Pre-trip Preparation

In just another 24 hours +, the team would be leaving for Bangkok, Thailand for their POL-ITE Preparation. They would be having 3 friendlies while there and hence it is important for them to get familiarize with their playing position and formation! They're definitely busy packing all their gears in and of course, when all else fails to fit into your luggage, you gota just sit on it and flatten everything in there!

In the past couple of weeks, if you have been following us on Twitter, you would have read that the team has been playing friendlies with various teams on homeground. That said, the team has been training hard week in and out for the friendlies and also for their Bangkok friendlies.

Below are the scores from the various friendlies:

19 Aug | RPWST 0 - 0 SIM (D)
24 Aug | RPWST 2 - 1 NUS (W)
3 Sep | RPWST 1 - 4 Arion FC (L)
7 Sep | RPWST 1 - 2 Bowen Sec School (L), RPWST 0 - 2 Sg American School (L)

In summary, it's a WDLLL from 5 friendlies. Definitely tired and busy but these friendlies will all be worth it in preparation against their Thai opponents.

We do hope to bring you some photos and videos (P&V) from the trip but we cannot promise you that. The blog will try if possible else, we will bring you the trip's P&V after the team returns on Sunday!

As usual, keep following us on our twitter @rpwst for updates along the way!

Its a wrap from the Youth League!

Apologies on the delay on the Youth League! In this entry, we have our defender, Eve Kaur who writes in about the match.

It was the last match of the Youth League, RP v VJC Alumni, KO at 745pm and the ladies jumped into action. The first half was full of opportunities for both sides as VJC kept the defenders and goalkeeper busy for that evening.

In the second half, RPWST was down 0-2 but this made the ladies even more determined to equalize and win the match. Ernie tore down the pitch and chipped in a goal over VJC's goalkeeper, bringing the score to 1-2. Soon after, Shank scored another great goal inside the box to even the score at 2-2 and the entire bench erupted with joy!

Nothing looked impossible at this point of time and the fire within the ladies kept strong pressute on VJC's half. The burning spirit of the ladies on and off the pitch kept going but the score remained at 2-2 at the final whistle.

Jannah shields the ball away from a VJC player.

Ernie rushes down on the left with the ball and scores the first goal!

Celebration followed by the Ernie's great goal.

So yes, it's a wrap and the team finished the League in 5th placing with 8 points. Up next, the team would be embarking on a training trip to Bangkok as they prepare for the upcoming POL-ITE this Oct.

Till then, follow us on twitter @ www.rpwst.com/rpwst for more updates on the move!

Remember that?

Remember Aisyah's goal that we mentioned a month back?

Now here we have it for you! Watch the white circle, that is Aisyah.

In the background, you will hear some men's voices. Those are the voices of some of the men who were there watching the training while they wait for their turn to head to the field for try-outs back then for the men's team...Needless to say, they were ..... quite impressed with the goal!
