Queensway Friendly

The yet blazing and scorching sun did not deter the team in equalizing against their opponent. 1-1 the score at FT. Iffa, once again, hit the score-sheet, well done. It will be soon enough that her name will be making it's mark in the list of "top scorers", the team believes, with the number of goals she has been placing into the back of the net already.

Irna was made captain today in place of the injured Marjory, who is recently back from her 1 month lay-off, resting her shin splint injury. The absence of both Farrah and Fana gave Nas the chance again, to shine in goal; Ili, Irna, Faraheen and Gough made the string of defence; Shasha, Dilys, Yatie and Mary made up the midfield while Catherine and Atiqah completed the first 11 line up. As per usual, the entire team did their traditional pre-match routine - doing their team cheer before getting onto the pitch, to get the team all ready and highly-motivated for the match.

Iffa came on for Mary in the later first half but did not score yet until 15 minutes into the second half. Took the chance, got the ball, made it past 2 defenders before making that shot past Queensway's keeper. Atiqah wasn't so lucky and felt that she didn't fulfill her role as a striker but, she had 2 shots on goal, so did Yatie, with an addition of 2 shots off target. In short, RP's WST had a total of 10 shots on goal in the full 90 minutes.

The first half's play was alright and with the words from the advisor, Faz, "We need to get a goal in the first 15 minutes", during the interval, spurred the team on and right on, Iffa gave the equalizing goal within the first fifteen minutes of the second half. Not to forget the team's keeper, Nas, who did brilliantly well, saving many important goals. A job well done, immensely. Shasha, Irna and Dilys did well too, in bringing the ball down the right flank and covering areas where ever needed respectively.

Also, Team Republic WST's blog heard rumors that the team will be going to KL in December. While this is only a rumor, the team is sure excited about it but firstly, they will have to impress and do well for the upcoming POL-ITE! With such a great December to look forward to, Team Republic's WST will surely train hard and do well right?

Next up, the team is going to play a 2nd round of soccer with the Team Republic's floorballers next Wednesday. Watching floorballers playing a much bigger ball, hmm...
