It was a special sunday for Kachangpool FC....We finally clinged
a well-deserved win away from home in
the "ulu" part of Yishun,next to a longkang,which happens to be a
grave for footballs.
Weather condition was fine but the state of the field was far from
that,with patches of bumpy hard soil scattered all around.But that
failed to deter the high morale Reds from playing their new found
style of football.An amazing 17 players turned up for this
match,all ready to rotate
among their respective positions throughout the game.
The match started with us doing most of the attacking down the
flanks and through the centre, managing
to feed the strikers with several through passes.Referee was strict
with his calls for offside and we were caught on several
occasions.The
strikers did have some decent chances but missed narrowly.
The opening came when Russell stole the ball from the keeper and
tapped it home.He claimed the keeper
was holding on to his leg,but never the less it was an opportunist
goal,or a gift if you wanna put it that way.
The opponents tried retaliating from the restart,but most of their
passes were cut out before they could come near our penalty
box.They had one or two corners but they weren't much of a
threat.It wasn't long before we went two up with a brilliant long
range lobbing kind of shot from manager Robin that caught the
keeper off his line.The score was Kachangpool 2 Liverpool 0
We have to give the opponents credit coz they still tried to fight
back and eventually got one back just b4 half time.The defence
failed to clear a loose ball at the edge of
the box and the striker finished the cross with a top corner
shot.
The second half started with our team having a new strikeforce and
midfield.We continued our fine attacking play,had a few shots
towards goal and even more calls for
offside as well.There were times when i felt that the referee
wasn't very accurate with his decisions,but
we can't say much can we?
As the second half ticked by,the opponents became more frustrated
with their defence who failed to clear the ball and often kicked it
out of play.They started playing hard and dirty,more concerned on
hacking our players than on the game
itself.Robin,Derrick,Ian,Kelvin and Jeremy were some of the players
at the end of some ruthless tackles,but
luckily no serious injuries.
The opponents beacame quite dis-orientated while our defence
continued to be rocksteady and tight like a virgin,and i can safely
say that our keeper Colin saw little of the ball,and was rather
bored.
The score remained 2-1 right up to the final whistle and victory
was sweet for the red boys who played their hearts out.
Hopefully this is the start of more wins to come....and honestly
looking at the 20 players donning the splendid red jerseys and
super short and sexy shorts,i wouldn't bet against it.
WELL DONE BOYS!!!!!
