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.
