match report

4th August 2007.

In the nice cool morning, 0930 at Everton Park, 17 brave warriors stood against Team Buffalo United. And these 17 warriors fought with heart and came out victorious.
1-0 to SSC.
Thank you God for the nice weather that was provided on Saturday, couldn't ask for more.


1st half. Team SSC showed great organisation despite the lack of game time over the past few weeks. We closed them down quick and pressured them well in the opening minutes of the half. It didn't take long before a superb lobbing thru-pass by Derek found Ling Jia Hao one on one with the keeper. With much experience and skill, Jia Hao lofts the ball pass the keeper, giving SSC the lead. Derek smashes a great chance away from a free kick taken by Justin Tay. Constant thru balls by Tany and Derek continued to pressure our opponents. Team Buffalo United had their chances, but superb defending and brave keeping made sure they did not equalise.

2nd half. A little shaky start, but got organised quick and started attacking. Captain Shawn being guilty for missing two glorious chances. Xiangkers with a pin point cross, but only to let Shawn head it wide. Tiredness kicked in and Team Buffalo United made full use of it, creating more chances and shooting. However, superb defending once again by Andriy, Pravin, Shaun Teo, Jeremy Kwok, Xiangkers and Chao kept us our lead. Chao care-bear starred one of the opponents, knocking the wind out of him and that was pretty funny. Hope you're alright Leon. Team Buffalo didn't let us rest one bit, throwing attacks after attacks. They were unfortunate, hitting the post twice. But Ben Fong-ster, who made brilliant (really good, superb, out of this world) saves kept as alive.
SSC hang on and came out victors.
