Soccer Fellowship Report (11th January)

Around 18 players turned up for the first Soccer Fellowship of 2014 at Hai Sing Catholic School. Devotion was based on Galatians 5:22-23, it says " the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control". Some aspects of the fruit in us may not be well-developed yet and as we entered 2014, all are encouraged to seek God for further development in areas that we are still lacking. Before the game began, Kevin highlighted a few key points that we need to take note, namely the need to release the ball early and also to find space to receive the ball.

Teams were split according to their colour tops, with the Whites against the Colours. Just as we stepped onto the field, heavy rain followed and it lasted for about 10mins before the sun made its timely return. By then, the players were mostly soaked with the rainwater. The game started brightly for the Colours as they were able to organise well from the back and spaces were found on both flanks. Goals were scored in good numbers and the Whites could only launch some counter-attacks to minimise the deficit. By half-time, the scoreline was 7-3 to the Colours. One of the veteran player, John, has scored a hat-trick for the Colours before the first half ended.

The Whites were the dominant side in the second half but numerous chances were not converted, and thus did not bring the scoreline to level terms. All had a good run this afternoon and the team will be up against our Pasir Ris rival Riverlife Church next Sunday. Jem closed us in prayer.
