Its the match we are looking forward to... Its like Barnsley meets Liverpool and we are looking cause an upset in this game. Opponents are not allowed to use their foreigners so its a fair chance. Still, we must prepare ourselves well for this game and anything can happen on that day. JAFC will be looking to create history, hoping that this will be the first batch of players to beat a Div 1 team.
Arasu has specifically requested each person to bring 2 bottles of 500ml oranges juice on Saturday. What we will do is drink one bottle after the game, eat bananas(will be provided), do ice bath, then drink another bottle. This is to help you recover faster. So remember to buy them from NTUC and BRING on that day.

SAFE by Durex
Pioneer CSC 2 - 2 Jollilads
Jollilads win by penalties (5-4)
In a night where the dreams of many young men who have journey so far with Jollilads would have been shattered, a night filled with individual mistakes which we would have been punished for, that night was saved by Durex. Be Safe use Deruex (an advertorial by Mr. Durex)
So the night started off well and slow with both teams feeling the fatigue from their previous cup tie. However, a slip up at the back resulted in a quick break for the Pioneer right wing taking who then took a shot to the far post, only to be denied by the upright. This incident ignited the sparks for Jollilads whom immediately replied by stringing passes and holding up possession. The possession and good passing almost result in a goal when a quick break down the right flank by Sudi (after some really beautiful passing between Zul and Winston) whom sent in a low driven cross finding Khai in acres of space. Unfortunately, Khai disappointingly placed his shot over the cross bar and out for a goal kick. However, this did not stop Jollilads from pounding forward and soon enough Jollilads were one nil up. A well wiped in-swinging corner from Manfred found Winston at the near post who tapped the ball into the post which then rolled across the goal line finding Zul who made no mistake blasting the ball straight into the net to put Jollilads in the lead for the first half.
The second half started with Pioneer looking sharper and hungrier. They managed to string several good pass with surging runs down the centre which was lacking during the first half. However, Jollilads stood strong and to the game plan with was soon rewarded when Zul picked up a loose ball in the centre of the field. With the Pioneer defence pushing up so high, Zul hooked a through pass to Winston, making a good run and beating the offside with only the on-rushing keeper left to beat, Winston calmly and collectively lobbed the ball over the Pioneer keeper, adding on to Jollilads lead.
However, after the second goal, Jollilads was a different team. Giving away possession easily, not being able to string passes and failing to do the basics. Pioneer took this opportunity and in a flash, Pioneer struck back. Their first goal seemed like the replica of Winston’s goal while their second goal came from a corner that was swung into the far post and met by an unmarked Pioneer player. It was only then when Jollilads started to piece ourselves together. And as time ticked and fatigue setting in, the Pioneer defence started showing more gaps. A quick break down the left flank saw Zul sending in a cross that was met by Fuhang at the near post. However, it was too little too late as he could not direct the ball towards goal.
Disappointed, Jollilads went into the penalties wanting to make amends. Pioneer was first to take the penalties and the first player made no mistake by placing the ball right into the right side netting leaving Tim no chance at all. Zul then stepped up and with a bit of luck slotted in Jollilads first. This cycle of scoring continued until the 3rd Pioneer taker whom blasted the ball against the upright and over the bar. Tim then almost became the hero after saving a penalty, only to be ruled off by the linesman. With that, Khai the last taker for Jollilads, brought home victory for Jollilads as he slotted the 5th and final penalty into the net. (Other takers: Chris, Sudi, Aaron)
It was indeed a night where Jollilads would have been punished for the missed chances and the lapse of concentration. Having taken a two nil lead, the team started being complacent, losing concentration at crucial times which eventually lead to a comeback by Pioneer. Although Jollilads made it through to the next round, it was clear that much work is need as the teams that Jollilads are going to face will only get tougher and hungrier. Hence, let’s keep training hard and let’s learn from our every game and keep our spirits high and ready for the next FA cup encounter.
YINGNI!
Lineup: Tim, Chris, Aaron, Sudi, Daowei, Zul, Khai, Feroz (Weiming), Fuhang, Manfred (Andrew), Winston (Kok Siong)

FA Cup - Road to Jalan Besar 2009
Match Details
Pioneer CSC vs JAFC
Venue: St Wilfred
Kick-off: 8pm
Date: 10/09/09 Thursday
Attire: Bring both sets of colours (dont forget your white socks)
Be there by 715pm for warm-ups. Coach has brought up the issue on punctuality again. If you are gonna be late (be it stuck in a traffic jam or other reasons), inform someone to tell coach so that he will know whether his players are gonna turn up for the game or not. He wants to see how prepared and ready you are for the game before he knows whether to play you. So please be punctual.
History has repeated itself where for the 2nd year running, we have beaten the Div 2 champions in the FA Cup. However, i hope not to repeat that phrase again this coming Thursday, for we went on to perform badly when we met a Div 3 promoting team and lost. No one has seen how Pioneer CSC (Div 3 promoting team) plays, and they beat Summerville FC. So let us just worry about our own performance, and still have that determination and desire to win, just like on Monday. The road to Jalan Besar 2009 continues...

Prison Break
Jollilads 3 - 2 Prisons
Jollilads broke Prison’s FA Cup dreams with a well strategic plan tattooed on the drawing board of Michael Arasu (Coach). Having played and lost twice to Prisons, Coach and Jollilads were certain to make this 3rd clash nothing less than exhilarating and with only one objective in mind, Jollilads kicked off the first half.
Right from the first minute, Jollilads, beaming with confidence and enthusiasm gave Prisons an early scare with Fuhang, Winston and Manfred all coming close to scoring, only to be denied by some last minute scramble and goal line clearance from Prisons. It was not long before Jollilads punished Prisons for their slack defending. Winston intercepted a square ball from the Prison’s centre back, side-footed the centre back and unleashed a right footed shot leaving the keeper stranded. Jollilads continued to press forward in search for the second goal with surging runs from Manfred and Khai. One of which saw Manfred driving a low and hard cross that was well met by Winston at the near post only to be denied by a great reflex save from the Prison’s keeper. The half ended 1-0 with fears written on the face of some players for not making our chances count.
Prisons was determined to make a comeback worthy of a Div 2 Champions and indeed they came back. Within the first 10 minutes of the second half, a lapse in concentration from the Jollilads defence saw a cross wiped in from the right finding a prison’s player whom towered the Jollilads wall to head in their equaliser. It was not long before the prisons guards struck again, with Jolliads failing to clear a long ball pumped in, the prisons player latched on to a loose ball, and struck a half volley to the far right of Aziz.
Having squandered our lead, Jollilads was determined to go down fighting, chasing down every loose ball and closing down every prisons player giving them no time with the ball. And soon we were rewarded for all our hard work as Khai found himself in acres of space with only the keeper to beat. His shot was however blocked by the on rushing keeper but made no mistake with the rebound scoring from an angle so tight that rendered the scale degree inadequate. This sparked off the great “Liverpool” comeback and soon Jollilads was once again rewarded for their hard work. A great ball played from defence found Chris surging down the left flank, swinging in a left-footed cross (that would make Ryan Giggs proud) found the on rushing Winston at the near post who then glanced it into the far corner. Jollilads could have doubled their lead on a couple of occasion, with an effort from Zul being disallowed for offside. It was not long before the siren was sounded, signalling the end of the prison break.
Another great victory guys and definitely one of our best performing games this season. Lets continue to keep up and play well for the coming 2nd round FA Cup tie. Rest well guys!

Jollilads continue winning ways since dawning of yingni
Jollilads 3 - 0 NTU
Yet another win for Jollilads as we go into the final weekend before our FA cup clash with Prisons, this time Jollilads took on the NTU side whom seem to be the better team right from the blow of the whistle. The Jollilads defence, consisting of Aaron, Chirs, Anand and Andrew, took a long time to settle down and NTU almost made Jollilads for the slack defending, when Andrew’s miss pass, set up a one-on-one opportunity for the NTU striker, only for the striker to blast the ball wide. NTU continued pushing and attacking with several NTU corners testing Aziz and the Jollilads defence. However the half went on, Jollilads finally looked more composed, passing and moving the ball around with more intent.
It was not long before, Khai punished NTU (like a real teacher would) for their fail chances, unleashing a superb free kick together with a slight deflection and went straight into the net. NTU was not to be rule out just yet, they continued sending the balls to their quick wingers only to be let down by their final ball. Just before the half ended, Jollilads again made NTU pay for their missed chances. Some good passing from Jollilads found Khai sending in a really good cross, finding Winston at the far post unmarked and making no mistake, Winston tapped the ball into the net, scoring Jollilads second for the night.
The second half was pretty much the same story with NTU surging forward looking to make a Liverpool worthy come back. And as the game continued, it seems clearer that this game was simply not a friendly with challenges flying all over the place, especially among the NTU players (insight info said competition at NTU this year was too much). To cap the night off, Chris, scoring his first (non-league) goal of the season is style, latched onto a ball that was well handed (its not a typo) down by Aaron just centimetres in front of the goal line, unleashed a shot that hit the top of the cross bar and into the goal.
Although it was definitely not the best performance from Jollilads, with two clean sheets and two wins in the lead up to our FA cup tie is a good indication. So let’s work hard and play harder on Monday and show prisons we ain’t prisoners they can mess with.
