With a series of sensational victories on the trot, jollilads carried on their amazing form, hitting 7 goals to leave Keppel Monaco shell-shocked.

The game plan was simple , keep the pressure in their half and work as a team to win the ball as high up as possible. Despite the scorching heat, It didn't take long for Jollilads to open their account. Calvin got hold of the ball, bulldozed his way past two defenders before slotting the ball into the bottom corner of the net. 1-0 jollilads!

By this time, the goal margin has widen sufficiently for jollilads to cruise to victory courtesy of 2 goals in quick succession from feroz and brandon, but that didnt stop them from throwing men forward. From an inch perfect corner, Long made sure he stretched his body "long" enough to head the ball into the net. A personal milestone as he recorded his first ever jollilad's goal .

A good build-up from defence to midfield found Darren free on the right. In that position , nobody is better in sending goal-threatening balls into the box. And sure he did. Darren's ball found an eager cheng wei ( now with shin pads on ) who slotted in with his famous left foot.

Second half substitute Nelson made immediate impact upon coming on. Receiving a superb ball from midfield, he burst past the last defender, only to be denied by the onrushing goal-keeper. However, the ball fell kindly for zi rui, and with an open goal to shoot at, he wasnt going to miss. At that moment, time came to a standstill as he set himself up and took a 30m laser guided shot into the centre of the goal! GOAL! Worthy contender for goal of the season.

Making use of their numerical advantage, Jollilads pressed on further for the next goal. This time supply came from make-shift right winger guoxing , as he raced down the right flank, teleported past one defender, before squaring the ball impeccably for Brandon to finish off the move with a rare right foot volley.

The game might have been marred by the ugly side of football but that shouldnt over-shadow what was a fantastic performance from jollilads. To score 7 goals against any opponent in this division is no mean feat, and Jollilads did it their way. They played their own brand of football and came out on top today. Ying ni!

Jollilads 2 Gambas 1

HT 0-1

Goals: Calvin, Chengwei
Assists: Raihan, Muhadher

Tactical masterstroke from Coach Arasu proved to be a difference in what was a first half horror show by the lads. The lads were second best in every department and it was a case of dejavu when the lads once again conceded first. Arasu's tactical switch of bringing in Brandon , Chengwei and Raihan paid dividends when Jollilads came from behind to score 2 goals to achieve the much awaited first league win.

Lineup: Wee yang, Tin yau, Jon, Aidil, Anand, Feroz, Muhadher, Bul(Chengwei),Wee Jian(Brandon), Calvin, Sean (Raihan)
