Match Report

Hey... the scoreline today read 2-0 in favour of the SSC. We started the game a little shaky but settled within the first 10 mins. James put us ahead after some nice passing and also a slight lapse in the opposition defense. He managed to wriggle free of his markers to just slot the ball home early in the first half. The opposing team was struggling to maintain a foothold in the game and never really got much action in front of our goal, and the first half ended 1-0. One course of worry was when defensive midfielder Chris limped off with an ankle injury toward the end of the half.

Second half started with a few of the subs going in, Sean Tan, Shawn Kong, Jason, and Daryl replacing Ming, James, Alfred and Simon respectively. With the opponents making subs as well they allowed the SSC to gain momentum and almost complete control of the match. Midway through the second half, Sean and Shawn combined to produce our second goal and to seal off the match. Latching on to a through pass from Jason, Sean sent the ball in first time to send Shawn through on goal. After a few feigns and fakes, Shawn managed to pull free and squeezed a shot in from an acute angle with the keeper beaten. Afterward, Chris was restored to the middle of the park where he dictated the tempo and defended the back 4 with much authority. SSC had a few more shots on goal, but didnt managed to convert. On the whole, it was a solid performance from the team, with the younger ones particularly impressive.

Man of the match goes to Chris, whose commanding and tireless display in the middle of the midfield stablised the squad and linked up the defense and attack seamlessly. Job well done!

Jerseys and accounts

Just a quick one on jerseys and stuff... I'm going to buy 1 more extra jersey for the team. I've already got back 1 jersey from Alvin Choo. So for 2 jerseys, the cost is going to be $96.00. I'm going to presume that the team has 20 core members and it works out to be about $4.80 a person for the jerseys. For those who didnt know, i'm getting these jerseys for people who play for us but dont have our jersey.

On top of that, i'm suggesting that we all pay an extra 5 dollars for the next match we play in. It's to start a 'fund' so to speak so that we have cash up front to pay for refs and pitch if it is needed. Currently im doing it out of my own pocket and there are times where i dont get my all my money back.
As usual, if we use the 20 core member number it works out to be about $100.00 in the fund to play around with. If theres an issue with accountability of the cash, we can have 2 or more people looking after the 'accounts'. Sleep on this idea for awhile and let me know if you are all agreeable? Collection wont be all in 1 shot, will prob do it over 2 games. 1 for the jersey and 1 for the fund.

Thanks
