Team /S Caps Revival With Winning Start
Team /S 5 - 4 Team PTIs
(Brendon 3, Francis 2)
Since noone's bothered to write the report, and since I'm free, I shall be nice as usual and do the report.
So, after 6 months of inactivity, /S regrouped for a game last Sunday at Queensway Secondary. With the whole team suffering from a lack of match fitness, plus half the team suffering from hangovers, it wasn't exactly a comfort when we found out that our opponents were all PTIs.
The PTI's immediately proved that they were indeed, men from the Singapore army when they decided to take their pre-match pictures only after the referee came half an hour late when they had all the time in the world to do it before.
Anyways, the lack of match fitness plus the Henessey from the night before quickly claimed John as the first casualty about 30 minutes into the game. The team as a whole was sluggish and considering the line-up, it should have been a pretty easy game.
First blood went to the PTIs, although I cannot remember how they scored. /S equalised almost immediately when from a sick Lionel long throw that sailed over the entire defence and Brendon headed home. (he cannot throw one, our captain claims to have heard from the PTIs)
The PTIs hit back in the second half when a corner kick evaded everybody and someone was there to finish. But all the goal did was to wake /S up as they responded with 3 goals in quick succession, 2 from Francis and 1 from Brendon. 4-2!
With the game seemingly settled, /S turned sluggish and Kerk lost out to the PTI striker for a high ball and ended up with his neck pinned against the post crying out 'REF REF REF!' helplessly. The referee was unmoved. 4-3!
A long ball then bounced infront of Kerk while he was looking to the heavens and praying 'bu yao jing bu yao jing'. His prayers worked, as the ball hit the crossbar, but only for the PTI striker to put the rebound in. 4-4. Was the game turning into Korean Nightmare part 2?
The answer was NO . Brendon secured the victory and his hat-trick by scoring straight from the resulting kickoff. 5-4, and that was that.
A victory for /S first game since November.
