Couple of new or irregular players, and many players who do not qualify for the selectors poll, so I will discuss line ups with 2 captains. Captains poll added.

3 players have 1 vote each.

I suggest:

....

For Team 1, Naren and Kelvin have 1 vote each, but Naren has played more games in the current 6 month period (13 to 10) so he can be captain. For Team 2, Wilson has 1 vote, so he can be captain. Captains can agree on colours.

Naren requested red. No other comments, so line ups, captains and colours confirmed as follows:

Reds: Guolong, Kong Fei, Alfred, Kelvin Han, Sean R, Naren (c), Thomas
Whites: Calvin, Patrick, Wilson Lim (c), Kelvin Neo, Matthew, Arjay, Jakub

Everyone, please be early.

....

Please post reports and comments on the game below.

Game started with whites down a man for the first 8 minutes as arjay arrived slightly late.

Whites ironically managed to hold till he was about to enter the field and then suddenly conceded.

But the whites managed to equalise soon enough and then the game was on.

Both teams then played great ground football with good touches and runs only to be let down by some wayward finishing.

Game was even at 4-4 at about the 40 minute mark before whites finally made the breakthrough by scoring two and holding on for the remaining 15 minutes.

Lights went off at the 55 minute mark and we decided to play for a final goal before calling it a day. After a series of rapid counterattacks red scored and we ended it at 6-5 in favor to the whites.

Ball credit to calvin.

Injury list:
Jacob had a severe bruise from a leg clash

2. Wilson landed awkwardly on his own ankle after jumping to intercept a ball.

Hope we can both recover in time for next week.

Game was even mostly because there were mostly attacking players on the whites ( me, Patrick, Kelvin neo, Arjay and jakub) and defending players on reds ( Naren, Alfred, Kelvin Han, Kong Fei). So in the end especially for reds attacking players had to play in defence

$1 credit to Wilson for a first report for Whites. $1 credit to Wilson and Naren as captains. $1 ball credit to Calvin. $1 credit to Calvin for a second report for Whites.
