PMC Soccer Fellowship 2nd Feb 2008

Soccer fellowship carried on despite the incessant rain on Saturday. Sheldon led those present in short time of devotion regarding us being the salt and light of the earth. There were 14 people who turned up in all. We proceeded to play a quick 7-a-side with the blues taking on the whites. The match was played in an atmosphere of fun, with players abandoning their accustomed positions. We also warmly welcomed David Teong back to the fold after overcoming his first month as a new father! The game ended without us counting scores, but it was great kickabout nevertheless!

Soccer Fellowship, 19 Jan 2008

It was a hot, sunny afternoon on Saturday when we kicked off our first ever fellowship session of 2008! There were about 25 people gathered by the time Kevin started sharing a devotion passage which can be conveniently found in the blog entry dated 22 Jan 2008.

Numerically, the whites and blues were split evenly. However, it was very clear that the whites held the advantage of youth. Hence, it became a case of exuberance versus experience. With their attack comprising the likes of JZ, Jeremy Tan, kee min, damien and joel, it was clear they had pace on their side. The blues backline of kevin, mark, samuel eyo and maurice looked like they would have their work cut out for them.

Despite the imbalance on paper, it was the blues who carved out the first real chance, a through ball sending daniel low into a 1-on-1 with goalkeeper michael chua. Daniel failed to convert it though, but that set the tone for things to come. The blues' backline were marshalled superbly by Kevin and Mark, keeping the number of times GK Kris had a touch on the ball to a minimum.

The first goal came from a through ball to Bryan whom dummied it for Justin Ang to race on and slot it in the near post. 1-0 to the blues. The whites rallied and had their first chance, a shot from Damien needing a fingertip save from Kris to deny him.

The blues made a switch, Darren Tan coming off injured for Jeremy Sin. this led to a reshuffle in formation, with Kevin moving to central midfield in a 4-5-1 formation. This paid dividends shortly afterwards with a few more chances being created. The second goal duly came, albeit fortuitiously, due to a mix-up between GK and Right Back. A hopeful centre from Bryan looked destined to be dealt with neatly by the whites' defence. However, that mix up presented Kevin Ang with the easiest of tap-ins.

The whites pressed on again in search of that elusive goal. They created a few more chances, the pick of them being a free header on the far post by JZ which was amazingly not on target.

The match wore on with neither side looking to score any more goals. Then, rain came. That drew a close to our first ever fellowship session for 2008. We look forward to what is to come in the year with great anticipation!
