Soccer Fellowship Report [7th July]

The session started off with really fine weather. It rained in the morning so everyone was looking forward to the soft field (which still wasn't really soft but we Praise God anyways!) About 18 players turned up at the start with more arriving by half-time with a total of about 24 for the day. John gave the devotion this week and encouraged all of us to communicate God's love by loving one another. The key scripture text is John 13:34,35 "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you. By this, all men will know
that you are my disciples if you love one another". Do keep these verses in mind this week and see how it can apply to you.

Bangshi (Blues) and Kevin (Whites) captained the 2 teams. There was lots of running and tenacity shown during the match with both sides taking leads and then surrendering them. The Blues started off the stronger side with Jeremy Tan (goalkeeper turned striker) putting the Blues ahead after a defensive mix-up between Choon Heng & Whites goalkeeper Michael Chua. Not long after, a slick move down the right wing produced an excellent finish from Ryan Tan who slotted the ball coolly into the far bottom corner of the goal. Being 2 goals down didn't sit well with the Whites who pressed forward and managed to get a goal back through Maurice Lim. The match went this way with further goals being scored by the Blues through Jeremy again before strikes from Darren Tan (2), John Chia and Mark Leong brought victory for the Whites.
