vs OVA (300706)

Sigh. We were on top and we couldn't score. Story of our season.

Final score was 1-0. We let in a comical early goal from a short corner that shouldn't have been given. Teng blundered when he missed the ball completely and the ball was scrambled in. Still, we weren't shaken, and we pressed on in search of the equalizer. We're still searching. Some wasteful touches from Manish "Mr Versatile" Nandwani and an alert left postman kept us from scoring in a match we should have comfortably won. But hey, long way to go yet this season. We dun have to top the league, just qualify and win the playoffs. Sounds easy ya. And we got to keep the team together, with prelims coming up and all. Veera and Fang Hao, come back if you both can. Neil too. And hopr that Edwin and Zarir recover. And coach gets a favourable schedule. And Huzer cuts his hair, loses weight and gets fitter though he has shown signs of improvement.

Special mentions:
Mervyn - Wins the NSMotMA for an imperious performance at the back. He was well covered by Shaik who looks like a tremendous find. Just hope Shaik doesn't end up like Titus Bramble.
Shaik - For reasons outlined above
Robin - Could've been the MotM if not for Mervyn. Dropped deep to pick up the ball. More effective in midfield than attack though. Switched positions well with Jigar (though unintentional)
Azri and Junren - For sacrificing hockey to serve our dear nation
