ARFC took a while to get used to their physical tackles with Derrick bearing the brunt the most.

ARFC opened the scoring in the 17^th min. Guoxiong popped a delicious ball down the right flank that saw Wayne breaking away in delight. With their keeper to beat, Wayne showed that he is unselfish when he squared the ball across after drawing out their keeper. The on-rushing Alvin had the easiest of easiest task to simply tap the ball into the unguarded net for his 200^th ARFC goal!!!!  1-0.

After scoring, Alvin took off his top, swung 7 times above his head and wheeled away in delirious fashion. After seeing his bulging muscles bouncing up and down, all the SYTs and PRC PDMMs present could not tahan anymore and started stripping off their tops in their efforts to entice and seduce Alvin. However, Alvin turned them down as he is now a changed man – a total family man.

The opponents then equalized in the most bizarre manner when the referee awarded an extremely soft penalty after the ball hit Darren. 1-1.

ARFC then spurned a few chances.

In the 27^th min, Guoxiong was put clean through by Blackburn. He sprinted clear, rounded their keeper and looked to have scored his 16^th ARFC goal. Unfortunately, he took an extra touch and his follow-up shot was incredibly cleared away by their back-tracking defender.

Derrick and Kenny were having a field day down the flanks with their dominating penetrative runs at right and left flank respectively. However, their efforts were not rewarded with goals.

ARFC regained the lead about 7 mins after the re-start. Sebastian played a low venomous slide-rule pass ala Jamie Redknapp/Xabi Alonso and Alvin came from deep and totally shattered their offside trap. With only their keeper to beat, Alvin could have gone for goal himself but he remembered Wayne’s kindness earlier. Alvin then squared the ball across and Kenny gleefully steered the ball in for his 18^th ARFC goal. 2-1

ARFC conjured several more chances but no goals.

In the 67^th min, Sebastian scored ARFC’s 3^rd goal. Chun Haw showed his great awareness when he cleverly won a free-kick just outside the box at the inner left area. Sebastian regained his deadly dead-ball skills when he plonked the ball right through the wall to beat their keeper at his near post. 3-1 and this was Sebastian’s 84^th ARFC goal.

7 mins later, ARFC had a goal disallowed. Sebastian threaded a no-look pass down the right flank and there was BLACKBURN (!!!!!) who turned back the clock in the early 90s when he galloped down the right flank. His low cross was turned in by Wayne but the referee correctly ruled that Wayne was offside.

Man-of-the-Match is jointly given to Darren, Jinzhong, Derrick and Hee.

200-goal hero Alvin was clearly over the moon. Speaking to xinmsn.com in Mandarin, Alvin beamed:

“I want to thank all warriors all these years for creating the 200 goals for me. I never imagined that I would be the first ARFC warrior to reach 200 goals, especially since I could not even score in my first few matches for ARFC. Last but not least, I want to thank my wife, Irene, for allowing me to go for ARFC matches and staying at home to do all the housework.”

“To celebrate, I will be organizing a whole-night booze-dance-sex session soon…. All are welcome….Watch out for details of the session on WHATSAPP…..”
