The covered small pitch at Premier Pitch is not available next Tuesday (6 June 2017). Instead of switching to the adjoining uncovered pitch this time, I've booked an uncovered 5-a-side pitch at Rainforest Sport Hub, which is bigger. Although it is bigger, I'll still limit numbers to 5-a-side. It would ordinarily work out at $11 per player, but as this is the first time we're trying this pitch, I'll subsidise the game, and reduce it to $10 per player.

Anthony has 2 votes, and is one team selector. Ian and Yaseen have 1 vote each, less than the minimum required, but either can be team selector. They have both played 7 games in the current 6 month period, so the one with more games over the past 3 years will be the other team selector. That would be Ian with 76 games (Yaseen with 58).

I suggested line ups. Ian and Anthony agreed to swap teams. Anthony chose white, Ian had no preference. Line ups, captains and colours confirmed as follows:

Whites: Philip, Calvin, Aschkan, Anthony (c), Lars
Reds: Ian (c), Sushil, Yaseen, Poh Keng, Diego

Everyone, please be early.

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

Both teams started out even and there were only one or two goals between them for most of the game. The field was smaller than the usual one so it was important that the pass was accurate. After 45 mins, Red got into a 4 goal lead as players started to tire. White tried to close the gap but failed to equalise. Final score was 14-12 to Red.

$2 credit to Anthony for a first report. $1 credit to each Anthony and Ian as team captains.
