Soccer Fellowship Report [20th January]

The 1st Soccer Fellowhship session of the year started off with all of us desperate to get on the field for a kick! Why? Because even the heavy downpour and the soggy pitch could not deter us from having a wonderful game. The sky was dark and it was really pouring, but at least 25 'desperate' soccer players turned up for a solid game.

The Blues started the match very much in control and used the slippery pitch by troubling the Reds goalkeeper with their shooting. It wasn't long before they put the ball in the net, with Jingzhong latching on to a saved shot. The Blues continued to press and were rewarded for the effort with a few more goals! It was only after a while that the Reds managed to find their feet and pulled a goal back through John Chia, who fired a stiff shot from the right edge of the box. After a while he scored another through the same move.

The 2nd half was more keenly contested with the Reds re-organising and placing more emphasis on keeping the ball. It took about 20 mins to pay dividends, with a slick move that saw Daniel Low firing the ball pass the keeper. With the sky darkening, the match was settled with the last goal by the Blues, a defensive mix-up leading to Damien putting the ball into the net. Final Score-

Blues 5

[Scorers- Choo Jingzhong (4), Damien Chua]

Reds 3

[Scorers- John Chia (2), Daniel Low]

Soccer Fellowship [20th January]

Soccer Fellowship is ON this Saturday, 20th January at Springfield Secondary School [our home ground!].

The session will be from 5 - 7 pm. I know most of us have been looking forward to the start of Soccer Fellowship 2007 and it'll be great to see everyone again this Saturday.

Please pray for good weather!

For team identification this week, please bring / wear a BLUE or RED jersey.

Welcome to Soccer Fellowship 2007

Happy New Year Everyone!

2006 has been a good year for our Soccer Fellowship. God has blessed us with new friends, good fellowship and serious-injury-free soccer. With God's guidance, we are looking forward to serving and playing with you in the year ahead. Soccer Fellowship officially starts Saturday, 20th January 2007 at Springfield Secondary, 5pm - 7pm. We hope to see as many of you as possible.

In addition to playing Soccer regularly and taking part in the occasional tournament, here are some matters that we'd like you to consider-

1) We'd like to set up a committee who will look into the overall vision, objectives and programs of the ministry, as well as administrative stuff. This committee will not be 'bao-ka-liao' because we hope the responsibilities of execution can also be shared with everyone. If you feel you would like to contribute in this way, please send an email to pmcsoccer@gmail.com

2) For those who have participated in our competitive games as part of our PMC Soccer Team, we're also looking to set up a mini-league of sorts with a few other Methodist churches; I guess this will encourage greater focus/motivation in our training sessions. Do send an email to pmcsoccer@gmail.com should you feel that you're ready for competitive soccer in 2007.

3) Finally, we'd like to start off every session with a short devotion from the Bible (5 mins). We hope this will spur us on in our own spiritual walk even as we exercise our physical bodies. If you feel you would like to contribute in this way, please drop a note to pmcsoccer@gmail.com

We are also updating our email address list so drop us an email at pmcsoccer@gmail.com to let us know that your email address is current and you want to continue receiving updates on the Soccer Ministry. Otherwise, do check back this blog ever so often for updates.

Looking forward to see everyone on Saturday 20th January @ Springfield.

God Bless,
Maurice & Kevin
