In its match on
08 Nov 2015, ARFC came up against a clearly-superior Inglorious FC and despite
playing one of its better matches, ARFC still lost 1-4.
ARFC also welcomed back Hee from his recent happy marriage to Melissa who, however, was not present.

ARFC played one
of its best-ever first 20 minutes of a match by pressing the opponents
relentlessly, with both Alvin and Hee giving their defence plenty of
nightmares.
In our defence,
the back four did not even let a fly into its rearguard.
ARFC almost
took the lead when Chun Haw’s fiercely-struck free-kick was tipped over by
their flying GK.
Off a corner
kick, Alvin played a short corner and the ball went to Chun Haw but he put his
shot too close to their GK.
The opponents
then scored 2 goals. 0-2 at half-time.
ARFC pulled a goal
back within 7 minutes of the re-start. From left midfield, Khim chipped in a
delicious ball to Alvin who had pulled away to the left. Without breaking his stride, Alvin immediately
laid a grounder to the centre and Hee sped in to simply toe-poke the ball which
then rolled past their stunned GK and defenders. Superb team goal.
1-0 and this
was Hee’s 101st ARFC goal. What a good way to commemorate his recent wedding.
However, ARFC conceded
2 more goals to lose 1-4.
Despite the
3-goal defeat, ARFC actually played one of its better matches and with some
luck, we might have narrowed the scoreline.
Most encouraging
was also the attendance.
