Tense draw leaves the title hanging in the balance

Clementi Woods Sec , 1500 Hrs

YSOSRS FC 0 Naranja AFC 0

I allowed the result and the chaotic nature of the entire day to set in before i was finally able to see the light.

We may have not gotten the victory that we came for, but we still got a point. The equation is now simple, as long as Team Goat does not win their last game (draw or defeat against SOS), we will win the title. OR as long as they chalk up another 2 yellows to get a point deducted, we will prob win the title due to our massive goal difference as compared to theirs. Is it a long shot? Yeah perhaps, but its a hope. Lets hope that we can still win it even though it is out of our hands now!

Just so you guys know, we already have at the very least secured 2nd place which means medals for each of us and 1 free game from D2D.

Thanks to all who turned up today. Even though the aftermath of the game felt like a funeral, once the result has set in, all of the jokers should be proud of what we have achieved. Our team was formed less than a month before the current league started and all we played were 2 friendlies before we embarked on the journey into the unknown. 5 months later, we have secured our place in the top 2 just based on friendlies and matches with no training. It has been an amazing ride and i myself have made many excellent friends who share the same passion for football.

M.O.M for today: Everyone. From the guys who sacrificed and didnt play (WS & SQ), apologies and hopefully i gain your understanding that it was because we were chasing for that elusive goal and the win. To the goalkeepers (allan & phileo) who were outstanding between the sticks. The top notched and whole hearted defense (alaric, huijie, ronald, hizam, farhan and HG). The midfield that constantly closed our opponents down and gave their all to creating the opening for the goal that never came (Syafiq, dinie, Vic, LQ, law, wong, ahcool, rudee too for past efforts!) and finally to the man who plays with YSOSRS passion on his sleeves and has often carried the team forward with his bucket load of goals (Jufri). Not forgetting of course, the cheers for us and jeers for our opponents by the girlfriends (Cat, Aisyah, Fadilah, Tasha, Syazana) and finally the man who gave up his leg and a year out of the beautiful game for the cause of the team (jassie boy).

Thank you peeps for making our debut season a memorable one. It is a time for celebration and not feeling sorry for ourselves. We have done our best and let us all be proud of it. We can always look forward to potential new owners, new jerseys, a new experience in a new league with the same group of friends that all begins soon too.

Do try to keep next saturday night (2nd Oct) free alright, around 7-8pm. We will have a team gathering over dinner so that we can just sit down, relax and talk cock as we reminisce about the season and any other thing under the sun. Hopefully we should close the deal with our new owners during the week and we should be able to have our team gathering at SUFI restaurant. Stay tuned guys! Rest well!
