6YardBox 0 - 4 ESFC


ESFC continued their relentless pursuit of the championship with a resounding 4-0 victory over the sporting and valiant 6YardBox playeurs.

MotM hat-trick hero Peng scored not one, not two, but three goals with his priceless right adipure boot (credit to Boon and Jason for their superb assists); and was typically instrumental in the team's performance throughout.

Josh opened his scoring account with a smart left-foot finish after expertly holding off his man, after being put through by Boon's precisely-weighted pass.

Sin Ting and Wenxiong displayed tremendous quality as makeshift goalkeepers, as their sound handling and distribution gifted our team another coveted clean sheet.

As Zhong likes to say, EVERYDAY... SUNDAY!

strawberry dipped with chocolate anyone?

ESFC has been hit with injuries! Even the return of the King could not override the media's publicity on these 2 players - Zhong Terry and Tan Yen Hao. Both were injured during the match against Helo FC. The news is a big blow to ESFC's title challenge as Vidib will also be missing from this Sunday's lineup as he'll be in Msia attending to his cousin's wedding.

Meanwhile, Tan Yen Hao declined to be interviewed regarding his injury status as he was too distraught to talk about his latest injury in 2 years. However, from what PeePeeSee news gathered, his latest injury setback isn't the worst he had encountered. Before this, he had deep cuts on his fingers and right ear which required stitching. This time round, it was only a muscle pull. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

The same thing could not be said about Zhong Terry. He has a microtear on his ligament and the doctor has said that he will be out for 3 weeks or more. The news is a bitter blow for the man himself as he expected himself to be fit for the Bangkok trip in 3 weeks time. Looks like his night activities will be restricted within the 4 walls of his hotel room -not that he will complain =p. " I will gauge my injury myself before i deem myself fit to carry on playing. Hopefully I'll be running in a week and i'll be ready for the next game in 2 weeks' time," Zhong commented, trying to be optimistic about his chances.

On a more pressing issue, certain players have had a dip in form this past week. A major restructuring of the team might happen this Sunday as many first team players will be out(3 is ALOT). Every player called upon to play this Sunday is expected to fill in the shoes of those missing and play like Lions(England, not Singapore). "A team like ESFC have players who can fill in for those who can't play due to injuries, overseas posting or even a dip in form," suggested Muhammad Vidib when asked about problems that ESFC might face this weekend.

ESFC players will have to brace themselves for hot and fast-paced action on the pitch as all the teams will be vying to inflict ESFC's first defeat. "I believe that ESFC players as a whole have the spirit to achieve greater heights and we will conquer ESPZEN!" remarked Muhammad Vidib, hoping to inspire his teammates with these words before departing for Malaysia.



In the meantime, please remember to drink plenty of water prior to our games.

Return of the King(oops, Kim)


Everyday Sunday Football Club has been given a massive attacking boost after left-winger Then Kim Yuan showed no ill-effects from his 25 minute appearance for the club's match against HELO FC last Sunday. Kim Yuan has not played more than 10 minutes beforehand after injuring his medial collateral ligament in his right knee, with the rehabilitation period taking longer than expected.

Kim Yuan said: "It was in June last year when I had the injury and I knew there was a lot of work to do to get back, especially when the team needed me on many occasions and I aggravated the injury.

"Since the start of the year, I've given much thought to stop playing entirely and fully recover from my injury. I've intensified the strengthening exercises in the gym and also visit different doctors to seek their views.

"I am now just thinking about trying to get as many minutes under my belt as I can before trying to get back into the first team squad.

"It was nice just to come through 25, my first in six months or so, and it feels good, even though I'm lacking in terms of fitness compared to the rest of the boys."

The absence of the left-winger in recent matches have sorely put the spot-light onto the previously unknown(or rather unseen) Muhd Adib, with the latter grabbing all the attention with his goals, fights and sensitive comments to the media. With the left-winger back to the fray, the media will be relishing the opportunity to put their focus back to the controversial midfielder, albeit in a hugely entertaining manner.

ESFC continued their winning streak in the inaugural Mini League with their straight fifth victory in a row. Domination of possession did not translate into goals as glit-edged chances were spurned.

MotM Peng was the creative force behind most of the team's attacks and finished off two swift counter-attacks himself this Sunday.

Injuries to stalwart Zhong and the mercurial Yenhao, and a sloppy goal conceded to a rare moment of indecision amongst the usually rocksteady defence, marred an otherwise good match against the valiant Helo FC players.
