there has been recent talk of a friendly match against carebear united. the hwachong-based team, having recently matched nie legends and kimchi united, are reputed to be a very energetic outfit, with several extremely fit players, cross country runners in their younger days.

from the extensive pool of ten players, three have stated immediate unavailability. newly crowned world player of his year leo chunavaro is once again on compassionate leave. cristiano zhipengo has a testimonial match back at former team ajc, while roberto congjing carlos is away in france attending a conference.

however, the good news is that walter sumuel and nemanjang weedic have declared themselves ready for the match, ensuring that no matter what, there is a solid backline. bobby gerrard has pledged his cannonballs for saturday, and ronaldinho tay will be smarting from his loss in the recent poll; all the better for the team, all the worse for the opposition. yew tzavi will control the middle of the park, and trialist marcus pires will want to impress. also on loan is edwin wee der leong, who will keep for sat, ending a long time problem for the still-nameless team.


meanwhile zhipengo and joe ho have ruled themselves out of any action for the next three weeks, as "time can heal injuries".

"my toenail is turning black," explained joe ho, who has not played seriously as of this year.

"it was blue last night, so i'm wondering if it'll turn brown tomorrow. as long as not red can liao."

zhipengo could not be reached for comments. however, it is understood his ingrown toenail has been a problem, attributing to his poor form lately.
