Match Preview
As time ticks closer towards 31st August, the match between RFC and BPFC draws closer. After nearly a month out of action, BPFC is eager to keep their unbeaten record against RFC at woodgrove secondary. History is not on the side of BPFC the last game played there for BPFC ended in a woeful 2-1 loss after conceding 2 corner kicks, one of which was right at the death. This is also not helped by the fact that the scouts sent out by BPFC all came back with a serious and stern report, all of which revealing the tremendous amount of quality and talent from the opposite camp.
"We will be facing a very different RFC from the one that played at NUS. The players must be mentally and physically prepared and raise their level of performance for this game." - Gaffer Ang
There are still doubts over the availability of 3 key players in Favian, Yun and Yu Hao whilst Kel and Song have ruled themselves out for the game once again. Favian is suffering from a broken toe nail, Yun will be playing only if his book in timing is later whiles Yuhao has seemingly gone AWOL and the last that was heard from him was "hello! i prefer 3-5 woodgrove..haha ". Should the 3 of them be available on Sunday, there will be intense competition in the starting 11 and im sure this competition can only be a healthy one. Goalkeeping defender Kai has declared football over religion this weekend and he will be challenging for a place in the back 4 with world best right back Ang. Ex top scorer Steven Oon has also managed to swap his duty and will be back in the squad, hoping to outscore current golden boon Alan with hopefully goals that will not be deemed as offside. The rest of the squad have all declared fit and ready to break the curse at Woodgrove's field.
Despite strong words from the manager himself, the media has been hyping about the Gaffer's seemingly rounded outlook. When interviewed by the press, some fans have casted doubts over the manager's fitness as he was often seen lurking around at the Frontier, the science faculty canteen. In order to find out more, a reporter for the Strikes Times specially went down to school and true enough, he found injured Kel and singing left back Joel Yeo having prata and thosai with lots of curry. Ang is reported to be in a bad shape and might not be able to last the full 90 minutes on Sunday.
On another note, the only non-bpian in the club was given an official warning for his poor performance during the pumping of the spalding ball on Wednesday. Due to the boring nature of the tutorial and the large amount of tiongs in the class, Joel felt bored and decided to pump the ball in order to get ready for the street soccer game later on. A seemingly easy task was made difficult after Joel's ignorance broke the needle, leaving half the needle in the ball and the other broken half in the pump. The BPFC board of directors have decided to give Yeo another chance and any recurrence of Wednesday's incident will mean he will be demoted to just a ball pumper in future to improve his skills.
Bullshit aside, its been quite some time since our last game and Im quite sure quite a few of us not in NS have lost quite a lot of fitness since school started. Attendance is quite encouraging and the opponents should be really strong. We are a decent young team. Lets keep our shape and play our slick passing the way we want it. Enjoy the beautiful game. Lets do it against this Raffles team, we smelly smelly also is RI of the west. hahaha
