ARFC slumped to a crushing 1-7 defeat


On a Deepavali weekend match, ARFC was really generous in giving away 3 “gift-goals” in the first half to a Indian team and eventually was whipped 1-7 by them.

In all honesty, however, our opponents were really a class above ARFC and I would even venture to say that they are even better than Team BI. If not for How Meng’s heroics in goal, ARFC would have suffered a record defeat already.

ARFC was once again supported by Melissa (Hee’s super-beautiful muse) and Winnie (Chun Haw’s super-cute girlfriend).  

ARFC started with this line-up:

Keeper - Impeccable How Meng
Right-back - Resolute Jasper
Sweeper - Unbeatable Darren
Stopper - Towering Toh
Left-back - Marauding Guoxiong  
Left-mid - Skillful Weilit
Centre-mid - Talented Chun Haw
Centre-mid - Dynamic Soon
Right-mid - Talisman Derrick
Striker - Unpredictable Blackburn
Striker - Powerful Alvin (captain)
  
Subs:

Dependable Jinzhong
Speedy Hee (late)
Influential Sebastian (late)
Steely Tze Ern (late)

Absent:

ARFC Scoring Legend Haron
Astute-reading sweeper Elvis
Combative Ron
Wonder Wayne
Nippy Kenny
Sublime Khim
Composed Jackson
Hard-man Tjioe
Booming Boon
Jiawei



From their first meaningful attack, ARFC conceded a goal. 0-1

ARFC then conceded another goal after a goal-mouth melee. 0-2

ARFC then fell behind from their long-rang shot. 0-3.

ARFC then showed amateurish defending from a free-kick to go down 0-4.

ARFC had a couple of half-chances but all came to nought.

In the 2nd half, ARFC put up a better display thanks in a large part to Darren being shifted to left-back. With him there, their right-winger could not even get past him at all. Totally no chance!

ARFC nevertheless still conceded another 2 goals. 0-6

Alvin had a golden chance when he was put clean through by Blackburn but his first touch was very heavy and the chance was gone.

ARFC finally pulled a goal back after another impressive assist from Hee whose cross was headed in by Chun Haw for his 23rd ARFC goal.1-6

Chun Haw’s goal also put him on level terms with the first-generation ARFC scoring legend, David.

Chun Haw could have made it a brace but his snatch shot was hurried.

Derrick was next presented with a golden opportunity from Soon’s artistry and industry but his hesitation resulted in his shot being blocked superbly by their defender.

ARFC then conceded another goal to go down 1-7.

There is no voting for this colossal loss but my personal Man-of-the-Match goes to How Meng.
