes and long shots. Keith's running down the right-wing is being read by Team B. David is always at the front of counter-attacks. Daniel can score like I score free balls in pool.

I think I did fine as keeper and defender. Cher Siang was surprisingly on his better days. Javier again not as good as the last times he played with us. Alex did a superb job as midfield maestro. Kang Xiang is the fittest among us. Execellent stamina. Andi came back after a 7-month absence. A rare appearance by Jeff.

6 on 6. Team A were down by 10-5. We managed to claw our way back to lead until the match finished with a draw 13-13. I think I had a bad game as keeper though I did a few stops. Sometimes I played defender and did quite well. Nicholas was a thorn in Team B's side. David scored a few to help Team A to come back. Uncle Justin need two Team B players to dispossess him. Ah San did well again. If Team A had a striker, we would win.

Team B Wee Zheng again on the borderline average. Alex was masterful with those intelligent passes. Most accurate with the ball in H8FC. Kang Xiang also did well not afraid in taking on players. Shyong Ming is dangerous too. Keith is deadly on the flanks. With attacking players like Alex, Kang Xiang, Shyong Ming and Keith running riot. No wonder Team A were down 10-5. Daniel to his credit did score a few with his head.

Man Of The Match: ALEX

Team B

GK - They rotate keeper

This 7-on-7 match, Team A had a game plan. The 2 defenders me and Tang Yao do not go wide. Instead we compress in the middle. We let them run in the flanks and we cut off their crosses. Team B were all-out attack. Their formation were like 0-0-6.

Team A take in their pressure and play counter-attack. Basically me, Tang Yao, Wee Zheng, Alex and Kang Xiang defended very well. The 3 midfielders Wee Zheng, Alex and Kang Xiang would bring the ball from defence to attack. Ah San waited in front, hold the ball and release to the 3.

How Meng also did well as goalkeeper. Saving a few shots.

The match was deadlocked for a long time. Ah San opened the account putting Team A ahead 1-0. Then Wee Zheng with a tyco cross, a Team B player scored an own goal. 2-0.

The match was supposed to be over at 2-0. The sky was already dark. But we continued playing. Glen managed to pull one back. Shyong Ming equalized with the last kick of the game. Javier, Nicholas, Uncle Justin and David are dangerous players. It took a tremendous effort for Team A to keep them at bay. David's friend returned to play after around a year. There's also this new Malay boy who played in the 5-3 game.

Man Of The Match: KANG XIANG
