Pre-NS enlistee Weilit captained ARFC's 3-1 triumph
In his last ARFC
match before his NS enlistment 2 days later, Weilit put up arguably his best
performance in an ARFC shirt to captain ARFC to a 3-1 victory over Wolfpack FC.
ARFC was
supported by Lingzhi, Ron’s beautiful and gorgeous wife.

ARFC signaled its
intent with an all-out attacking epitomised by Chun Haw’s and Tjioe’s repeated
forays near their penalty area.
Kenny shocked
the opponents with just 177 seconds gone. Picking up a loose ball from 47
metres out, Kenny swiveled sharply and crashed in a beautiful and powerful left-foot
bender that caught their GK by surprise. Before anyone knew it, the ball
already hit the net. 1-0 and this was Kenny’s 54th ARFC goal.
After a few
more chances from Alvin and Kenny, ARFC conceded a highly controversial goal as
3 of the opponents were clearly offside when they scored. 1-1
ARFC then
wasted a golden opportunity to restore its lead 7 mins later. After a series of
twists and turns, Weilit was clumsily tripped by their defender. In a typical
selfish move, Blackburn did not even want to fulfill Weilit’s wish for a
potential goal before NS or help Sebastian to reach his ARFC centurion goal
faster by dashing all the way from his right back position to take the penalty.
The end result?
He placed the ball against the post and bounced out.
Surprisingly,
not a single ARFC warrior screamed at his wastefulness and selfishness. Credit
to all ARFC warriors.
Alvin was then
put clean through after a dummy from Kenny. Staring down at their GK, their
recovering defender made a stunning last-min sliding block before Alvin could
pull the trigger.
From the corner
taken by Sebastian, Toh headed slightly wide.
ARFC was not to
be denied soon. Under the watchful eyes of Lingzhi, Ron chipped in an audacious
lob ball for Kenny to break the off-side and faced their GK one-on-one. In such
a situation, there is usually one outcome – goal from Kenny. 2-1 and this was
Kenny’s 55th ARFC goal.
Kenny could
have gotten his 3rd-ever hat-trick if not for yet another lousy call
from the lousy referee. Alvin’s ball from the left area saw Kenny running in with
a perfect run from deep. After lifting the ball over their GK, the referee
ruled that Kenny was offside! Totally blind.
In the 2nd
half, ARFC kept up its relentless pressure. First, Toh was adjudged to have unlawfully
climbed above their defender after scoring from a header from Sebastian’s
corner.
Then, Alvin
chipped into row ZZ after Chun Haw put him through.
Kenny follow
suit when he fired wide after a pass from Tjioe.
Hee then
suffered the same fate after he lofted the ball wide after a perfect high ball
from Sebastian.
ARFC finally
put the result to bed in the 67th min. Toh once again connected sweetly
with Sebastian’s corner but the ball was blocked and half-cleared. Weilit
picked up the loose ball just slightly outside the box, twisted his body and
screwed in a low shot that eluded the seas of players in the box to hit the
net. Wonderful goal!! 3-1 and this was
Weilit’s 12th ARFC goal.
ARFC conjured
more chances but were unable to add to the scoreline.
Voting results:
Kenny – 6
Tjioe – 6
Elvis – 6
Weilit – 6
Chun Haw – 4
Ron – 3
Toh – 3
Ismail – 1
Guoxiong – 1

The opponents
then scored twice, with their 2nd goal clearly from an offside
position, to lead 2-1 at half-time.
ARFC suffered
yet another bad luck when opponent handled the ball before scoring. ARFC
warriors immediately surrounded the inept referee ala Man United players during
Fergie era but to no avail. 1-3
Instead of
drowning in sorrow, ARFC drew strength from adversity. In the 60th
min, Chun Haw was hacked down at the left just outside the penalty box.
Blackburn did a decoy step-over and Alvin then bent the ball down the centre.
Their GK looked to have the ball well covered but perhaps frightened by the
imposing figure of Toh charging in, he somehow allowed the ball to go between
his legs! 2-3 and this was Alvin’s 262nd ARFC goal.
ARFC drew level
5 mins later. From yet another potent Blackburn corner, Toh made a fair
challenge on their GK who then dropped the ball. Gary picked up the loose ball
and laid to the onrushing Chun Haw who simply cracked a first-time volley into
the bottom left corner. World class goal! 3-3 and this was Chun Haw’s 32nd
ARFC goal.
ARFC took the
lead 5 mins later. Darren, who looked to
be back to his best, stopped their attack and pushed the ball upfield. Chun Haw retrieved the ball, duly dribbled
past 3 opponents and let fly a rocket to the top right corner, giving their GK,
in fact any GK in the world, no chance at all. 4-3 and this was Chun Haw’s 33rd
ARFC goal.
ARFC put the
result beyond doubt 5 mins later. From a
counter-attack, Blackburn’s left-wing cross resulted in a chaotic scene in
their penalty area. Jerry’s initial shot
was blocked but the ball fell kindly to him and he needed no second invitation
to place the ball home for his 2nd ARFC goal. 5-3
Voting results:
Chun Haw – 7
Darren – 7
Ron – 4
Jinzhong – 3
Hee – 1
Toh – 1
Alvin – 1
