Buangkok FC 5 Malay boys + Q-S + Daniel + Winston 6

After a fruitful mini match, 6 Malay boys whom we knew threw the gauntlet. Another match with them. Winston decided to join them. Daniel was forced. I was forced.

Apparently, none of you all would like to lower your pride and be by their side for only one afternoon.

In the 1st half, the Malay boys surprised everyone by taking the lead. 1-0. I was playing as goalkeeper for them. Uncle Ah San equalized through a header from a corner. 1-1. Alex tucked in the ball far from my reach to make it 2-1. Ah San stuffed in another header 3-1. Malay boys pulled one back 3-2. End of half.

In the 2nd half, Winston switched places with me. I was playing as a defender. Malay boys equalized quickly. 3-3. Then Buangkok FC grabbed the lead again 4-3. Malay boys showed composure to level 4-4. Malay boys again went up 5-4. Only to be pecked down again 5-5. I suggested to end the match as a draw. But all would like to continue.

One unbelievably accurate long ball from me, a Malay boy brought the ball down, laid down for another and Malay boys stole the lead. That's the final score. 6-5 to Malay boys.

The Malays are well-informed that a fall-out Q-S had to play for the opposing team. Q-S is not a kelong, was not a kelong and will never be a kelong.

MAN OF THE MATCH: AH SAN. This man I repeatedly say defy the logic of smoking and fit for his age.

Team B

CD - Chinese uncle
CM - Nicholas
CM - Wee Zheng
CM - Uncle Justin
RW - David
AM - Ah San
ST - Daniel

Did I leave anyone out?

The three Malay guys really did the damage on Team B. Their understanding stems from knowing each other very well. Tang Yao saving shots as usual for Team A. Q-S playing at left-back. How Meng playing defender moving forward too. Winston is a good winner of the ball. Alex, again, with all those passes which are sheer quality. Kang Xiang's friend made another appearance. Iskandar and his two Malay friends. He scored twice.

Team B Kang Xiang was outnumbered but he tried his best. Chinese uncle now I do not know the real reason why he joins us. Nicholas one of our key midfielder. Wee Zheng passes the ball. Uncle Justin, who enjoys playing with us, shows age is no barrier. David running down the right-wing. Ah San has a good football brain. Daniel scored the consolation goal for Team B.

Looks like we are back entertaining every Saturday afternoon.

MAN OF THE MATCH: Alex Teo. Controlling the total pace of the game. 2 goals. Belongs to the top 10% of intelligent people in his age group.

Buangkok FC Street Soccer 10 January 2015

Our Buangkok FC look dark. Uncle Ah San has deleted himself from our WhatsApp group. Apparently, he's not pleased with me making fun of his nieces. If I, one of the pioneer, is kicked out of the team, we are doomed. Because I'm the most influential and we find it hard to even have a starting XI these days. Not like in the past.

If Ah San decides to exile me, I have back-up plans. Once a week at the field in Serangoon. Once a week at Cage. Twice at the street soccer court.

Today at the court, we made a mistake. There were tough matches against young boys. We should just continue. Because only we have a football, we decided to go shelter and rest. We had embarrassed young people. They look like fools, all 15+ of them with no ball. A few of them threw tantrums. Next time we play, just let them play. Win or lose, at least we entertain ourselves.

Q-S

TBH, Q-S, Alex, David, Kang Xiang and Cher Siang are worth mentioning today. I'm not being bias at all.

You people are getting sick of my cousins jokes. "Since your sister rejected me, I can settle for 2 of your cousins." Does this statement make any sense at all?

Buangkok FC Training 3 January 2015

A healthy number of people arrived.

Q-S
Alex
Kang Xiang
Winston
Ah San
Ah San's son
David
Jeff
Tang Yao
Nicholas

A fun-filled afternoon for us. The field is slightly better.

I am rolling back the years as an outfield player. Taking back what was stolen from me.

Alex is sharp with his wide range of passes. We benefit from this.

Kang Xiang is a defender that likes to move forward. Quite risky.

Winston using his army training to advantage. Our fittest.

Ah San, who brought us here in the first place, defies the logic of smoking.

Ah San's young son is going to be a talented footballer. We are training him.

David again rampaging. A powerhouse.

Jeff returned after a long hiatus. Should pass but dribble too much.

Tang Yao, a trained goakeeper, provided comic relief playing as defender.

Nicholas instrumental in midfield. Had settled into our team very well.

MAN OF THE MATCH: ALEX TEO. The complete midfielder. Highly intelligent.

Buangkok FC The Cage 2 January 2015

11 of us played The Cage at Kovan. We had a lot of fun playing series of matches.

Q-S indeed getting better. Improving a lot

Alex showed why he's best technically. Adapting to field, street and cage

Kang Xiang lethal in defence and attack. Very fit and should be considered by an official local club.

David shoots the ball at sight. With authority.

Wee Zheng scored few.

Keith is fast. Running at players.

Cher Siang defending.

Daniel may miss chances. But he scores very well.

Tang Yao playing keeper. Doing well.

Shyong Ming is at the peak of his game. Stalwart in defence.

Nicholas an all-round midfielder. Should stick in the middle.

It feels good playing in a different football environment. Maybe we should play cage once a month?
