A NIGHTMARISH "FRIENDLY" MATCH THAT PLUNGES DASCH ROVERS STRAIGHT TO "KAMPONG" (AMATUERISH) SOCCER

~~~~It was a game that shouldn't even have been played. There WILL NOT be a report on this "friendly" match which shouldn't be even termed as a match. For the sake of our history books..here is the "report".

~~~~Number of players who turned up: 10-1=9. Alvan left before the match even started. Players who turned up: Kenneth, Eng Kiat, Chekkeng, Tianrui, Cheng Cai, Raymond, Stanley (with his girlfriend), Zixin & Ivan. The opponents also had the same number of players.

~~~~The Westlake field was heavily utilised. Leaving us with no choice, went to Catholic High, got chased out. Finally settled for Bishan Park!! No goal post, no lines.

~~~~Can't remember the exact score (we were trashed of course), but everyone was going through motion under the hot sun. Only the opponents were eager to play proper soccer. The dasch players? Stroking the ball around, losing it, stroll around the park. Everyone was waiting for the match to end. Stanley went to sit next to his girlfriend halfway during the match and never came back to play. The poor chap was leaving for UK the next day!

~~~~That sums up more or less the nightmare we had. It was over in less than an hour.

~~~~This season shall now be officially declared over. Stay tune for the season round up and some good reads for your exams! Cheers!
