Are We There Yet?

The editor would firstly like to apologize for not updating the blog recently due to other commitments. However, this is an update of the 2 matches we played:

Match 1: vs. Medical
Date: Friday, March 6, 2009
Time: 1730hrs.
Venue: Padang Polo
Results: 0 - 0

Summary: Medical were always in control with their neat and simple passing game, and we could feel that they were holding back due to their Div. 1 commitments which are starting soon. We, on the other hand, were glad to take this experience in our stride as we held on to force a respectable 0-0 draw. Overall the team showed good character and spirit with a special mention going out to Ming (pix) and Jason who performed exceptionally well. The midfield in the 1st half was organized as Max, Au and Jason held their ground in the centre while Ming and Shukor provided width. The 2nd half saw Medical stretch our midfield a bit more when Au and Max came off for Man and Siang. At the back, some stout defending by Azam, Kugz, Adrian, and Alex limited Medical's chances, and that continued into the 2nd half with Keong replacing Alex and Sin coming on for Azam. Heng and Brown toiled courageously upfront (which I thought they should have had more support).

Match 2: vs. Social Frees
Date: Saturday, March 7, 2009
Time: 1730hrs.
Venue: Free School
Results: 2-1 win
Summary: According to our onsite reporters, Social Frees were being dominated by a makeshift looking Team Orange side that saw Keong playing as Sweeper in the absence of Chard, Adrian and Kugz. However, 1 goal apiece from our deadly duo of Heng and Brown ended the contest and although Social Frees did eventually pulled a goal back, the damage had already been inflicted.
