MWS Tournament Report [19th August]

The team performed credibly at the tournament yesterday considering it was everyone's first competitive outing together, and that we were in a tough group [along with the top 3 teams in the tournament]. The results of the matches played are as follows-

• PMC .vs. Aldersgate [0-0]
• PMC .vs. Queenstown Chinese [1-0] Scorer- Justin Ang
• PMC .vs. Faith [0-1]
• PMC .vs. Paya Lebar [1-2] Scorer- Glenn See Toh
• PMC .vs. Kum Yan [0-0]
• PMC .vs. Queen of Peace [1-1] Scorer- Choo Jingzhong

The PMC team ended the round-robin stage with a total of 6 points and missed out on qualifying for the quarterfinals. Nonetheless, the team has gained invaluable experience playing together.

The tournament was won by Faith Methodist Church. Coming in 2nd and 3rd were Kum Yan Methodist Church and Queen of Peace Catholic Church respectively [both failed to defeat us in the group stage].

The 16-man squad representing PMC
Michael Chua, Maurice Lim, Glenn See Toh, James Lee, Jeremy Sin, Tay Hong Yee, Marcus Tan, Daniel Low, John Chia, Ong Bang Shi, Sheldon Liew, Patrick Tan, Justin Ang, Jimmy Phuah, Issac Chia and Choo Jingzhong.

Friendly Match Report- PMC .vs. CMC [12th August]

The match kicked off at about 5pm with both sides raring to go! The match was an important warm-up for both teams taking part in the MWS Tournament on the 19th. More importantly, it was the 1st full match for the newly formed PMC Soccer Team, with Captain Maurice Lim and Vice-Captain Glenn See Toh needing to work out some quick strategies and tactics for next week's tournament.

CMC controlled the early tempo of the match, playing balls on the ground to their pacy wingers who looked to exploit gaps in PMC's defence. However, none of their attacks produced a goal and slowly, the PMC team was starting to find its foothold on the match, playing a combination of long balls and through passes down the centre of the CMC defence.

A crucial 1-minute period mid-way through the 1st half changed the complexion of the game. A delicate chip found PMC's Jimmy Phuah in space and his shot produced an acrobatic save from CMC's goalkeeper Rupert. The ball rebounded to a CMC player and a swift counter-attack led to CMC's 1st goal through the right wing. CMC 1, PMC 0. CMC spent the remainder of the 1st half pressing for another goal, but to no avail. Halftime.

Before the start of the 2nd half, Rev Edmund de Souza led both teams in prayer, as he thought there would proabably be more 'hot-heads' in the 2nd half..

PMC experimented with just 1 striker up front in order to control the match from midfield. The strategy worked and before long, the PMC wingers and midfielders were finding more space to supply the lone striker with ammunition. An infusion of pace through Marcus Tan and Daniel Low also helped. Some neat link-up play also saw the CMC keeper having to save shots from Isaac Chia and Sheldon Liew. Soon, the highly-anticiapted goal arrived-> a through-ball found its way to Justin Ang, who took the oppportunity to fire a stiff drive past the helpless CMC keeper. CMC 1, PMC 1. The rest of the match
saw both sides trying to press for the winner, but the match ended in a draw.
