Kelvin was concerned that Reds are at a disadvantage. In any event, perhaps not a good idea to have all the new players with Reds. I'll swap the last named (Glenn T) to Whites.

Revised line ups:

Whites: Rai, Eric Y, Hail, Boon Yick, Glenn T, Mark T, Bobby
Reds: Chris S, Rajiv, Eam, Kelvin Au, Justin, Wayne, Chen Hong

Any other comments?

Everyone, please bring both a white top and a red top in any event.

"While the memory is fresh" ....

Although Reds levelled at 1-1 after Whites scored first, Reds went 4-1 and 7-4 up.

However, Reds did really well to come back to win 8-7.

Chris, playing for only for the second time in ages, was nervous at right back to begin with, and Whites exploited it by scoring several goals down from the left.

Reds conceded several soft goals (including me letting a long ball from the Whites goal go through me while I was in goal to make it 2-5 - I blame the lights ).

However, in coming back to win, Reds also scored a few soft goals, with Whites not clearing the ball.

Good game overall. Both sides had good spells, but Reds deserved their win for keeping going until the end. At 7-4 up, Whites might have taken their foot off the pedal.

Add any other comments below.

Agree with Rajiv ... good competitive game overall and kudos to the Reds for playing till the "final whistle" while the White simply tired out and completely lost its our discipline towards the last 20 mins.

General observation: Everyone is likely to go thro period of the game whereby we simply run out of gas. But instead of just staying upfront and "try" to score goals and not chasing back, it would be more efficient staying at the back and try to defend and attack on the break and at the same time "refilling" our tanks. It should always be "mind over body" and not vice versa : )

Anyway hope we can find enough players to bring back the Thurs night game at the Sports Planet. Cheers

I've quoted you on another thread.
