Its Good To Be Back

After a long hiatus reflecting on the highs and lows of the past season, your dear reporter is back for the new season. This new season promises greater excitement with a revamped team and new rivals.

SCC have fled to the grener pastures of Div 1 while the ever-passionate Ang Mo Ko Utd has faced an upheaval like no other. Donning the colors of AMK this year will be familiar Jollilads alumni Zhiwei, Aik Leong, Lionel and King Yau, as well as promising youngsters awaiting entry into university - Dillon, Ken etc. This blend of youthful enthusiasm and wily experience (do not confuse with ability to dive) sets AMK apart from the rest in the league and they are the early favorites to be promoted.

JAFC will once again be using the league as a platform for blooding talent, and this is apparent in the team's selection for the coming season, with only 40% of last season's team remaining.

JAFC Team List

NTU (9): Aaron, Feroz, Nadeem, Kennard, Winston, Tianci (gk), Zul, Khai, Fuhang

SMU (7): Jerry, Andrew, Weiming, Junrong, Victor, Pramod, Tim (gk)

NUS (8): Chris, Chengwei, Fabian, Rafi, Daowei, Aziz (gk), Anand, Sudi

SIM (1): Jerome

With regard to the team selection, team manager Mr Chiang would like to stress that JAFC is NOT an elitist team made up of players with big-name reputations. Instead, JAFC aims to provide a platform of structured training and coaching to all who are interested in improving their football, with the eventual goal of improving the overall standard of uni football.

Is this a recipe for disaster? Well, coach Arasu of JAFC certainly doesnt think so," I can guarantee you we wont be relegated! If we do, then i will resign as coach." 

This confidence seems to be justified based on JAFC's recent friendly against a SAFFC's prime league team. Although JAFC was on the wrong end of a 2-1 result, the overall team effort contained positives that would serve the team well in the league - Attitude and Desire. 

Now that the blog has been revived, it would be great if you, dear readers, can help spread the word to the newcomers that the blog will be the main medium of communication for training matters, games and any announcement in particular. (SMSes are too tedious and expensive) You may refer to the box on the right for a snapshot of the latest events.

With that, let me end off by showing you what the players have been up to with regards to inter-uni team bonding...

 

Wed 25th Feb
