Tjioe powered ARFC's 4-0 win
ARFC continued its winning start after chalking up a comprehensive 4-0 win over YVFC at the brand-new artificial pitch at Crescent Girls Sec Sch in front of 777 screaming fans who are all upper secondary students of the school.
Probably due to the presence of the girls, ARFC warriors could not get their game going and the general performance was patchy at best. Despite the subdued performance, ARFC still did enough to score 4 goals.
Prior to the match, regular right-back Guoxiong was surprisingly dropped in favour of Blackburn. However, The New Paper journalists found out the reason was to give Guoxiong more time to talk and give autographs to the girl students there.
ARFC started with this line-up:
Keeper: Dependable Jinzhong
Right-back: Unpredictable Blackburn
Sweeper: Astute-reading sweeper Elvis
Stopper: Towering Toh
Left-back: Unbeatable Darren
Right-mid: Talisman Derrick
Centre-mid: Influential Sebastian
Centre-mid: Hard-man Tjioe
Left-mid: Dynamic Soon
Striker: Powerful Alvin
Striker: Wonder Wayne (captain)
Subs:

Marauding Guoxiong

Absent:

Sublime Khim
Long-throw specialist Norman
Combative Ron
Precocious En Dian

Talented Chun Haw
ARFC was really affected by the hot weather and the screaming fans but still dominated play with Tjioe in the thick of most action.
ARFC took the lead after a clever inter-change of play. Derrick played the ball to Alvin who returned the ball to him. Wayne showed great awareness when he did not go after the ball as he was already in the off-side position. Derrick broke through and calmly slotted the ball under the diving keeper. Soon ran in and touched the ball in but the referee had already blew for a goal. 1-0 and it was Derrick’s 48th ARFC goal which put him level on Khim.
ARFC had a huge scare when they struck the cross-bar.
ARFC doubled its lead with Alvin again the creator. Receiving the ball, Alvin put it through and in came Soon who dashed in and before their keeper could react, he reached the ball and the ball rolled quickly into the net for his 38th ARFC goal! 2-0
Hee, Guoxiong and Haron then came on for Sebastian, Darren and Wayne respectively.
Derrick then turned creator when he provided a slide-rule pass for Haron to latch on. With a great first touch, Haron glided into the box before finishing with much aplomb for his 175th ARFC goal. 3-0
ARFC then turned complacent again and nearly conceded a goal on a couple of occasions. To shore things up at the back, Wayne and Darren replaced Blackburn and Elvis to provide some bite.
In the 2nd half, ARFC really struggled to string 3 passes together though chances were created. Haron put the ball over the bar after being put through by Sebastian while Hee rushed his shot too much.
Toh then took a vicious cannot shot on his head but being Towering Toh, he stood tall and was totally unaffected.
Alvin finally put the icing on the cake with a late goal from a world-class team goal. The ball was passed to Darren at left-back who then played the ball to Blackburn’s feet just outside the box. With a clever reverse pass, Blackburn tricked their defender and the ball found its way to Derrick on the right wing. Taking the ball inwards, Derrick shaped to shoot but instead squared the ball across. Alvin then gleefully swooped in and swept the ball home for his 158th ARFC goal. 4-0 and this was a goal that reminded all of the great Liverpool team in the 80s and the current Barcelona team.
Man-of-the Match is clearly Tjioe though I must say that Derrick, Alvin and Elvis came very close.

ARFC off to winning start in 2012
ARFC got off to a winning start in 2012 after overcoming a determined Liverland FC 2-1 at bedok Green Sec Sch courtesy of a late winning goal from Soon. The victory was witness by Anna and Tracie, WAGs of Elvis and Guoxiong respectively.
Incidentally, ARFC had also got off to a winning start in 2011 with the same score-line, a 2-1 win over The OC with a brace from Haron.
Special mention to Tze Ern who turned up after being conferred a 7-star General by MINDEF. Unfortunately, he was not fielded as he forgot to bring his contact lenses.
ARFC started with this line-up:
Keeper: Dependable Jinzhong
Right-back: Marauding Guoxiong
Sweeper: Unpredictable Blackburn
Stopper: Hard-man Tjioe
Left-back: Unbeatable Darren
Right-mid: Long-throw specialist Norman

ARFC clearly had the upper hand but was unable to convert its early chances. Particularly, Hee was just slightly late (despite his world-renowned speed) in meeting Haron’s square ball across the 6-yard box.
Alvin and Derrick then came on for Hee and Norman respectively.
Within mins of coming on, Alvin powered his way down the left flank and crossed the ball in. The ball flew over everybody to reach Derrick who came charging in from the right flank. He attempted a volley but failed to connect but the ball fell kindly to him. He then slided the ball across to Haron but the latter just failed to get a clean connection and the ball trickled out.
ARFC took the lead in the 27th min. Alvin’s well-floated corner was met by Derrick who despite the challenge of their big keeper, managed to glanced home for his 47th ARFC goal. 1-0
Elvis then replaced Sebastian with Blackburn moving up to centre mid to partner Soon. Hee also came on for Khim who requested to be substituted.
Despite having almost nothing to do in the 1st half, Jinzhong was still alert and this was evidenced by his brilliant save towards the end of the half. Their striker broker through and looked to score but was thwarted by Jinzhong’s superb save with his legs ala Edwin van da Sar.
In the 2nd half, ARFC continued to dominate proceedings but was let down by some poor finishing. Haron had a fantastic chance when he made his way down the right side and his stinging volley was just 0.77 inches over the bar.
Haron had an even better chance mins later. Sebastian’s long and high diagonal to the left wing was latched on perfectly by Khim who first-timed the ball into the penalty area near the penalty spot. Haron ran in and the whole stadium and live audience throughout the world were already anticipating a goal but Haron inexplicably fired the ball to row Z!! Unfortunate miss but what great awareness and positioning.
Khim then wriggled his way inwards but his shot for the top corner was clawed away by their impressive keeper. Unlucky!
Alvin also showed his might when he chased down a couple of through balls but was unable to find a shooting chance.
The opponent then scored from a break-away chance. 1-1
Soon had an excellent chance to restore ARFC’s lead when he was put clean through by both Khim and Blackburn. Facing their keeper one-on-one inside the box, Soon somehow drilled his shot about 1.77 metres wide!
After relentless pressure, ARFC finally secured the victory with a late goal from Soon. Sebastian’s corner was met by Derrick (who seemed to inherit Toh’s heading prowess) and the ball was trapped by Soon who was standing in front of their keeper inside the 6-yard box. Instinctively, Soon executed a sharp turn and put the ball into the net for his 37th ARFC goal! 2-1
For this match, total credit must be given to Tjioe who gamely played the stopper position without complaint and subsequently put in a colossal performance ala Nemanja Vidic! For this, he is given the Man-of-the-Match award though Elvis, Soon and Khim all came close.

Wayne notched his 1st-ever ARFC hat-trick in 5-3 victory
For the 1st time since 30 Oct 2011, ARFC played a proper 11-a-side soccer match against Westminister at the brand-new artificial pitch at Premier Pitch located at Tessensohn Road on 28 Dec 2011.
Watched by Anna (wife of Elvis), Sebastian conjured up a totally unorthodox line-up with all starting 11 warriors playing out of position as follows:
Keeper: Brenden (guest keeper)
Right-back: Influential Sebastian
Sweeper: Steely Tze Ern
Stopper: Unpredictable Blackburn
Left-back: Marauding Guoxiong
Right-mid: Dynamic Soon
Centre-mid: Talisman Derrick
Centre-mid: Astute-reading sweeper Elvis

ARFC Scoring Legend Haron
With such an unfamiliar-looking line-up, it was no surprise that ARFC took a while to settle down and quickly conceded a goal. 0-1
ARFC launched a fight-back and in the 17th min, Sebastian’s floated free-kick into the far post area hit the upright and other warriors could not capitalize on the rebound.
ARFC equalized courtesy of a determined Wayne who was in scintillating form all night. Holding off the challenge, Wayne unleashed a shot that took a wicked deflection and wrong-footed their keeper for his 3rd ARFC goal. 1-1
ARFC again fell behind mins later. 1-2
Wayne again put ARFC back on level terms with yet another determined run into the box. With the ball up in the air following some melee in the box, Wayne out-jumped their keeper to nod in his 4th ARFC goal 2-2
Brenden then came out with 2 good saves and special mention must be given to him for firstly agreeing to play guest keeper for us at the last min and also putting up a decent performance as keeper.
Alvin then came on for the tiring Guoxiong and he was shocked to find out that he would be playing at left-back. However, he gamely accepted the position in line with the unorthodox line-up. Alvin was to put in a more than decent performance as left-back and with that performance, he has established himself as the 3rd-choice left-back, after Darren and Ron.
Wayne completed his 1st-ever hat-trick in ARFC colours in the 37th min. ARFC won a free-kick and with the opponents still lining up for the wall, Wayne played the ball off Sebastian to Derrick who was already lurking in the box. Derrick duly played a wall-pass to Wayne who then glided into the box and dispatched a stiff grounder that beat their keeper for his 5th ARFC goal! 3-2
With his hat-trick, Wayne became the 20th ARFC warrior to score a hat-trick in a match. Of the 20 warriors, these are the active ARFC warriors:
Alvin (14 hat-tricks – 47 goals);
Haron (11 hat-tricks – 37 goals);
Blackburn (5 hat-tricks – 15 goals);
Hee (4 hat-tricks – 14 goals);
Sebastian (4 hat-tricks – 12 goals);
Derrick (2 hat-tricks – 9 goals);
Tjioe (2 hat-tricks – 7 goals);
Soon, Guoxiong and Wayne (1 hat-trick each – 3 goals each)
Guoxiong then came in for Toh at striker and towards the end Soon took a hit and was replaced by Toh.
In the 2nd half, ARFC resumed to its normal positioning with Wayne taking a well-earned break.
Keeper: Brenden (guest keeper)
Right-back: Marauding Guoxiong
Sweeper: Astute-reading sweeper Elvis
Stopper: Towering Toh
Left-back: Unbeatable Darren
Right-mid: Talisman Derrick
Centre-mid: Influential Sebastian
Centre-mid: Dynamic Soon
Left-mid: Steely Tze Ern
Striker: Unpredictable Blackburn
Striker: Powerful Alvin
Subs:
Wonder Wayne
Unsurprisingly, ARFC took complete control of proceedings in the 2nd half but was unable to turn the domination into more goals.
Off Sebastian’s throw-in, Alvin then came up with a cheeky back-flick that unfortunately struck the cross-bar.
Tze Ern then ran onto a flowing ball down the left flank and unleashed a first-timer that flew narrowly wide.
Toh also somehow misconnected with his head from Blackburn’s corner.
Wayne then replaced Blackburn and within mins of coming on, Wayne turned creator when he played the ball out wife left to Tze Ern who also had a fantastic game. Without breaking his stride, Tze Ern chipped the ball all the way from the left wing area over their keeper for his 5th ARFC goal 4-2.
ARFC then conceded a goal from an indirect free-kick. 4-3
However, ARFC regained the lead almost immediately when Tze Ern (or Darren?) lobbed a delicious ball down the left area for Alvin to power his way into the box before calmly outside-footed the ball home with his right foot for his 157th ARFC goal. 5-3
Man-of-the-Match must be given to Wayne with Tze Ern closely behind.
