NSIMI FC 2-3 Team Francis

After almost two years in hiatus,NSIMI FC played their first match on a dark cloudy Sunday morning at Tanglin Secondary School.Due to many players being unable to play,NSIMI had to make a few emergency signings such as Abdul Hakim and Ernest Aw.Captain and serial joker Huang Ziting,as well as defensive lynchpin Muhd Nasrullah were forced to miss out due to NSF commitments and overnight chalets respectively.Defensive midfielder Yong Jie,who was on loan to NSIMI FC for the past 2 years,was finally signed permanently on a five year contract with a buyout clause of $5.00. Star midfielder Francis,decided to play for the opponents,much to the derision of NSIMI players but nevertheless,the game went on as usual,with NSIMI having only 11 players.With players like Kelvin Ho,the worry of playing with virtually 10 men was a worry.There were also two hotly anticipated comebacks from two of NSIMI's most important players,with veteran goalkeeper Vikram ''Almunia'' Vijayakumar and Tan Peng Yang aka Theo Walcott playing their first competitive game in almost 2 years.However,due to his loss of speed,or in Kelvin's words ''In PES last time speed 87,now speed 60'', Peng Yang was forced to reinvent himself at right back,playing like this season's Gary Neville.

NSIMI FC Starting Lineup:

Goalkeeper: Vikram ''Almunia'' Vijayakumar

Right Back: Tan Peng Yang aka Gary Neville

Centrebacks: Ernest Aw and Andrew Ooi

Left Back: Jeremy ''Bale'' Cheong

Right wing: Eugene Tham Kok Wai

Defensive Midfield: Yong Jie

Attacking Midfield: Abdul Hakim

Left Wing: Jerry ''Beetle'' Ang

Strikers: Kwee Yi Yang and Kelvin ''Horrendous'' Ho

The game started off badly with NSIMI conceding two goals in the space of 20 minutes due to defensive mistakes from the entire backline. However,after a tactical reshuffle in which Koi enthusiast Kwee Yi Yang was switched to left wing and the game started to turn in NSIMI's favour. Soon,NSIMI pulled one goal back.Marauding right back Tan Peng Yang made a lung busting run to join in the attack,playing a one-two with his sex partner Eugene Tham before crossing the ball and earning a corner.There was a goalmouth scramble from the resulting corner and centre back Ernest Aw scored a superb goal with his left foot to make it 2-1.

After the goal,NSIMI started to dominate the game,particularly in the centre of the park,with new signing Yong Jie having a great game and keeping the opposition star player Francis quiet.NSIMI soon made it 2-2 after a super lucky move from the two gays,Jeremy and Jerry.Jeremy,after getting the ball,panicked and took a swing at the ball and the ball landed int the path of Jerry,who unleashed a stunning volley over the opposing goalkeeper into the back of the net. The entire club has been waiting for Jerry to score his maiden goal for NSIMI and the goal felt like a burden was lifted off his shoulders.We hope that was not the last goal that he will score for NSIMI FC.

However,NSIMI went behind again shortly after.The opposition winger played a one two with the central midfielder and exposed Peng Yang's lack of pace and crossed for the opposition striker to guide the ball into the net with his crotch.Despite the setback,NSIMI continued to dominate the game and almost equalized again from a corner when centre back Andrew Ooi's effort was cleared off the line.With his new mercurial vapour boots,Andrew Ooi was the man of the match,making several timely interceptions and at one point,made a mazy run past three defenders,reminiscent of Tan Peng Yang against MJC.However,his greatest moment of the match came near half time,when the opposition striker started to have cramp.Andrew commented ''我不是第一个cramp'' With that comment,Andrew wins our Man of the Match Award.

Despite the loss,it was a good performance from NSIMI FC.Hopefully,the next game will be on 4th June against Team Houxu.
