title:{revival}

hello buggers, its been awhile. 2 things to note this coming week...

Firstly, The Cage @ Kallang has been booked for this coming Friday, 23rd March 2007 from 2-6pm. So for those who said they'll be coming... better do.

Also, an invitation has been received from the AFL regarding a friendly next Sunday, 25th March 2006, 5pm at Regent Sec. Opposition unknown, but we'll have to cough up about $85 for the friendly. Those who can make it please sms me asap so that we can quickly confirm. Hope you guys can make it as I think this would make a better sending off for them april army boys as well as chinaman quek, who will be flying off soon for attachment. Also we would wanna show them organizers what the AFL's been missing right... Or more like Cherie Hearts who refuseeeee to sponsor us ah, damn.

alright 1st post in a zillion years ends here, and happy st.pet's day people.

Signing off,
Sams

title:{SunSport Soccer Tournament @ Fernvale}

Hi guys,

this is the long awaited directions post for this Saturday's competition opposite Fernvale Primary School.

This Saturday, we will be meeting at SENGKANG MRT CONTROL STATION at 1:15pm sharp.

From there, we will still have to take LRT to FERNVALE LRT STATION. Therefore, those of you who are taking MRT to Sengkang, PLEASE DO NOT TAP OUT.

For those staying in the East, I suggest you guys take Taxi together to Sengkang MRT as it'll waste a lot of time if you take MRT there. Next, please remember to make your way to the control station to meet everyone else.

Finally, PLEASE BE ON TIME. We will leave at 1.15pm sharp.

Update: In answer to Neil's question, yes we are going to wear they jersey we used for AFL, not the black one.

See you guys on Saturday.
quek.

title:{Confirmation.}

Lads, it has been confirmed with regards to who the chosen ones are. A total of 14 will be participating in the tournament:

Boon, Quek, Neil, Tan, Sam, Josh, JR, Meng, Joey, Farhan, Wah, Long, Bak and Ng.

It will be held on the 25th of November, with the venue yet to be confirmed. I'll need you guys to transfer $15 for registration into my POSB Savings account ( 209-01121-2 ) latest by FRIDAY 3 NOVEMBER as i need to submit the registraion forms plus a picture of us by the 5th.

Picture wise it would be the one taken when we lost our virginity in AFL to the housemovers.

Anyway, there's less than a month's time to the tournament. I know most of us are in quite bad shape already due to the lack of footballitis in our blood.

So til then, Work hard and Train hard.

Captain

Cheers.

title:{The Revival.}

Dead, isin't it?

It's been a while since there are any recent incidents with regards to this blog of ours...

A few days back i received a phone call from the main official of Espzen. He called and was informing me about this particular national 7-a-side field tournament that he is organising and would wish for me to come up with a team to participate. I was very interested in the idea of playing competitively as we have 'rust' since our AFL journey ended.

I would be selecting 13 players from our squad to participate in this tournament. So far i have got 12 names who are willing to put their foot in(and hands for JR) in a bid to win some honours for SLK- Adrian Tan, Quek, Neil, Josh, Joey, Long, Farhan, Bak, Wah, Sam, JR and myself. Augustine "Thunderlegs" Soong got his hands occupied(literally) as he is having a bowling competition during that day. That leaves 1 more slot to fill. If you think you can play feel free to drop me a sms to inform me. Shall see how it goes, but please do so asap as i need to submit the forms by this coming Monday.

The format of the competition goes like this:

They will be taking up the World Cup format. 32 groups of 4 teams each play it out in a bid to progress through the qualifying rounds. The top 2 teams from each group will progress into the next round and live to fight another day. There are 4 days to choose to play the qualifying rounds- 11,12,25 and 26 Novemeber. I will be going for 25 Novemeber(Saturday) for us. This tournament has 3 categories- Under 14, Under 18 and Open category. Ours is of course the Under 18 category. I think we stand a very good chance eh...

As you can see, this is a large scale event. The further stages would even have media coverage(pretty cool eh). Each team has to pay $200 registration fee. Works out to $15 per head for us. We would be playing at least 3 games, each timed at half an hour. That gives us at least 1.5 hours of solid football. We would be given either an Adidas or Nike matchball to go along as well.

That said, i would be hoping that the players who have confirmed to be able to play turn up tomorrow for our weekly street soccer kickabout. Special JC guests Joey(whoa!!!!) and Farhan are even turning up. Shall discuss with you lads more tomorrow then.

O yea, the top prize is $1000 cash plus trophy and medals. If we win, Tour di Bintan sua.....

Cheers.

Captain

title:{SLK Season Review!}

alright just like every other team in the EPL or maybe AFL does.. we too have a season review haha so, i am gonna start from matchday 1.

Matchday 1: Siling Soccerer House Movers vs SLK Football Club

in the words of the legendary axl rose of guns n' roses fame, this was really welcome to the jungle for us. a completely different feeling from frequent friendly games with the cj team, roller coaster, we were given a stern warning of what the AFL was gonna be about. the lack of match fitness allowed siling to dominate most of the game, resulting in a score of 4-1, with terence pulling a goal back, scoring SLK's first ever competitive league goal.

Matchday 2: SLK Football Club vs Team Sofeene Football Club

ah, the team once feared. with luck on the side of the mats plus pre-match knowledge of the team intimidating us a little, we were haplessly trounced 7-0 at tampines secondary field. respect was gained for this team of mats, but not for long.... till the second outing.

Matchday 3: Real Madraz Football Club vs SLK Football Club

matchday fatigue? this game was one best forgotten, and not to mention the crazy travelling we had to do across the country for this one. think argentina vs serbia & montenegro during the recent world cup. 6-0 final score.

Matchday 4: SLK Football Club vs Team Inpulse Football Club

it had been a long time coming, but our first point! finally something for us lads to smile about. before the game those asses in red were like 'eh this match sure trash them one la'. so they brought their video camera, some skanky ah lians, in the hope for a trashing and some celebrations. only for them to struggle to score a controversial goal and terence to put the finger on their lips with an equalizing goal, together with a fernando torres inspired celebration. 1-1 the final result.

Matchday 5: YV United Football Club vs SLK Football Club

relegation candidate vs runaway league leader. david vs goliath but we gave them a run for their money. we worked hard and did our best not to be outclassed. we showed real spirit and never gave up. though the game ended as a 2 -1 defeat for us, it definately showed that we were capable of competing with the top team.

Matchday 6: SLK Football Club vs Siling Soccerer House Movers

the one that slipped away. after a sensational goal by sam giving SLK the lead for the very first time in the AFL, and a red card for one of those indians, most of us thought a 1-0 win and our 1st 3 points were on the cards, only to fall victim to a siling backlash, with the final score 2-3 staring right back in our faces. but we knew... the AFL had only just begun for us.

Matchday 7: SRCDeaf Football Club vs. SLK Football Club

at last at last, our very first 3 points. despite their disability, they were a really tough opponent to play against, with their tireless running and distracting hardgay noises (HOOOOOO!). but nonetheless, an early double by josh secured all 3 points, together with SRCDeaf failing to find the net after numerous sitters. and oh, not forgetting our keeper's heroics, JR. aahhaha. 2-0 it ended.

Matchday 8: Team Sofeene Football Club vs. SLK Football Club

scarfest 2006, a match we would never forget. as any point dropped would mean a severe dent in sofeene's title hopes, horrendous and unnecessary tackles came flying a plenty when weixing, one of our mid-season additions scored a magnificent equalizing goal, completing our comeback from 3-1 down, a fantastic result for us. but it came at a hefty price, as a fractured ankle kept JR out for most of the remainder of the season, and a strong elbow kept sam out for the next game against real madraz.

Matchday 9: SLK Football Club vs Real Madraz Football Club

our best match to date. a 6-3 whopping of Real Madraz. nobody had expected us to win this match, given the fact we got raped the last time we played them. it was a match where the madraz bench was seemingly depleted and in comparison to an almost complete SLK squad, they were no match for us. 2 goals from josh, 1 from quek and a hat-trick from gus completed the rout. an unforgettable match to say the least.

Matchday 10: Team Inpulse Football Club vs. SLK Football Club

with video cam and skanky ah lians (some) brushed aside, this time Inpulse meant business. with SLK fielding a lacklustre and a worn out pre-exam side, we were trounced 5-1, with the question of commitment becoming a big issue after the game. only being able to name a bench of 3 was certainly inexcusable.

Matchday 11: SLK Football Club vs. YV United Football Club

outwitted, outplayed, outclassed. YV United controlled the game from start to finish as easy as operating your everyday teewee remote control. with a totally changed starting 11 with no substitutes at all, they were brilliant throughout, and they secured the championship after a smashing 17-1 win. deserved champions indeed, we applaud them.

Matchday 12: SLK Football Club vs. SRCDeaf Football Club

ah, those hardgays again. they sure came back with a vengeance, playing well despite the poor ground and weather conditions. as bedok green was not the best of grounds to slide and land your ass on, it contributed to poor performances from most of the lads, resulting in a 7-3 defeat, auggy and quek making the score more respectable.

Matchday 13: SLK Football Club vs. UTS Football Club

lo and behold, from a bunch of joker ah peks we played against during the postponed 1st outing, to a group of construction workers/illegal immigrants/indo/malaysian buggers. this was one team we would least expect to be at the bottom of the league. as always, its always the case of the speedy and tricky wingers, leaving our full backs running more worse off than terry fox. bright side to the game was that we held them for quite a period of time in the match, only to lose steam towards the end. despite quek being on fire and gunning for auggy's top scorer spot, it was still not meant to be for another victory. another trashing for SLK, this time 8-3 the final scoreline.

Matchday 14: UTS Football Club vs. SLK Football Club

Final game of the season ended up in shambles, another 5-1 trashing by the same team being the final score. despite the loss, the efforts we put in despite a small team like ours was definitely something to be proud of, and it was good enough a conclusion to our first ever league adventure. a million claps could never be enough for those who turn in week in week out to play their hearts out, match after match.

cheers to a fulfilling season,
sam.

P.S. whoever can fill in the blanks for those matches i did not turn up for, write up write up. cheers again!

yeah daryl's right.
its the last game of the season.
wheres the commitment we talked about at the start?
i havent been there as well due to the exams
and im sure end of year exams for the poly students are also not to any degree less important.
i applaud those who are there week in week out.
people like meng, quek for example.
they have unwilting passion of the game.
but thats all in the past now.
now lets focus on the game ahead.
thats against uts
remember how we allowed them to have a decent draw
the previous time in the rain when we met?
we are capable of winning them.

from the beginnings when we plyed our trade on the courts of marine parade.
we have moved to gan eng seng where we fought and won many battles.
now we are in a tournament.
almost out of the "relegation" zone no less.
a long way we have come.
and so only time can prove what we can do.
with new additions like ong and gus to our side.
we have bolstered our firepower to become a side capable of great things.
last sunday's lost could only strengthen our vendetta against uts.
its at sunday, its against uts, its at choa chu kang
the place where it began
and the place where it all ends.
so let this sundays game be the best and most memorable one.
i would give my all.
would you?
its now not a question of abilities,
its a question of faith.
do you believe in a win?
i do.

refer to the tagboard and reply if you are in favour for the friendly. thanks

and so let the battle begin.
wahwah.
