It's another exciting friday afternoon, with a total of 7 goals exchanged between both sides earlier today. Smokers FC vs Teachers & Staff.
It was quite a disappointing match as the guys allowed the opposition team to let in 3 goals. Earlier in the game, the defending allowed Mr Khairul(T&S) to pick up a loose ball, thankfully it was well denied by keeper, Yuwei.

The T&S team was stronger than most of us expected, featuring teachers like Mr Azman, Mr Robin Goh, Mr Dimus Choong and Mr Indra.
The defence wasn't in best form, and it wasn't too long till the opposition brought upon another threat. Mr Khairul managed to tap the ball towards goal, and Mr Choong ran into the area unmarked, and tapped in the opening goal of the game.
The team then started to lack composure, and slowly confidence were fading..

Venoth(Sec 2) happened to play for T&S today. He managed to sneak past the defence, and tip in the ball with his toe. Yuwei was barely near it.
Down by two goals, the team was desperately trying to bring the game back to life. The chance came when Pravin managed to get into position and bring the rebounded ball into the back of the net. The score now, 1-2.

But the defence was again disappointing when Mr Robin Goh managed to cut into the left and launching a shot past Yuwei. 1-3.
The opposition team continued to threaten us by cutting pass our defense. Fortunately, Fauzi managed to pull one goal back, 2-3 now.
After scoring, Fauzi shifted into defence hoping to give some aid. Hisyam and Rusydi then shifted into the centre.
After the shifting of the positions, the team was slow gaining back momentum.
When all hope seems lost, Hisyam executed a wonderful technique by chipping a ball across Mr Azman. Targeted perfectly, 3-3! Game on!

Both sides continued to attack, with the T&S team attacking more than the Smokers. The unlucky thing was that they didn't managed to find the back of the net, and slowly, they were becoming more tired.
The team continued to look for the golden goal, towards the back, with the slightest of chances, Hisyam once again managed to pick up a rebound and score the winning goal!
The game then ended with a scoreline 4-3.

With a little luck, a match that seem destined to be a loss, became an undeserving win.
But the team displayed great perseverance and determination, great spirit!
