Soccer Fellowship Report (24th August)

Unlike the gloomy weather of last week, it was a scorching afternoon at Hai Sing Catholic School. At about 3.30pm, we had about 12 players and Jacob started the devotion on the topic of being a good worker. Apostle Paul defines a good worker as "one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the Word of truth" in 2 Timothy 2:15.

It was the Whites VS Other colours on half a soccer field with small goalposts. The game in the first half was much more open as players from both sides looked to exploit spaces in the wide areas. Counter-attacks were seen on numerous occasions but both sides lack the lethal finish up front. First half ended with 2-2.

After the break, the Whites chose an ultra-defensive approach by stationing almost all of their players around their own box. The Other colours had to keep exchanging short passes in front of the opponents' box in an attempt to break the defensive shell. However, on most occasions, the shots by the Other colours were either blocked by the over-crowded wall or saved by the goalie. The approach adopted by the Whites was indeed effective and eventually, the second half ended with 3-3.

Those players involved in the upcoming SoccerTron stayed on the pitch awhile more to practise their shootings and then Jacob closed us in prayer.
