Starting Line-Up
GK: Dennis

Mid[L-R]: Fred, Mark Penu, Mark Teo, Kee Yong
Striker: Liang Han, Elango

ODS riding on a streak of undefeatness for 8 games.. although from the start, this was not apparent. More then often, ODS looks weary and hardly threaten.

The 1st real chance went to hairy when he intercepted a weak goal kick but with the open goal and keeper out of position, he should have gone for a direct shot rather than the off-target lob.

The young opponents often make use of their pace and fitness to create problems.

The stalemate was broke finally when Denis failed to hold on to a ball when he called for it. With the mess up, he gifted them the only goal of the 1st half.

2ND HALF REPORTED BY IRWIN

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Dennis
Def[L-R]: Chee Mun, Hanz, Kiren, Khian Meng
Mid[L-R]: Irwin, Aidil, Yang Song, Cheen Ming
Striker: Gary, Liang Han

ODS started the second half in a frenzy, desperately trying to get the equalizer. First chance came when Liang Han ran after the ball on the right and crossing well into the far post of the opponent only for Irwin to get his head under the ball and sending it over the crossbar. Then a corner from the left found Mark Penu stooping low to head the ball all alone in the six yard box only for him to hit the crossbar and out. Cheen Meng also had a couple of fierce shots stopped by the keeper after ‘turbo-ing’ past their defenders. Finally, another corner from the right by Yang Song came a little behind Gary who did well to adjust his body to half-volley into the roof of the net. For a player with no international experience, he has done well to score two goals in two games.

After the equalizer there were a few substitutions. Mr Sng came in for Liang Han. Hans for Ros and James for Seah. ODS did well to defend against the opponent’s speed and aerial prowess.

Then came the moment of madness from Dennis who pressed his self-destruct button. After saving a fine shot from the opponent, Dennis ran and threw the ball to James - who was not facing the ball - all the while shouting ‘Mark! Mark!’ James only realized that the ball was thrown was onto his direction when he saw the speedy left mid speeding towards him. By then it was too late as the winger pushed the ball past James, put in a cross and their forward finished it brilliantly with an angled header which left Dennis no chance. The game ended ODS in defeat and Dennis blaming the earth and the moon for his actions. All I saw was an atomic bomb in boots, gloves and a bright orange jersey going off between the goal-post.
