New year, new outfit!

Not only did the team get a new medal coming into the new year but also a new training kit!

Today, the training kits, all colored in the nation's color of red arrived and was given out to the team! This year, the team did away with the usual green! Let's hope that this red will fire them well during training for the upcoming POL-ITE!

RP v NUS: Recap

The team lost out 1-3 in a 3-halves friendly against NUS last Thursday on a muddy pitch.

In the first half, the team had possession, played well and had good passing among each other. However, the team appeared to have difficulties converting all attacks into goals.

In the second half, the team fought harder, ran for every ball and grabbed all opportunities to bring the ball into the penalty box and was still unable to score. With the bad condition of the field, the team had to put in double the effort to run against the muddy field.

In the final half, Jannah brought the ball from the middle of the field and with the assistance of vice-captain Salasiah, brought the ball into the penalty box and scored! What a way to score with 3 NUS defenders in the box!

Next up, the team faces NYP today over at NYP's homeground. As Sheu has put it, "We hope to give another great fight against them!"

Now, onto the photos:

All 'LIVE' here and check back for half-time score!

The team is getting ready with some warm-up as we end this entry...

At half-time ... and Team Republic trails by 3 goals. Shalasiah, Magdalene and Ilyana were very close in the first 10mins only to be unlucky!

Full time, the score stands at 1-3, with the only goal from Jannah.
