FOUR Goals in FIVE minutes
Near side team: U.N.C.L.E., Alvin, Ahmad Fakhry, Kelvin Tham, Wenchong and GK
Far side team: Daniel, Simon, Chris, Peter, Rongming
Kelvin Tham and Ahmad Fakhry made their debut at The Cage today, as three regulars did not pass the late fitness test for KO tonight. Casualties include Remesh, Johnni and Chin. Peter played with an ankle injury, as he limped into the Cage. He played was the last man at the far end.
At 2010hr, Simon opened the account, scoring the first goal against GK. Simon was really getting into the game, with better techniques and touches. Junior commented at one point of the game that debutant Kelvin Tham played like Simon when he first started.
Another debutant tonight, Ahmad, was being bullied by the regulars. Everyone targeted their “oi!” at him. Well, he CANNOT play badly as he’s the spokesperson for NIKE. Sorry dude!
Three minutes later, Rongming sent his shot straight at the keeper. Chris too, missed the target despite a gapping goal moments later. And our Nike spokesperson showed him how it should be done at the other end, bagging the equaliser!
Next, Kelvin tried his luck at goal, sending a powerful shot at Daniel, who was equal to the task. The ball was over at the blind spot in a flash! We could only hear Alvin shouting “Ahmad Fakhry!” He was being forced to a corner, with nowhere to go. God knows how he did a Houdini.
Just before the half-hour mark, Wenchong put his name into the scoresheet and his team led for the first time in this game. Rongming, on the other hand, looked lost without his strike-partner, Raphael, up front.
Suddenly, we noticed Ahmad leaning against the net. He was holding something in his hand. It turned out that one of his boots could not stand the test of the Cage. Over at the other end, U.N.C.L.E. was holding up his right arm, with his left holding onto the side of his chest. The four of us started to speculate what happened. Though we did find out what happened, U.N.C.L.E. "bribed" me into omit all our discussions from this blog. For more details, speak to U.N.C.L.E. or Junior. Please don't report me to CPIB. (*wink wink*)
With 25 minutes remaining, Rongming finally found his scoring boots with his first goal of the night. But Ahmad was not a keeper to be under-rated. He made a save and started to wayang. Taking the ball, he kissed it, knelt down and kissed the ground. Picking himself up, he waved at his players, signalling for them to move back as he held onto the ball with the other. The moment he released the ball, Rongming was there to chip him. Back paddling, Ahmad let the ball slipped through his hands and into goal! I spoke too soon. This keeper wayang only. Definitely the winner for the Best Male Actor award.
Rongming warmed to this new combination of players and bagged his hat-trick in the 40th minute. At 4-2, Ahmad went back to being an “out-field” player as Kelvin Tham took his place at goal. His first heroics came when he “flew” to stop Alvin from chipping the ball home. He landed flat on the ground and was out for some time. Wenchong had to water over his head before he could get back onto his feet. The first question that he asked the spectators was “Got see or not?” Err… actually, he could touch the corner of the goal-post by just stretching. No need to make the dive leh. Debutant’s jittery?
44th minute, Daniel showed that keepers too, can scored. But he did not score as a keeper, but as an out-field player. Simon then bagged his second for the night and the score read 6-2.
While I was taking notes, U.N.C.L.E. shouted 6-3. Who scored huh? Then U.N.C.L.E. had three consecutive tries against Chris. He sent none of them home. Chris then dived left to keep the score intact, and was back on his feet immediately. Hahaha! Trying to make Kelvin looked silly huh? And while I was writing all these down, the score was 6-4. U.N.C.L.E., who scored? Or was there a goal?
With Kelvin as keeper, he tried to play U.N.C.L.E. out. Shouting and releasing the ball to him at every opportunity he had. U.N.C.L.E. injured leh! Kelvin Tham! Don't bully the elderly lah. If not we report you to SPCA – Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to the Aged!
The next moment of comedy was when one of Chris’ shoes came flying, together with the ball. Hahahah!
RAPHAEL joined the fray with five minutes remaining. Three minutes later, Kelvin came off his area and with the goal gapping and Alvin back peddling, there was nothing to stop RAPHAEL from making the score 7-4. (I not sure if score correct at this point)
Refused to let this LATECOMER basked in all the glory, Rongming extended the lead to 8-4. Then RAPHAEL switched sides and it was 8-5. Seconds later, it was 8-6. My clock read 2104hr when RAPHAEL scored the last goal for 8-7.
The final score was correct.
RAPHAEL scored four goals in the space of five minutes.
Amazing, but true.
