a lesson to be learnt in defeat!
Team Vasantham - 2 (Subaish, Ananth)
Tampines Boys - 6
Well.. finally a thrashing.. on the wrong side! i think the referee (who was quite obviously a good friend of the opponent) looked to favour them in most decisions. But still we should have closed the game when we were 2-1 up as we did not have players. Some of us lost composure and were more looking forward to whack them rather than play our game. We don't need to win every game guys but we do not need to lose like this. We always have to play to whistle and look to score and not look to get revenge.. Selvam our GK and Subaish played well and Ananth played his heart out.. but to no avail.. I strained my calf muscle and looking to be out for at least a month.The bright spark of the game?.. being able to play alongside the legend that is R Suriamurthi.. Thanks to kathir and sivaram for bringing him. He created most of our chances down the left in the later part of the first half. What a player! For those who attended the jeanz opening instead of coming for the game.. Thanks!!!
MOTM - Selvam (without whom the scoreline would have been quite 'memorable'!!)
Tampines Boys - 6

A fantastic game and outing!
Team Vasantham - 6 (Deva, Rush 2, Kajay, Ramesh, Naresh)
Rounders Rangers - 2
A brilliant stadium, watched by actual supporters, and a scintillating display by our guys.. One of our best games this year and we could have been winners by double digits. Terrific off-the-ball movement and intricate passing with explosive shooting. I must say that the move of the match was when prakash went past the whole midfield shifted to the right and sent in a swinging cross that i threw myself at.. but a great save by their goalkeeper. Could have been goal of the season.. sigh! but naresh is scoring goal of the season every game. Naresh captained the side on his birthday and nearly scored. the dinner after that was a real bonding session and a great get-together.. we should do it more often. Sara promised to come and didnt turn up, and as such will buy the drinks the next time! Enjoy the holidays all!
MOTM - Welcome back Mr Ian Rush!

reaaaallllly HOTTTT!!! no more 3pm games!!
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!!
