Ok so we just had our first game. Ended up in a draw. A lucky draw, for them I mean. Seriously, for all their 'possession', all they did most was to check the integrity of our woodwork.

Us on the other hand, were absolutely dangerous. Concise and effective albeit rare forrays into their half was rewarded by 3 clear cut chances in the first half.

The first was a series of block shots involving Harun and Azmy. Their defenders were in sixes, sevens and sometimes eights, as they blocked everything that came their goalmouth's way. A lucky save for the goalkeeper ended the maelstrom.

The next chance fell to Azmy who operated as a lone striker. Pouncing on a great through ball by our dear Imran, he lobbed the wobbly keeper from 35 yards out, only for the ball to land on top of the net.

And finally our newcomer Saeed Rossi Puyol Al-Motor rounded their goalkeeer only to let the ball outrun him with a poor touch.

Whatever it is guys, we have a MAJOR problem. What is it about us and only starting our engines in the second half? Its no longer funny or something to joke about. We start off badly for every bloody game and only wake up for the first part of the second. And its the same story every game.

That issue has to be addressed before our next league game on the 10th of August against Seven Eleven FC. And to do so, there is likely for a training session to be conducted sometime late this week or early next. There will be a proper coach (with equipment and stuff) to beef up our strengths and address our weaknesses. Attendance for this training session will determine call-ups to future matches (there are after all we have about 28 players in total with 16 slots per game and only 11 will start).

More details about when and where to be posted later.

In the meantime, have a good rest, recover and re-charge your batteries. It was a real drainer of a game. Kudos to those listed below who attended and for giving your all.
