It was an exceptionally fine day for the start of the PMC Soccer Community season. The weather was cool and the field at Pasir Ris Secondary looked very well rested indeed. At the beginning of the session, 18 players had turned up, itching to get a good run-out. Many had not played during the break and looked very fresh!
Kevin started the session off with a time of devotion, sharing from the account of Jesus calming the storm. He explained that whatever storms in life come our way, we can always rely on Jesus to see us through them, because He is an all-powerful God.
By the time devotion ended, a few more players turned up and there were at least 10-a-side for a full field game. It was the Reds/Whites (RWs) vs the Blues. Surprisingly, passing was very sharp and ball-control was good. All players were just getting a feel of the ball and it was the RWs who struck first. Before long though, the Blues equalized. Action was fast-paced and Dominic and Kee Min on opposing teams were pulling the strings in midfield for their sides. Half-time arrived with the RWs in the lead 2-1.

The 2nd half saw the Blues reorganize themselves with Ronnie playing up front instead of last man. This paid dividends as we scored one and set up a couple for Kee Min to put the Blues in front. The RWs had to rely on Marcus' hat-trick to pull away 5-4 before the Blues pulled one more back to even the score at 5-5. The high-scoring game was certainly enjoyable and started the season off on a very positive note. Maurice closed the session in prayer.
