Next Stop CUFC

Guys next game against CUFC..Woodlands Ring Sec 11am..Wear green.Pls show me more committment guys..By now it should be a norm that sunday mornings are set aside for the team..Unless u got something unavoidable..Pls dont have the mentality tt it only u tt is not coming so its not gonna affect anything..Everyone counts and every game is important..So i hope the attendance will start improving..Esp next game is crucial for our title hope..A victory here will put us in the driving seat and give us the opportunity to be able to dictate the end result of the league..Basically things will be in our own hands if we win..CUFC who we lost to previously are definitely the best team in the league..Well organised and unforgiving..So we gotta be up for the challenge..After todays scare of a walkover lets learn from that and make sure everyone is at the pitch b4 the given time in future..If u're being fetched pls dont be late as it will delay the whole jingbang..Those fetching pls aid me in ensuring that those under u are on time and tt u guys at the most dont reach anything later than 10mins from match time..After much debate i've managed to convince the organiser to give us a rematch but he has strictly stated that our team has to bear cost for the game..If i'm gonna leave it to him to arrange we going to end up paying $160..So i'm gonna do the arranging of the field and ref which will cost ard $100-$120..So we all gotta take responsibilty and fork out ard 7 or 8 per person..So guys pls understand that this season we are in a much more convincing postition to win the championship and i dont want attendance or latecoming to cost us our glory..So A lil more committments on sunday mornings from all of us will do the trick.Hope to see u'll next sun and do what we do best..KAWABANG!!

Next Stop Team Mustang FC

Guys next game is at kranji sec at 11am..wear green..The opponents are unknown but looking at past results they dont look a major threat.But still there is no room for complacency..If u noticed the league standings we have a good chance to topple CUFC from the summit if we win our remaining 6games.A victory in the next game will leave us three pts behind the leaders..We are yet to face Mustang(x2) East Horizon(x2) CUFC(x1) Merida(x1)..I'm setting a target of 16pts from the remaining 18 that's up for grabs.So the target for this season is to end with 30 pts..So this weeks game is a must win and i hope the attendance will 'be good.the title might be decided next weekend if we fail to beat CUFC but lets concentrate on this weeks game first..So far we have scored 29 goals which is the best in the league but we have also conceded 20 goals.Despite the healthy goal difference i'm worried by the leakage at the back..So going into this game the priority is a cleansheet..Not only the defence but everyone has to work for it..Compared to the same time last season we are in a much better position now..So kudos boys for the improvement..See ya'll on sunday..Those needing a lift either alias with kathi or head down to admiralty station by 10.15 and Doc will pick u'll up..Also those unable to attend pls leave me a msg or tag on the board.

Match Review:

Firstly i would like to congratulate the team on this massive performance.The game started off with a 9men kawabanga against what looked like a full strength Dunman army.As usual the team has been letdown by attendance trouble but that didnt deter the bangers from dishing out what was asked of them..Kawabanga striked early despite the numeric disadvantage..A hopeful looking long ball by Vishnu was met deftly by the on form Vijay who rippled the back of the net with a well taken strike to the shock of the opponents.With only 5 league games vijay has belted in a whopping 9 goals leading the charts this season..With the 2 more players coming in after 10mins kawabangers looked lethal throughout the park until dunman had a stoke of luck when naga seemed to be cynically fouled in the area but play was waved on for dunman to have a crack at an empty goal..Despite ryan's worldclass save the inevitable happend as the rebound was met by a dunman head much to the dismay of the bangers..That signalled dunman's intentions..They were ready to go to all extent to get a result here.Kawabangers looked a little shaky until Anand calmed the nerves with a well taken goal after a rampaging run met with a pass by kathir..Kawabangers were once again in the driving seat and waves of attack followed.A bizzare goal followed...Kathir thumping freekick was awkwardly fumbled into goal by the keeper and the scoreline stood at 3-1.Vijay as usual a menacing threat wreacked havoc in the dunman box before squaring the ball to vishnu who needed more than a touch to control but the finish was precise..After taking some stick for his barren spell infront of goal of late Vishnu answered his critics with a composed finish and a overall solid display.With the scoreline at 4-1 at halftime the game looked all but over..But words of caution were heard from the Kawabanga camp knowing that dunman will be going all out to get back into the game...And spot on it was..Dunman came out stronger and had a plan on their mind.Dunman attacks came strongly from their right flank though their best player for majority of the second half..Kawabangers now had to show a different side to their game..They needed to calm things down and get control of the game..Losing the plot now would shatter the Kawabanga faithfuls..While holding the game well kawabanga managed numerous numbers of chances which would have put the game beyond doubt..Dunman should count themselve lucky that the scoreline remained..A Dunman attack down the right flank caused confusion and some lack of concentration and poor midfield gave the opponents a gimmer of hope..But by then the bangers knew just what to do..They had to close the game and bag the 3points..And thats exactly wad they did.Second half summed up bore encounter looking from a footballing prospect but for the kawabangers it was a job well down.Overall it was a brilliant effort from all the boys who gave 100%.A good learning experience for the team on how to close the game when necessary and excellently executed..Other than the freak sending off Naga it was one of kawabangers most disciplined games..And kudos the the bangers for not breaking under pressure despite constantly being numerically disadvantaged..Hope to see repeat of such exhilarating performances in future..
KawaBangA!!
