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.
