1st Toa Payoh Sec, 1500Hrs
YSOSRS FC 0 Team Intense 1
The jokers had a game plan on the day and we stuck to it. It is a game plan that we will be hoping to use more as the new season comes along. Well, just to fill the imagination. Think Man City in their maiden season under the oil-rich arabian owners... And compare them with now. Yup, it is our hope and fingers crossed, that is what we will be like in time to come.
A game of fine margins and we were arguably the better side in the 1st half in particular with the boys chomping at the bit and biting into every challenge. With chances few and far between both sides, it was likely that one goal would win the game.. Well it eventually came midway through the 2nd half as we conceded a soft goal from an Intense corner. Lax marking and it was 1-0.
For the vast majority who would like to know, Intense are a thoroughly competent side who are likely to represent Espzen in the upcoming League of Champions. Made up of accomplished Combined University players, they have quality oozing through the squad. Us on the other hand, journey man and competitive amateur footballers who have been climbing the rungs of the social football ladder gradually and we certainly gave it as good a fight as we could. You could see the fighting spirit in the eyes of the jokers as we fought hard, yet unfortunately, we came up short as the referee eventually blew for full time.
The handshakes and complimentary words by the match officials as well as the kind words of our opponents at the final whistle will certainly inspire us to keep on fighting in the coming season. We were so near, yet so far. But make no doubt about it, as the squad goes from strength to strength with fresh faces in the coming season... There is hope that once again we will be right up there and challenging in whatever competitions we feature in. No easy games as usual but I am proud and pleased at the efforts put in by the jokers this season.
We have grown through the tribulations as well as the successes boys and I am sure we will keep it going for as long as it takes. Stick together my friends. One more game next week before we earn ourselves a well deserved break.
So yeah... much love folks. Much love. And we out. For now.
