A hard fought game saw us playing against SRC (with few active club members). The game started with good pace and actions from both ends. Playing a ball down to the left wing, Osman first get the ball under control follow by beating his marker and delivering a low cross across the goal mouth. Elango at the near post almost got a touch, but he failed to get it, though his challenge at the gk gave Irwin who was at the other end the opportunity to tap into an empty net. 1-0. This scoreline stayed till half time whistle went off.

Second half saw SRC coming harder at us and finished with a total of 7 goals.

Crosses came in from our left and right, though most of the time we managed to handle it adequately. It was a matter of time before SRC finally equalized.

A cross from our right found their striker who headed the ball strongly past Kee Yong.

Shortly after this, an attempt by Hanz to clear the ball only to find it floating backwards towards our goal and Kee Yong was beaten by it as he was slightly off the line. (1-2)

It was not long before Osman who released a through ball for Irwin. Irwin though unselfishly released the ball back to Osman who continued his run. His shot to the right bottom corner found the net and the score was leveled again at 2-2.

Before long, SRC took the lead again. An attempted clearance by ODS was not long enough. The ball fell to SRC's right wing near our penalty box, whose shot beat Kee Yong but not the near post. The ball then rolled across the goal line, Kee Yong recovered well to save it, but the strikers "force" the ball into the net along with Kee Yong's hand: 2-3.

Minutes later, SRC soon themselves taking a comfortable 2 goal lead when a cross from our left to the far post found their player. A good chest control followed by a half-volley found their 4th goal into our net.

They soon realised that ODS should not be taken lightly. It appears that we wanted to keep our good run. Osman moved up to pair up with Liang Han. We were soon rewarded after a good run down the right by Osman. His fake managed to throw the keeper off balance and subsequent shot found our 3rd goal at the near post. At 3-4, our morale grew and everyone presses harder.

A counter attack from ODS was nearly effective but Osman attempted dive for penalty was not very successful. Another counter from ODS saw Osman going into the penalty box and towards the byeline, but before he could cross, he was taken down by the defender. This time round the penalty was given. Osman stepped up to take the kick and send the keeper the wrong direction. His cool shot into the left corner was the last goal for an exciting 2nd half. The final score 4-4.
