KDU College vs Bayern Baru Community College
I arrived at Technic College at 5pm and saw no-one. No opposition. No KDU players. It was just my 4 balls and me so I thought I came to the wrong place because the opponents said they wanted to start at 5.30pm. Slight panic set in as I made 2 phone calls to Jacob but eventually everyone turned up (a la Malaysia time).
The opposition were really hospitable. They not only booked the pitch, but paid for the referee and bought us bottles of isotonic drink, 100+. I think it was a rare match for them too. They took an official team photo with a pennant. They might have even given it to us if they didn't realise we were a team that err looked slightly less organised and didn't look like we were going to give them a momento of the day!
However by the end of the day, we did leave them with a present - a 4-1 drubbing. They were a team that kept possession well in their half but couldn't find the decisive ball for their strikers. It was always a little bit long ball for them and with the long legged Kugan covering at the back of defence, it wasn't a problem. It speaks a lot for their equaliser just before half time was a header from a corner which floated over our short goalkeeper.
The 2nd half was a different setting altogether as we strengthened our midfield to have a Christopher - Xabit - Cher Wei - Derek quartet allied to an attack that included the pacy & an experienced Heng. And we added to Christopher's first half goal as Keon grabbed one, I walked around the goalkeeper for the third with Heng putting on the lip gloss for the fourth. It was a fun way to end the year with KDU football team.
