Team Vasantham - 3 (ananth 2, prakash)
Vietnam NUS Team - 2
it was a game we were controlling comfortably, then things went heywire!! first the weather was like 36degress, we started the game with onl 10players, then first injury, made us 9, then became 10 after kajay came in, became 10 again after mani's injury.. but to win wih just 10men in sweltering heat was an achievement. kudos to all the players who managed to hold on despite an onslaught from the fit vietnamese...(just couldnt take the incessant talking!). I should have put away the clear opportunity, sorry guys. But a brilliant defensive display by kathir, gary, mani, naresh, kajay and selvam as well as sasi. welcome back ananth.. two well taken goals!
MOTM - tie between ananth and Gary

Game at Bowen on 19 Jul
Team Vasantham - 8 (Maran, Blondie, Naresh, Vinodh 2, Prakash, Kajay, Yang)
ITE West Boys - 1
We were on a non-stop assault on them from the word 'go' and this was what we lacked in the previous game. Ramesh performmance at the middle was exemplary as wel as Naresh.. If not for their goalkeeper and we spurning chance at chance. All goals were fantastic including kajay straight from the corner flag, and chin yang's back flick. Wel done guys..
MOTM- Ramesh

Game at Yio Chu Kang
Team Vasantham - 7 (Kajay, Saravanan Ayavoo 2, Vinodh 2, Maran, Sasi)
Holy Innocents' High Sch U16 - 2
A game that was supposed to be a walk in the park became a bit complicated because we did not take it seriously enough. Some of our players were walking after losing the ball, we were laughing and enjoying banter DURING THE GAME and kept on making silly mistakes.. if it were tougher opponents, we could have been slaughtered. In the end, i felt the scoreline did not do justice to the tenacity and hardwork displayed by the young boys against us.. they did not give us time on the ball and closed us down.. cmon guys, we need to play to our strengths and forget about the opponents, we need to ponder over the fact that we conceded 2 goals against 13-16 year olds, even though the field is to be blamed too.
MOTM - Prakash (.. but to be fair, i think it is the whole holy innocents' high team who refused to give up)
Kudos also to saravanan ayavoo for making good on his promise to score and catch up with the rest of the goal-scorers.. but still some way to go bro, vinod is now 13 goals!!

An All-out attacking performance!
Jun 7 2008 - Bedok Green Sec
Team Vasantham - 7 (Vinod 2, Blondie, Naresh, Ramesh, Prakash, Maran)
Blue Knights - 3
It was one of the most attacking performance ever, the ball always being moved forward and wingers running at the opponent defence until they were totally ravaged. Fantastic performance by one and all, including the defence as all three goals were a result of the referee giving them free gifts.. But for me the combined passing between anand, kathir, tarzan, naresh and blondie that led to the 30 metre missile by Naresh was the best goal!! and kudos to blondie because he was unstoppable on the day, running, creating, shooting and of course scoring. Have to also thank you guys for making sure i scored.. hehe.. missed too many anyway!! Vinod is now our top scorer but Blondie is close behind.. Saravanan ayavoo - please catch up!!
MOTM - Blondie - left the field to applause.. even by the opponents!!

Win but...
Team Vasantham - 5 (Naresh, Ananth (pen), Blondie 2, Rashid)
Woodlands Reds - 3
Even though it was an awesome comeback after being down 2-0 then 3-1, the fact that we fought against the referee and amongst ourselves made it a game to forget! As leader of the team (If i may say so), i am disappointed with the reactions of some of our players with the decisions made by the referee. True enuf, most of them were dubious decisions and some were downright riduculous like the goal he allowed and then disallowed after being pressured by the opponent. C'mon guys, we were the better team by far and did not need those decisions in order to win!! We had 21 shots at goal and 5 goals and the opponents 3 shots and 3 goals!! the way we were playing we could have gone double digit.. but the point is our behaviour towards the referee was unforgivable and the first time in so many months we have existed as a team i had to call the field manager and referee manager to apologise.. If we had been in the lead, we would have accepted the referee's wrong decisions and played on. I realise that losing is not easy to take, but the moment we only think of winning, we stop having fun and people who play for fun would stop coming. I have been playing and watching football for a long time and have faced some strange refereeing. We see some strange refereeing in Champions league games or EPL games bv Qualified Proffessional FIFA referees.. if teams like chelsea, man U, liverpool, arsenal can take wrong decisions and play on, i don't see why we can't.. Remeber guys, we are a team with a reputation.. lets not make it a bad one!
Other than this flaw, it was a fantastic passing game, with the goal of the season by our guest player Naresh who practically beat 9 players before he scored. Ananth was a fantastic revelation in the middle of the field and created almost all the goals. Good play by blondie, kanna, kathir, selvam and jag as well. Saravanan ayavoo ran his heart out and i promised him that i would not talk about his three misses, especially the one that i created for him infront of goal with only the goalkeeper to beat.. (Which he missed by the way.. hehe)
MOTM - Ananth - superb midfield display and created all the goals single-handedly.
Woodlands Reds - 3
