A spirited and great display lads, this was our first game after our despairing drew w SMU tt cost us our title in the SUNig and surely it doesnt seem like we guys lost touch in football.

The first 20 mins was a little of a blip but soon after it was just SIM. We controlled the game well, d defence was well guarded and it was an encouraging performance by Ray back in the goal line. In the midfield department, the engine was nicely oiled and Romulo did an excellent job in holding d ball up w Sebastian showing signs of his early promises in his CV.

The first goal was conjunct out of nothing. A quick free kick taken by Brandon was passed on to Darren and albeit all shouts n calls that he was crossing instead of shooting, he took a step and let fly a howitzer that ricocheted off the NP's defenders headed n into d net. 1-0.

In due honesty the referee was full of nerves and it was evidently shown in the last 10 mins of d game where he blew f a foul in d box by young Bryan. It was a weak foul but the penalty was coolly converted home by their no. 7, which is plying his trade in Gombak Prime League but clearly and sadly not showing any indication tt he belonged there.

The last hurray belonged to Bryan, who received a succulent throw ball from i-forgot-who and he dipped a ball over d head of the NP keeper which hit d post and crossed the net. Despite obvious signs tt d ball crossed d line and the over zealous jumping of joy by one of d NP jogger, the referee dropped his whistle and forgot t blow it for a goal. To hide his embarrassment, he waved for the game t carry on but lets face d fact, it was 2-1 to SIM in the dying mins.

Lets continue this winning tradition babes, we can do it.
