We'll go ahead 5-a-side. I suggest:

The player on each team with the most number of games in the current 6 month period can be captain. That would be Anthony for Team 1 with 42 games and Wilson for Team 2 with 19 games. Naren requested red.

A suprisingly close game in the end with the whites clinging on to a one goal lead to secure the victory.

It was all one way traffic in the first 20 mins by red to build up a commanding lead.

But as the game went on the whites grew stronger while the reds wilted from exhaustion and lost their defensive cohesion.

The whites then turned it around with numerous 1on1 opportunities, a penalty, a mazy dribble by Kevin as well as a nice deflection on a corner to end up leading 9 to 7.

The reds were now chasing the game down scoring one more before the time ran out on them.

Ball credit to Wilson lim

Red was leading by 2 to 3 goals for most of the game before White came back to equalise at 7-all 15 minutes from time. White then took the lead and won the game. Final score was around 10-8 to White.

$1 credit to each of Wilson and Anthony for a first report for Reds and Whites respectively. $1 credit to each of Wilson and Anthony as captains. $1 ball credit to Wilson.
