Tomorrow is gonna be another long day, but its worth it. The weekend saw the girls play their second match in the league and we got a nil-nil draw in the match against SRJC. It was a good match, I felt the girls really played well, and SR are surely, DEFINITELY, thanking their lucky stars they escaped with a point, we pounded their goals like there was no tomorrow, oh well I guess it was just not to be.

Nonetheless, I'm so proud of the girls, and their performance has given me extra impetus for me to stay and fight for them. I realli hope they go somewhere cos they are realli beginning to shift into the correct gear.Not there yet, but on the way at least.

A few observations from the match:

Fitness
The girls really have to work on their fitness and on their speed. Christl is showing some good touches but she needs to learn to run faster, that of course will take time. But she fought hard, am proud of her. Tan Xuan is doing great on the right, very promising.

Our Bedrock
Definitely this team's future will depend on Stef and Audrey, both are realli outstanding and played brilliant in the SR match. Audrey especially looks like she has the potential to go very far, I dare say, given the correct development she can go to the national team. Realli.

Corners
This is our fault, we din realli expect to be taking so many corners, but we should work on it tom, we had a few chances and should have done better, to finish them off.

New Prospects
Salome looks brilliant in defence, she can shape up to be great if she keeps going at this pace. She did a brilliant tackle on the attacker, POETRY IN MOTION. She Fong should be put on the wing I believe, she's got pace I think she should play in the wing definitely.

So dats dat for the match, some of the girls are kicking themselves rather hard cos of the result and personal performace, which has left me and WQ a bit dumbfounded, but we empathise wif them, at least it shows they do give a shit about this whole thing, and dats great.

Anyways, this will be mini's last week wif us, I realli hope he can find time to keep coming down, we shall see how. But I brought my cam along, to take some pics of the team, cos I noe this pics will be good memories of our time here.

The girls coming in for a team cheer. This must be the first time they've cheered. Our cheer is very simple. "VJ!" Shout loudly and enthusiastically and fllow-up cheer with enthusiastic whoops and screams for optimum result.

After the match the girls pack up to go back to school, Audrey(with towel) was looking kinda pissed now and I knew something was up.

In the bus on the way back, I dunno whose obscene leg it was stuck out there, but everything was good.

Back at school, the reserves continued training relentlessly, proving their commitment to the team. Good stuff this. I realli hope to give these girls a chance to prove themselves in the coming games, god willing.

Anyways apologies I didn't take any pics during the match, was realli too engrossed wif the match, which we could have won. Nonetheless maybe I'll get an official photographer or something for this, but keep an eye on this page, next game against NJ on wednesday.

Out.
