Saturday, 28 January 2017 - Premier Pitch @ G'stand (2)

First day of the Chinese New Year, and it looked like we only had enough for a small pitch, but with 3 additional players this morning, we got to 14, enough for a 7-a-side. From the schedule thread:

I suggest:

....

The player on each team with the most number of games in the current 6 month period, and has not specifically opted out as captain, can be captain. That would be Raj for Team 1 (with 23) and Jye for Team 2 (with 21). Captains can agree on colours.

Apart from colour requests by other players, Jye requested red, and Raj agreed. Apart from some concern by Babs, no other comments, so line ups, captains and colours confirmed as follows:

Whites: Raj (c), Chen Hong, Richard, Jason, Darren, Yaseen, Zach
Reds: Babs, Jye (c), Jake, Liren, Ben Backx, Nordin, Hari

Everyone, please be early.

After the game, please post reports and comments on the game below.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ball credit please

On a lazy saturday rainy evening thats more suited for resting in bed, it was a tough time coming to play. Was a good balance of players from both side. 7 aside made it more free for players to roam and attack but also meant its a tad tiring and more space to cover back. Was scrappy at times but played in good spirits. Final score 4 - 4

Cant believe players like Jye, Nordin and Cheng hong still have the mettle and iron in them playing football at a high level still. Laudable feat.

$2 credit to Yaseen for a first report. $1 credit to each of Raj and Jye as team captains. $1 ball credit to Jye.
