ARFC still winless in 2016

ARFC continued its dismal start in 2016 by slumping to a bizarre 0-4 defeat by The Better Team.  With the defeat, ARFC has yet to taste victory in the 4 matches it had played in 2016 so far.

21	Rampaging Raymond
28	Hard-man Tjioe
45	Commanding Ismail
66	Wonder Wayne
78	Steely Tze Ern
99	Powerful Alvin

 

The match was only 7 mins old when it started to rain.  With the rain, ARFC bizarrely conceded 3 quick goals in succession.

 

In the 2^nd half, ARFC launched waves after waves of attack but just could not find the net.

 

The opponents then scored a goal from counter-attack to win 4-0.

Kenny – 9

Ron – 7

Soon – 5

Derrick – 5

Toh – 4

In the 60^th min, ARFC earned a penalty and Blackburn immediately showed Hee’s speed by dashing upfield and brushed aside all aspiring warriors to take the spot-kick.  He was spot-on with his 148^th ARFC goal. 2-1
