First Friendly @ 2011

Anderson Sec, 1500hrs
Everyday Sunday FC 1 - 5 Y Homeless FC
Wx

The anticipated return of Everyday Sunday FC on the football pitch on a hot and sunny afternoon brought both a sense of dread and relief to the team. After a 7 months hiatus, only 11 players turned up for the friendly against Y Homeless FC given that it is still a CNY weekend.

The game started with in a 4-4-2 formation with Simon as the goalie; WeiLin, Jason Chew, Wak and Hanting forming the backline; St, Jason Ang, Wx and Eugene in midfield; a strike force of Ragen and Kim.

With the lack of subs and the inherent tendency to play fast and furious, ESFC faded off after a bright start with great inter-change of play and goal scoring opportunities. In the end, the opponents counter-attacked successfully twice with sublime finishing from their star striker.

The second half started brightly for ESFC again with Wx taking a pass from Kim to score from 25 yards which left their goalie stranded. However, the opponents scored 3 goals in quick succession to bring an end to the game.

MOTM: Wx. For a great finish and overall control of the midfield with a few great attacking runs into the box.

Guys, considering that we have not played together for 7 months and its still a CNY holiday. Take it with a pinch of salt with regards to today's scoreline and attendance. We did well today in terms of the attacking plays and probably everyone was too eager to fightback and a lack of match fitness led to a neglect of some defensive duties.

We will do well when we play more games which I will definitely be arranging...

On a side note, we are on a two games losing streak. 6-0 and 5-1. Let's tighten up the back first shall we? a La Mourinho~
