Agape Cup SoccerTron Report (17th July)

It didn't seem like a year ago when the team gathered for the Agape Cup SoccerTron. Indeed, time does fly by when you don't think about it. This year, exactly 9 players gathered for the 9-a-side 1/2 day tournament. The tournament started with S&S, with Kevin leading everyone in Singspiration and Pastor Richard sharing about the transforming power of God's love. He invited those who wanted to know about Jesus to raise their hands, or indicating their desire on response slips of paper.

Marcus, Lincoln, Yi Jun, Daniel

The team played 5 matches in a group of 6 teams and emerged in 2nd place. For the first 4 games, the team was undefeated, with draws against WMC and Team Agape, and wins against PPCC and AFC. The 2 goals scored by Jingzhong (PPCC) and Rusydi (AFC) were beauties.

Marcus with a huge clearance

In the final game against CMC, the team needed a draw to assure top spot, but with fatigue setting in and concentration levels dipping as a result of a long wait, the team conceded a sloppy goal to lose 1-0. Still, it was a good outing and some very good passing and movement took place during the 5 games. It was a good example of how good the team could play when concentration levels are high all the time.

With a long wait (due to Agape Cup final) before the knock-out stage, the team decided to call it a day and head off. It was a good outing for the team, who enjoyed themselves very much.
