Soccer Fellowship Report (2nd February)

On a hot and sunny afternoon we had 21 players turned up to enjoy playing soccer under the scorching sun. Ronnie commenced the session by giving devotion on the message that our God is good and wonderful. He highlighted a recent unfortunate incident resulting in the death of 2 young boys killed by a cement mixer trunk at Tampines and reiterated excerpts of the boys mother speech which had a very powerful message.

Play started at a slow pace with only 13 players playing on a reduced size pitch with the Whites team versus the Coloured team. The Coloured team ably marshalled by Isaiah started impressively and were 2 goals up in a matter of minutes much to the bewilderment of the Whites team. Play was rather scrappy for a short period before the Whites team got into gear to match the Coloured team strong display and managed to score goals to level the score. At half time the score was 5 all and the players trooped off the field for some breather and refreshment.

Play resumed in the second half with the game tempo greatly reduced due to the hot weather. However the Coloured team still managed to score a few more goals due to their better teamwork with the Whites team playing catch up with the game ending with the final score 8 - 7 in favour of the Coloured team.

Sheldon closed the session in prayer, and prayed specially for Luke who injured himself during the session.
