Soccer Fellowship Report (10th June)

It was a really really hot day on the Sunday afternoon and the field was well baked from the scorching heat. It was no surprise that it took awhile before players started to stream in and perhaps that also accounted for a slightly lower attendance of 14 players. It was good to see Samuel Pang return to soccer, and also to have a new face join us, Ivan (Dominic's friend).

Kevin started off the session with devotion, focusing on the topic of respect for one another, with the key verse being 1 Peter 2:17. He cited the lack of respect between fans and players in the early matches of Euro 2012 and encouraged everyone to not follow likewise during Soccer Fellowship and CRC2012 matches.

It was Whites versus Colours for this session of Fellowship. Using half the field and chairs/bench for goalposts, play was fast paced and very energy sapping due to the heat. Both sides played short passes and there were some deft touches shown but the Colours led early with goals from Isaiah and Ronnie. Not to be outdone, the Whites also made sure they got themselves on the scoresheet with Yi Jun and Dominic. At half time, the Colours led 3-2, with Joel grabbing the Colours 3rd goal. 

After much needed rest, the teams swapped sides and played 6-on-6 with 1 player leaving from each side. With more space, there was more running and goals of course. Both teams chipped in with a couple of goals each before play ended and Isaiah closed the session in prayer.
