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]
