Match Report 10.03.07

Once again, Everton park was the battleground. The sun was at her very best this afternoon draining our energy. The game started brilliantly for us with an early goal scored by Cheeky Chan latching on to a long ball by someone (great pass "someone") then shooting into the bottom corner. Miscommunication amongst the defence lead to our opponents equalizer. Hot afternoons leads to heated games, and today was no exception. A scuffle broke out but was quickly settled by the ref who had a superb game, showing authority with his whistle (great job "Ref"). SSC had good linkups with the strikers and mid fielders and we had continuous attack, however the captain (someone) just couldn't find the net in a few occasions, he sure wasn't a happy puppy. A lack of communication and a mix up in the penalty box lead to the opponents scoring a second goal. SCC went into halftime trailing 2-1.

The second half started. SSC played a superb midfield game with Derek's surprising work rate and Tany's creativity both showing great determination to win the ball and with the wings doing what they do best, not forgetting Chad with attacking options. SSC got into the game with the defence tightening up and working as a unit (great job defence). However, a corner was sent in and an unfortunate bounce resulted into an unfortunate own goal.

Hope was restored with great link up by SSC. One-two play between Tany and Chen then found its way to Shawn Kong who turned away from the defender and gave a sublime through pass (to make up for his misses) to Cheeky who beat the keeper at the near post.Time ran out for SSC and the game ended 3-2 to the opponents.

Frankly i thought a very good game was played by the team. The opponents rarely tested Eddie but our errors gifted them with their goals. Man of the match goes to Derek Ong who surprised us all by running and controlling the midfield, what a player!
See you soon Cheeky (he goes back tonight), thanks for the goals.
