Songbo FC scraps out another 1-0 win

Songbo Fc is in a mini crisis. Once again SB started off the warm up session without a full 11 players on the pitch. SB squad is paper-thin. Players are divided between different commitments. (Basketball work gf and even duties). It is well rumored that a senior player claims to do duty despite doing duty the previous day. According to SAF standing order nobody is allowed to do consecutive duties. So I strongly suspect there are people who are playing around the system and using various excuses to miss matches.

In the mist of doing warm up Kelvin and Jackie turned up to the delight of the team. Firstly there are enough players for SB and secondly someone else is sponsoring the year end event. Before the game kick off kaicheng came, credit must be given to him for coming down despite commitments outside.

The whistle goes off as both team started off cautiously. Our weak midfield is never ever going to stamp authority in any match against half decent team. As the match went on the gulf between players shown as opponent had close to 70% procession. But SB uses their good organization to contain the opponent as they could not even master a shot at our star GK papa. Their No 8 had a bad day out in the field as he had to leave the pitch with a bloody **** head after Kenny came out better during a clash of head. To add wound to the injury Jeremy scored an easy goal for SB. His striker instinct put him at the right place to put the rebound back to the net after the GK spill an RJ shot that was straight at him. It was badly rumored that he did not dare to score when that someone is around and the goal sort of prove the rumor right.

The second half started off with rain pouring. The rain slow down both teams and concentration need to be at its maximum as vision is affected and bounce of the ball became unpredictable. But SB warriors stand strong and be counted. Every player plays their part in setting up a wall which the opponent never really overcome. OC Tan deserve special mention as he look like Dennis Irwin playing at left back. He looks like veteran in the left back position despite in the position less than 5 times. His lack of match fitness was not even seen. Kenny did a good job covering when the old guard was taken out. With such a decent backline SB would be a match for most of the team around. Once an again our teamwork understanding and organization prove too strong for a team who are technically much better than us. What different SB from others is that we have 10+ yrs of friendship behind us. This friendship is the key to all success.

HUAT AH!

**Special thanks for kaicheng who stand in the rain with the team and papa for being with us despite being late for work appointment.

(Pardon me for a lousy report as I am back in camp doing high key)
