Haha........got nothing better to do then to post such pictures on my blog........This is the weekly winner of the Sport's Arena League Match......kinda dark a bit coz someone never put the night shot for it......lol

Anyway, let's rewind back a few hours before this..........

Yesterday was like any other day where i go play futsal with my friends.......My friend pick us up and had an "adventure" going to our destination......lol

Upon reaching there, i saw all of the regular "kaki's" there......There were the Daniel's team, KKJ team, Mark's team and my team (not the MY team from tv3 one)........We were playing a friendly among each other is a league format......or so i thought.........

We started at 10.00pm where the first teams were playing, A & D. When they were playing, i saw two refs in the court and i orang asing team......i was, like, "what the....????" then my teammates told me that they've entered me in a competition where the winner from the league game will go on to the monthly challenge.....i was shocked!!!!!!!

Me: I thought this was a friendly with our gang one, why got other people and a referee one???

Sam:No lah, this is a competiton lah.......

Me: HUH???????(shock and scare)

Nabeh.....char tou......nearly wanna piss in my pants......some more the malay team quite forminable one along with daniel's team with tons of experiences on their side........both were fighting to the end and the match was concluded with a draw on both side......

It's kinda scary to know that you're in a competition last minute......I prayed before the match and commited to God's hand everything......

The following match was us versus with KKJ.......the quick and witty team was quite a tough opponent with good attacking.....They were attacking and i even injured my finger during the match because someone stepped on my right index finger.......damn pain leh!!!! In the end of 10 minutes we scored 2-0 against them

Our second match was with Mark's team.....they had good midfield and attacking, had a bit of trouble because of their two strikers up front......this game we won 2-0

Our 3rd match was fight against with the malay team.....calling themselves "warung blues"......this was a tough match as they won 2 of their matches and drew one once...This was a do-or-die game as we needed a win to stay in contention for the prize.......it started of quite dangerous for our team as their main striker kept coming up front to kacau me.......thank god i manage to jaga him well and block his attempts.....this time we were a bit unlucky as it ended in a 1-1 draw.......haihzz...if i had block that shot.....could had have another clean sheet....

Last game was really a killer........versus Daniel's team......wa lau weh!!!!!they ta pau mark's and KKJ's team to a pulp......This was the last match......it's a do or die match......it started of with both teams attacking and defending........they pull of a shot, we got back a shot........they were damn dangerous especially on aerial attacks a they had Jacob that towered more then 6 foot to head in the ball.....i read the match and at the same time just jump higher then him and push it over his head to the other side....... we were also creating chances as niranjan ran down the left and passed it to Sam and took a shot.........straight to the keeper's hand......

Second half.....

raja took the ball......dribble past their defends and cut through Sam which he then took the ball past the opponent and makes a clear shot......and GOAL!!!!!!.....deflected of the keeper's legs.......1-0 to us...... A few minutes later the opponent's keepers threw a long ball pass all my team and philip was there to take the header......his ball float towards the right side of goal.....i dive on my right side and safely caught the ball......The match was won by us and we became the winner of the league with 2 points ahead of the nearest opponent.....

We won!!!!!!!i never win in any futsal competition before........last time, a few years back, my old team lost 6-0 and was knocked out that time......

After the match, my finger swell like a balloon and i need at least a few weeks to recover.........damn pain now leh.......lol

Cheers!!!
