Friendlies and rest

Today marks the 2nd day of the 3 and a half days of break from training for the team.

They had a friendly last Saturday against one of the better ITE teams, ITE Simei and lost out 1-4. Shasha got the equalizing goal in the 21st minute before ITE Simei replied within minutes and added in another 2, 1 coming in in the latter first half and the last one in the second half. Team Republic had many chances and were close on many occasions but were just unfortunate. But nonetheless, the team's play is definitely getting better as the weeks go by. Most players will still be rotated around to play in various positions as coach Faz is trying to get each player to be versatile.

As for this week, training for the team will resume only on Wednesday and below is the schedule for the week:

Wednesday & Friday: Training
Saturday : Friendly with NTU, 1600h.

Also, the team will be participating in their first ever major tournament (other than the annual POL-ITE) , the Women's Youth League in the latter part of this month, about 2 weeks from now! First up, they will be facing the 'B' team of Arion Women FC on the 26th July over at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Let's hope this tournament will help the team in preparation for their annual POL-ITE as the team aims to finish top 3 this time!
