In the 9^th min, ARFC opened the scoring after Chun Haw latched on to Blackburn’s corner and hit a fierce shot that was handled on the line by their defender.  Alvin stepped up to send their GK the wrong way from the spot.  1-0 and this was Alvin’s 295^th ARFC goal.

ARFC doubled its lead 9 mins later.  From a quick counter-attack, Kenny left their defender eating dust when he raced down the left flank and hit a precise ball to Alvin.  Though Alvin only managed to connect with his shoulder, their GK was somehow caught off-guard and could not keep out the ball though he got a touch to it.  2-0 and this was Alvin’s 296^th ARFC goal.

In the 2^nd half, ARFC quickly pulled ahead just 2 mins from the re-start.  Chun Haw continued his impressive performance when he dribbled past several opponents down the left, cut inside their covering defender before dispatching a rocket to the top left corner.  World-class goal! 3-0 and this was Chun Haw’s 62^nd ARFC goal, putting him on level terms with Tjioe.

ARFC then inexplicably conceded 2 soft goals.

In the 67^th min, Larry won the ball in the middle of the park and delivered a brilliant through ball to Alvin. With a powerful burst of speed, Alvin bored down on their GK and the end result is beyond reasonable doubt. 4-2 and this was Alvin’s 297^th ARFC goal and 27^th ARFC hat-trick.

In the 77^th min, Wayne received a through ball from Blackburn on the right, put the ball between the opponent’s legs and headed towards goal.  Though Wayne could have scored himself, he was unselfish and squared the ball to the onrushing Alvin who gleefully tapped the ball into the empty net. 5-2 and this was Alvin’s 298^th ARFC goal.

With his goal, Alvin has scored a remarkable 90 goals just from his 27 ARFC hat-tricks alone.

In the 80^th min came the goal and move of the match.  Alvin picked up the ball in the middle of the pitch and fizzed a ball down the left flank for the overlapping Darren.  In a Roberto Carlos-like move, Darren sprinted down the left flank before crossing a dangerous-looking ball.  Hearing a shout from behind, Wayne then dummied the ball and Larry simply thumped home his 2^nd ARFC goal. 6-2.
