Soccer Fellowship Report (9th March)

Many must have been worried that the sudden downpour at 230pm would signal the end of Soccer Fellowship that afternoon, but within minutes, the sky cleared and the sun came out. A group of 16 players gathered at Pasir Ris Crest Sec to get a very decent run-out.

Kevin began the session with devotions, using Matthew 25's Parable of the Talents to illustrate how each player was blessed with different gifts and all we are called to do would be to be faithful with what we have been given. Similarly on the soccer field, we should contribute in the position that we play.

The players were split into 2 teams with the Whites/Blues up against the Other Colours.  Using only half the field, play was fast and furious throughout. It was clear that some players were using Soccer Fellowship to step up their preparations for the coming CrossRoad Cup, with Kee Min's pace relentless and Joel Tan playing very effectively. The 1st half ended at 5-5 and after a short break, play resumed with a change of sides. Scoring continued to be back and forth, with Maurice looking for his hat-trick. The final score went 8-7 to the team in White/Blue and overall, it was another satisfying kickabout for those who turned up.
