The session started off with devotion [Being passionate for God in the big & small things] & prayer led by Kevin Ang. He proceeded to captain the Whites, while Sheldon was appointed captain of the Blues.
The match started off under hot and dry conditions (very dry & hard ground I must emphasise). The game started to flow well and both teams practised playing with the offside rule to prepare for future competitive matches. Though not easy to judge accurately, it gave the forwards and defenders the opportunity to read situations better and make adjustments to their positional play. It took about 20 minutes for the 1st goal- Darren Tan being the forunate scorer for the Whites when the ball fortuitously spun through the hands of veteran goalkeeper Kelvin Tham. The Blues fought back with much determination and capitalised on 2 short goalkicks to take the lead within 2 minutes. Sheldon Liew being the scorer on both occasions. No more goals were scored before half-time.
The Whites started off the 2nd half trying to be a bit more disciplined and organised. Their objective was to score and not concede. Only 1 of those objectives was met. The 2nd half was played extremely well by both teams in the areas of discipline, fitness and tactics. There were many chances- Choon Heng deflecting Kevin's drive against the frame of the goal, Choon Heng scrapping the upright with his fierce drive, Mark Leong making a headed goal-line clearance from Marcus Fa's header, acrobatic saves by Kelvin & Michael Chua and Jingzhong narrowly missing the target. Alas, no goals were scored and the Blues ended the victors! Well done Blues!
