Playing against 7-men (8-men for 2nd half) Nitroz, ARFC equalled its best-ever victory with a 14-0 win at the Bowen SS artificial pitch. Witnessing the record-equalling triumph were Su + Afiqah (Haron's lovely family), Ron's wife as well as Rayes, Derrick's cute son.
ARFC starting 11 were:
Dependable Jinzhong (GK);
Hard-running Guoxiong (RB)
Combative Ron (Sweeper)
Towering Toh (Stopper)
Unpredictable Blackburn (LB)
Dynamic Soon (LM)
Talisman Derrick (RM)
Influential Sebastian (CM)
Hardman Tjioe (CM)
ARFC scoring legend Haron (SC)
Powerful Alvin (SC)
Subs were speedy Hee and nippy Kenny
Haron opened the floodgates after just 3 mins courtesy of an assist by Derrick for his 152nd ARFC goal. Thereafter, the 1st-half scorers were Alvin, Toh, Tjioe, Blackburn and Sebastian for a 6-0 lead at the interval.
After the break, ARFC did not relent and scored 8 more goals through, Haron, Alvin(2), Derrick, Blackburn (2), Hee and Guoxiong who rounded off the score-line with a penalty.
After the penalty, the referee immediately stopped the match which was by then only at 60 mins or less. To its credit, ARFC accepted the decision without any slightest form of protest.
Credit should given to ARFC for not displaying a complacent attitude and most importantly, were serious in the match without any mocking or anything of that sort.
Special mention to Nitroz as well for gamesmanship and played on despite only 7 players though for the 2nd half, they had a guest goal-keeper.
Hee;s goal also finally enabled him to move past Robin at 70 goals and for that, he will be given a trophy this coming Sunday (or Thursday night at Tampines SAFRA).
Though Alvin and Blackburn scored hat-trick respectively, Man-of-the-Match must be given to Derrick for creating 5 goals in the 1st half, scoring with a header in the 2nd half and finally won the penalty which was converted by Guoxiong.
