CBS Cup

CBS Cup..The tournament that's killing ALL OF US!!
Players injured..Burnout due to 2 matches in a day and under the hot sun..fheww~~

We sent a rather strong team but at the end of our first game, which we won 5-0, we had 3 players injured out of the 7 players registered!!

Was forced to play the 2nd game of the day with an injured goalkeeper (Joel) who's struggling with his knee. Our striker, Ali out with YES A BROKEN ANKLE!! (Confirmed that later at night after scanning his leg in the hospital) And defender (Didier) limping. So its left with me, Kent, Kristen and Yit Chuan to face the defending champions!!!

Outcome: a defeat..a humiliating defeat..

2nd day of the tournament, organiser allowed us to get the replacements required.


Top: Kent, Avinash, Andy, and Didier.
Below: MJ, Yit Chuan, Myself and Kristen.

2nd Day, 1st game against the boys from Vickery..O boy..though game it would be..
Surprisingly took the lead for the first half at 1-0..Could have been 3-0 if Didier had controlled his one on one shot, and if he had converted from the penalty spot!!

Stayed 1-0 until the last 10 minutes..They managed to scramble a goal through for the equaliser..And 5minutes later found themself in the driving seat after hitting us at the counter attack..
LOST 1-2

2nd Day, 2nd game against Team M. A tough battling encounter with Team M. But the team, low on morale and support (on and off the pitch) cried foul and Team M was able to sneak a goal in for the victory.. The team practically didn't created chances in front and had to pay the price for not concentrating.
A deserved 0-1 defeat but if the team had got the spirit going, we would have easily demolished them..

Consequences: Team V69, knocked out.
