Soccer Fellowship Report (1st June)

Despite the excellant weather for soccer only 8 guys turned up for soccer fellowship. Poor turnout largely due to a number of regulars absent to attend our Bro Michael Chua wedding celebrations that day. Ronnie opened the session by sharing that God wants us to honor our parents, to value and cherish them as our parents deserve our love and respect. This is how we should treat our parents if we desire God's blessing.

Due to the small turnout, play had to be restricted to 4 a side which was played on a half size field with no goalie. It was the usual Whites vs Coloured team. Play commenced with the Coloured team playing the more aggressive and direct soccer focusing on short passing, retaining posession, short dribbling and shoot on sight strategy. The White team was however contented to sit back to handle the onslaught, defending stoutly, employing quick counter attacks to score a couple of quick goals. Play was pretty even in the first half and a similar pattern followed in the second half. The second half saw both teams stepped up the pace as rain threatened to pour as grey clouds covered the skyline and strong winds blewed. Lots of running and short passing of the ball by both teams with many goals scored. Due to the small number of players per team, the players had to do more running than usual and all did enjoyed a good workout on the field. Heavy rain eventually descended on the field with about 15 mins of playing time left and play had to stop with the players running to the changing room to take shelter from the rain.
Kevin closed the session in prayer.
