report: only four lobos turned up for this match, and the carebears kindly offered to loan the team a forward for numbers. before the match details, the gaffer would like to thank the dudes who bothered to make it down for the match after giving their word. tay, my apologies, sms malfunction.

the team started with wee leong in goal, sum and leo as the defence, jx and carebears' striker likoon as forwards.


as with every other team we have faced since the very beginning, the opposition drew first blood. one of the carebear's forwards latched onto a loose ball and drove it home. leonard drew us on level terms soon after after a forage up front by sum. a nice cross from the former ny guy, and an opportunist finish from the player striving to make the goal scoring role his. anyway, leo was suffering from bouts of hangover, so the goal was really a relief.

a horrendous backpass from jx brought the carebears level. playing without both his big toenails, the manager/player did what he had always been preaching - no square balls under pressurizing circumstances. a series of industrious solo runs did not bring respite, except a very nasty injury from the hottest guy in ntu hss. but luckily, li koon managed to finish a one on one opportunity, which once again evened things out.

fatigue was one main concern, and despite wee leong's efforts in keeping everything out, the carebear's forward did what he had threatened to do from the very beginning. getting the ball completely clear on the left, he took a swing at it which finally eluded wl, and giving the carebears their lead, which they sought to protect.

jx finally got his goal with a nice backflick after confusion in the opposition defence. and 3-3 it was.

manofthematch: wee leong
everyone played well, even jx. but you can't deny a dude the award when he dives full-length on the concrete floor just to prevent a rebound. the sort of attitute every lobo should strive for.

moanofthematch: i can't believe out of 13 players we can't get 6.

quoteofthematch: 'jiu shi ze yang ah? ARH?' a sum in total disbelief at four lobos out of thirteen.

conclusion: one question. team attitude and commitment.
