Soccer Fellowship Report [1st May]

Being a long weekend, it was no surprise that attendance dipped for this session. Nonetheless, 18 players turned up for a time of fellowship under the hot hot sun. We welcomed back Patrick, after his 'paternity leave' and Eddie, one of the Caleb Cuppers from 2009. The session started with David Sng sharing devotion, encouraging us to be excellent in what we do and to know Christ in the process.

Following the devotion, the 18 players were split into Reds versus Others, playing 9-a-side without a keeper and scoring only to take place within the 6-yard box. Play was extremely open with the fewer number of players on the field. There was lots of time on possession and it was the Reds who starting the scoring with quick breaks into the box. It was impossible to keep score beyond 5-0 with Jingzhong, Yi Jun and Damian getting on the score sheet for the Reds numerous times. Ronnie and John got 2 back for the Others before HT.

The 2nd half saw much the same type of action, except that it was the Others who had good possession. However, with fatigue setting in, it was the Reds again that led the scoring in the half before play ended with many choosing to call it a day due to the exhausting heat.

Patrick closed us in prayer, thanking God for the session and keeping us injury-free.
