Reds: Ian (c), Philip, Shamir, Neil, Melvin
Whites: Senthil (c), Sivaraj, John, Ling Chong, Sven

A competitive and well fought game at The Cage ended 10-6 to Whites, who were worthy winners on the night.

The early exchanges saw the teams trading goals but Whites eventually pulled away at the halfway mark with a 3-goal cushion and whenever Reds reduced the arrears, Whites responded promptly and they eventually extended the lead by 4 goals - a margin they maintained to the end.

The main difference between the teams was that Reds relied more on flashes of individual skill, whereas Whites played more as a compact amd cohesive unit.

$2 credit to Ian for a first report. $1 credit to each of Ian and Senthil as team selectors.
