Glitz 2008

On the 21st May 2008, Republic Polytechnic hosted their very own annual Glitz Awards (which is also known as the Sports Awards) at their very own Theatre of Dreams, the Sports Complex.

Among the list of the night's awardees were 8 of Team Republic's Women Soccer players who were awarded Meritorious Silver, Certificate of Merit and Sports for Good respectively:

Meritorious Silver:
Irna
Dilys
Marjory

Certificate of Merit:
Bernice

RP 'Sports for Good':

Also, Marjory was one of the 5 nominees for Female Captain of the Year and in the event, she was crowned Female Captain of the Year! Not to forget the team's 3 coaches who were also awarded for their efforts. Namely Faz, Ahad and Razali, who took much patience in grooming the team!

A team photo for the Glitz Awards night:

and did we mention that "Mcfly" was among us during that night? Well, yes, indeed, they were among us in their all-black and white suit HOWEVER, they are the female version of Mcfly! Perhaps soon, someday they will become the 2nd generation of Mcfly and make it big!

There they are, the "Mcfly"!

So once again, a huge Congratulations to all award winners and hopefully the team soon gets onto the list of Team of The Year for next year's Glitz!

With thanks to Farhana for the photos from the event :)

Hi Monika Staab!

Earlier this evening, the team had an hour and a half of soccer clinic held by the 2007 WWC's Champions, Germany's ex coach, Monika Staab. She is currently working with FIFA, traveling around to do a global development for women's soccer. She's currently here in Singapore, working with the Football Association here to assist in their development in the women's soccer as well. More of her profile can be found here. Though it was quite a brief session, the team sure have enjoyed the fun session. There was the see-who-can-grab-the-most-number-of-bibs game while each move around with their own ball which was the one where everyone enjoyed the most. The session ended with some overlap shooting and a 4 v 4.

It sure is a good session for the team as well, working back on their basics, which is what a football player needs. Being equipped with the basics for football is the most essential for anyone who wants to play football.

So, as per usual, the team had a team photo together with Monika before she left:
Once again, Thank You Monika for the fun session!
