Long overshadowed by its more glamorous counterparts (i.e.: the S.League and the Singapore Cup), the FA Cup is the third major tournament organized by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) since 1995.
From 1999 onwards, the tournament had become a chance for a silverware for the NFL clubs after a decision was made that S.League clubs should not longer participate in this competition with Tanjong Pagar United being the last professional club to clinch the honour in 1998 after beating Sembawang Rangers at the demolished National Stadium.
However, the admission of Prime League squads of the S.League clubs in 2006 had end the monopoly of these NFL sides on this trophy with each year finalists since then having a side being the secondary squad of a professional setup with them walked away as winners on three occasions.
Unfortunately, the last two editions of the Cup Final saw the part-timers triumphed over their much illustrious opponents with the two Padang-based clubs crowned as the winners of the tournament in 2009 (Singapore Cricket Club) and 2010 (Singapore Recreation Club, pictured above).
Come this coming Thursday at the Jalan Besar Stadium will see the reigning Cup holders SRC facing the challenge again from the Tampines Rovers Prime League team in the repeat of last year's final, would the young Stags able to avenge for their loss last year after defeated SAFFC? We know the answer this if you join us for the 7.30pm kick-off.
