NFL Match 4 Report
Gut Wrenching
Amassing 2 points from 3 games played, Jollilads welcomed back ‘Speedy Gonzalez’ Guo Xing, a ‘coughing but no flu’ Kennard, the ever handsome Raihan and the SMU 3 musketeers.. The importance of getting a good result from this game was epitomized with the early arrival of Anand, who for the first time since I knew him, came early, gaining Coach’s approval and warranting a starting spot..
Looking to get the season on track, Jollilads shot out of the starting blocks akin to being chased by a lizard, playing confidently, while looking solid and tight at the back.. 10 men Kaki Bukit were hassled all over, with Wei Jian and Zi Rui breaking up their play, fullbacks Anand and Guoxing rampaging their respective flanks, alike Ashley Cole and Bosingwa.. With Raihan providing the attacking impetus, Jollilads started to dominate the game, taking shots at goal, drawing smart fouls and passing the ball intelligently, yet were not able to penetrate the Kaki Bukit defence.. This changed, as Raihan sent a delicious through ball for Bul, only to send the ball inches wide of the left post after leaving the keeper sprawling on the floor.. Another concerted attack from the Men in White led to a Bul shot smacking the top of the bar, but no net..
Half time came and went..
The second half began alike the first, with Jollilads peppering the Kaki Bukit goal with crosses, free kicks, dribbles, even goal kicks, however, the goal eluded all.. With an analogy of Chaos Theory, Kaki Bukit took the lead against the run of play, Dalis Supiat received a loose ball, being closely watched by Kennard, he played a sweet through ball, slicing the Jollilads defence, resulting in the onrushing striking to calmly stroke the ball past Wee Yang.. The goal set the tone for the rest of the game, with Jollilads looking to attack at all costs and Kaki Bukit looking to play on the counter.. Time eventually ran out, consigning Jollilads to a gut wrenching, hugely upsetting defeat..

NFL Match 4: Jollilads vs Kaki Bukit
Jollilads 0 Kaki Bukit 1
HT 0 - 1
Jollilads found it difficult to break down Kaki Bukit despite the latter playing with only 10 players for the most part of the first half. It was their player who came very very late, ex-national Dalias Supiat, who rejuvenated the otherwise poor Kaki Bukit. Despite all of Jollilads chances, it was Kaki Bukit who scored through a rare counter attack late in the second half leaving the lads devastated.
Lineup: Wee Yang, Guoxin, Kennard, Aidil, Anand, Weijian, Zhirui(Feroz), Nelson(Muhadher), Raihan, Sudi, Bul(Shaun)

NFL Match 3 Report
Ready, Set, GO! Opps..
On a unique Saturday whereby there was no rain, Jollilads lined up against Pioneer CSC with 14 players, one of whom was ‘really really sick’. With Jon’s cry for presentation of our ‘A’ games, Jollilads were the more creative side with the word ‘GO’. A corner from Brandon found Feroz, who lashed a volley goalwards, only to see a crucial block made by one of their defenders.
Mayhem followed that, with Pioneer stepping up a gear, taking the game to Jollilads. A corner was swung in, and amongst heads and a pair of gloves, a Pioneer head met the ball, only for Captain Rock to head off the line and to safety. Jollilads were living on the edge, with Pioneer finding their feet and threading through balls through the left and right. A rare mistake by dependable defence found a black shirt, who volleyed the ball past the despairing hands of Wee Yang. 1 – 0 to Pioneer. A statistic to note: Thus far, Jollilads have never opened the scoring.
With the lead, Pioneer went into the second half looking to soak up the pressure and countering with the speed of their striker. However, it was Jollilads who stepped up a gear, and with the substitution of Anand for Calvin, went in search of that goal which would earn them half a pie. In one of the many concerted attacks produced, Brandon cheekily back – heeled the ball to Vincent, who showed his quality to curl the ball past the keeper. 1 – 1!
With both teams in search of the winner, tired legs of Pioneer saw them pegged back, with the likes of Brandon and Sudi running the attacks in search of the whole pie. Alas, as time ran out, the pie was to be shared among both teams, as the first win of the season continued to elude the Jolly lads. Till the next game, Ying Ni!

NFL Match 3: Jollilads vs Pioneer CSC
Pioneer 1 Jollilads 1
HT 1 - 0
Jollilads once again lived up to being perennial slow starters by going down 1 - 0 through a marvellous strike by the pioneer centreforward halfway through the 1st half. As always, the goal woke the lads up and their determination to equalize were duly rewarded when Vincent scored his second of the season. The last 15 minutes saw both teams trying to score the killer second goal although Jollilads had the better chances to score. The first win of the season awaits.

NFL Match 1: Match Report
Jollilads Arsenal-ed..
Under the blazing sun of a Saturday Afternoon, Jolly lads lined up for their first N.F.L game against Singapore Power. In the battle of 3rd and 4th placed clubs of the previous season, Jollilads started the game with only one player from the previous squad, with the man-monster captaining the team.
As the first half progressed, Jollilads gave their opponents too much respect, giving them time and space on the ball, while not keeping possession well, with many loose passes.. However, against the run of play, it was the team in white that had the first clear cut chance.. NUS star winger, Vincent, robbed their centre back of the ball, and in an one-on-one situation, stroked the ball past the keeper, beating his outstretched arms and unfortunately, the post, inducing loud groans on the bench..
As the clocked ticked towards half time, Mr Chiang decided to beef things up in midfield and sought to inject a quicker tempo into the game via the introduction of Kennard for Wafi, with Feroz pushing up to midfield and Muhadher shifting to the right..
This tactic back-fired as a quick cross from the right met the head on an oncoming striker who somehow managed to find space between the defence..
During half time, Mr Chiang sought to address the issue of composure and calmness and encouraged us to believe in ourselves and show fighting spirit.. His team talk worked, within minutes of the kick off, Calvin juggled and fooled his way past 2 defenders and hit a looping left foot strike that found the top corner, a superb piece of individual skill which will certainly be a contender for goal of the season.. In another concerted attack by Jollilads, Muhadher found Vincent with a right wing cross, to which Vincent chipped the ball into the keeper’s chest and remembering his blast in the first half, decided to pass the ball into the net.. 2-1 Jollilads..
From then on, it was all Singapore Power with Jollilads attempting to breach their defence with the pace and trickery of Vincent, Shuan, Chengwei and Hasbullah..
As the rain petered down, the defence in white put their bodies on the line for 3 precious points, with sliding tackles, blocked shots and supreme reading of the game.. Farhan Fahrouk was essentially marked out of the game with Kennard providing the most attention (if only studies could be applied with a similar principle), and Jonathon covering and clearing any loose balls..
In what proved to be a cruel twist in the tale, a cross field ball found their no. 12, with a touch, he moved into the penalty area, and although Kennard tried his best to cover the shot, he tricked his way to his right with a deft touch, and was tripped by Khyrul (funny thing was, Kennard was on the receiving end of the booking).. The penalty was subsequently sent down the centre with Khyrul diving to his left.. With 3 minutes of regulation time remaining, a cross into the box found Vincent, however his 2 snapshots were blocked by their defence, with time eventually running out..
This draw would prove to be 2 points lost rather to a point gained, for a loss of concentration proved to be the difference, yet on the other side of the coin, with this game sandwiched between exams, it was indeed a bright start to the campaign.. Let’s take this draw well, for the inclusion and integration of many new players proved to be quite a success, allow me to give credit to those playing for Combined Uni for the first time, it was indeed a good performance individually, especially during the second half.. Let’s bring on Zamrud!
Till the next, I’ll leave you with the quote of the week from Jon: “This is the first time I get a yellow for telling the truth”..
Ying Ni!
