Some of the feedback I gathered after the game went like these, "Quite a poor game, huh?" commented one of them, "Warriors couldn't match the cubs (Young Lions) pace at times and defence is a suspect this year with or without Daniel Bennett (who was suspended for this opener)." On the contrary, SAFFC's coach Richard Bok felt otherwise as he lauded his defenders' performance after saw his team clinched the victory over their hosts. "After last year's disappointment, we decided to strengthen our b

Locals' pride was salvaged in the last 10 minutes of the game as Tampines Rovers came from behind to snatch a dramatic 2-1 win over the recently-revamped defending champions Etoile FC in the season opener - The Charity Shield at the Jalan Besar Stadium. Things didn't start off too pretty for the Stags as they found themselves with a goal down from a spot-kick from Etoile in less than 20 minutes. And things just don't looked good when Tampines found themselves struggled upfront with lone striker Aleksandar Duric being deprived the service of Ahmad Latiff Khamaruddin as the ace midfielder was replaced in the 43rd minute due to a slight knock on his left knee.

"The team was formed barely 15 days ago and coupled the fact that we just flew in from France, therefore we just lack th

GEYLANG UNITED 13-1 REVOLUTION FC (MALAYSIA) on 9th Jan 2011 Geylang Utd beat Revolution FC from Malaysia 13-1 in friendly fixture at the Bedok Stadium. By the first half of the game, the Eagles were already 7-0 up against the amateur outfit from the other side of the Causeway. With a comfortable margin, Geylang altered much of their original first XI in the second half to wrap the game with six more goals with two from a trialist known as "Mikey" (Mihailo Dutina - pictured above "floating in the air") with the visitors pulled one consolation along the process. TAMPINES ROVERS 4-1 BALESTIER KHALSA on 15th Jan 2011 Balestier (pictured above red jersey outfit) coach Salim Moin, "I'm not too worry about the scoreline.
