Mid[L-R]: Osman, Mark Teo, Denis, Fred
Striker: Kiran, Kim Chuan

Records are meant to be broken. And it seems like a lot of ODS previous records will be broken if they can maintain this current form.

And also, Kiran looks to have one hand on the "Best Striker Award" after his second hat-trick, twice in 2games, 2 consecutive games. And that is after bagging the "Best Defender Award" last season.

Today's goals were all contenders for goal of the season. First came after some fine moves. Mark Teo passing to Kiran, who cut back for Kim Chuan. Kim Chuan took a quick cross to Osman who came dashing in. He displayed excellent control with his first touch. He then lifted the ball dedicately over the on-rushing to open the floodgate for the day.

0-1

ODS defence looked slightly shaky with the unfamiliar pairing of Hans and Rosk.
A mis-communication between the 2 allowed a through ball to roll between and beyond them.
The striker calmly chose his spot and put it beyond Kee Yong.

1-1

Just when it appears like as if there was some form for the opponents, ODS scored 3 quick goals within the next 15minutes to tie up the game.

Osman was involved again, this time a long through ball that beat the defence and rolled its way into the path of Kiran who couldn't make any mistakes from that distance.

2-1

The opponents were already limited to long shots as their gameplan was no longer threatening. Kee Yong, however had to make some crunching saves from some fantastic shots. Kee Yong, having saved a long shot, initiated a quick counter-attack with a long throw to Osman who was camping at the halfway line. He continued to bring the ball forward, drawing defenders towards him in the process. He unselfishly laid the ball to Kiran. His first time shot was parried into the air by the keeper but he followed up with a header to score his second of the evening.

3-1

Kiran soon completed his hat-trick, his second in 2consecutive games.
Denis sent in a lobbing cross. And with his current hot form, everything Kiran touches turns into GOAL, even with his head. Fantastic header.

4-1

Kiran then took himself off for Aidil.
And Denis was involved again in the next highlight of the game. A heated argument with the opponent and referee over some elbow issue.

Tony rolled back the years with some overlapping runs and sliding tackles.
But his energy was soon used up and he took himself out for Chee Mun.

Following a long kick by Kee Yong, and a flick on by Osman, Kim Chuan dribbled towards goal down the centre. Osman ran down the left to support and Kim Chuan released him. Osman did well to round the keeper and set up Aidil by squaring to the right. Aidil didn't anticipate the ball to be played to him, perhaps he thought Osman would normally be selfish and go for goal himself. Thus, Aidil stood rooted on the spot and watched the ball go narrowly wide at the far post.

Half time.

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Kee Yong
Def[L-R]: Hairy, Hans, Rosk, Chee Mun
Mid[L-R]: Kim Chuan, Mark Teo, Aidil, Irwin
Striker: Mr Sng, Osman

Shortly after the restart, ODS continued their goal scoring frenzy.

From a long throw by Mark Teo into the penalty box, and a flick on, Kim Chuan took a shot from the edge of the box. But his shot was denied by the crossbar.
Mr Sng was there at the right place to execute a sweet left-foot half volley to add to his 1goal per substitute appearance mission.

5-1

Mr Sng could have shot a few more, but he performed a very difficult arcobatic move in the air. His shot went wide of the target.
In another move, he was found free on the edge of the box by Osman. Mr Sng was too anxious and he took the shot too early. His shot was slightly too tame and was easily gathered by the keeper.

ODS pressed on for more goals and won a corner in the process. Kim Chuan took the corner. The ball was headed back to him by the defender, and his second cross found Irwin at the far post. Irwin scored his first goal of the season with a glancing header.

6-1

Mr Sng took himself off for Hairy who hardly has the chance to strike.

In a brilliant counter-attack, Osman drew the attention of all the defenders towards him and even the keeper had his eyes on him. He cut the ball across the goal perfectly for Hairy who had arces of space and time. With the keeper stranded and defenders far away from Hairy, Hairy did the unthinkable. The spectators were ready to cheer and celebrate but Hairy hit the crossbar from that near distance. It clearly shows he has something against Osman and wants to deny Osman an assist.

But soon, Hairy makes up for his earlier miss. Irwin brought the ball down with some neat moves and did a no-look pass to overlapping Chee Mun. Chee Mun wasted no time in releasing Hairy who ran from the halfway line all the way down. He then curled the ball round the keeper for his first of the season as well.

7-1

Clearly, the opponents were just waiting for the full time whistle.
But ODS still has a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

Osman racing down the left. Pulled the ball back, and sent a beautiful cross across the field to Irwin as the spectators watched in silence, totally mesmerised by the beauty of the cross and vision. (Osman insisted that I write this part in.)

Irwin after controlling the ball, whipped in a cross towards the far post where Hairy was waiting and he struck the ball into the roof of the net. His first brace in his ODS career.

8-1
Osman completed the rout from a powerful header from a corner by Irwin, finishing what he started.

9-1

The whistle finally came, to the delight of the opponents perhaps.
