Soccer Fellowship Report [1st March]

The soccer fellowship kicked off on a new ground at East Spring Secondary School as Springfield Secondary is undergoing construction of artificial turf.

At 3pm, the turnout wasn't good as many was still finding their way around.

The devotion was then led by Maurice touching on "Encouragement". Giving an example as when he was running a 2.4km run and the sight of his mates gave him an extra boost in his run. So, on the pitch, instead of blaming your teammates on certain mistakes, instead give a tap on the shoulder and give some encourage to obtain a better effort from him. =)

The weather was nice and windy. The match then kicked off at around 3.30pm. Since we started off late and we played the whole match continuously. No half-time, giving a good fitness maintenance for most of us.

The first goal came when an attack from the blues was cancelled out by the white's defence, resulting in a corner. A brilliant in-swinging corner from ex-national Ronnie Liew resulted in Kee Min producing a powerful header to the top-right corner of the goalmouth leaving the keeper with no chance at all.

The blue's midfield was compact and constantly doing triangle passing. The attack goes on. Soon after, a through ball on the left gave Choon Heng a 1-on-1 situation with the keeper. Too much on the ball, gave time for Michael and Maurice to paddle back. Being sneaky on the dribbles, he dribbled past Joel(gk), Maurice and slotted a goal through the legs of Michael.

Continuing in the through ball attack from the blues, gave Uncle John an opening on the right flank, a moment of brilliance from Uncle John's cross lobbed over the keeper giving Jonathan Jong a simple tap-in for a goal. Jonathan is Michael's colleague and it's his first time joining in for PMC's fellowship.

After conceding the third goal, the Whites pulled up their socks and played some better football, showing more passing and a little one-two on the flanks. Time and again, the whites pushed forward but had hardly much luck and some poor finishing.

Soon after, a little one-two on the right flank between Derrick and Rusydi resulted in Derrick driving a powerful shot from a tight angle on the right. Derrick is Kevin's neighbour and also joining PMC Soccer fellowship for the first time.

The goal liftted up the spirit of the Whites and make them more hungry for an equaliser.

The second goal came when David Teong tried to break Kevin's legs in the penalty box. Rusydi then cleanly slotted the penalty to the bottom right corner of the goal.

After a while, a referee for the next match stepped onto the pitch and blows for a final whistle signalling the end of our fellowship.

God bless all.

FINAL SCORE:
Whites [ 2 ] - Derrick , Rusydi
vs
Blues [ 3 ] - Kee Min , Choon Heng , Jonathan Jong
