IVP 2010/2011

Well, the curtains were drawn and set on this year's IVP. A very sad piece of fact remained that for 2 years in the running, none of the 4 local unis broke into d semis and left d competition in d preliminary rounds.

Let's talk about what's happening in the local uni soccer scene. Are we getting too complacent after NUS won the IVP in 2008 or are we a bunch of has-beens or a bunch of undiscovered talent pool waiting for our chance to shine at the bigger stage? I would choose the latter.

This year, SIM performed the best amongst the universities and rightfully, this will set our direction straight and without a doubt, to clinch the SUNig title this year from NTU. An overhaul of the committee will take place and you will most likely, yes I will bring down the speculations, you will DEFINITELY see new faces taking up roles in this club.

Coach was an utterly disappointed man in this campaign, having led this team with the highest optimism but only to fail at the last hurdle. Its ok lads, to me, I see this as a motivation and I'm sure, this year, will be a better year.

Our team this year that competed in IVP 2011 has been playing together for at least 2 seasons, or I should say, the core players. The new blood came into the system and with much admiration, they blended in well.

Lets keep this team balance up and maintain the healthy team spirit, be it beer, club, bloodshed on the pitch, joy, laughter or sorrow, we will prevail and overcome all, in the name of


SIM SOCCER CLUB
