POL-ITE 2008: Thus far

Very well, the POL-ITE games has begun and first up, Team Republic Women's Soccer team faced up against ITE. Not too bad for a start, as Yatie scored first to put the team ahead first before ITE could equalized. A very pretty goal that went over the keeper and into the net and Team Republic was up 1-0.

Last year, ITE put 11 goals past Team Republic and this year, the score was cut down drastically to just 5 goals! Also, the very first time that Team Republic has scored against ITE first. So full time and RP lost out 1-5.

2nd game, was against Singapore Polytechnic, the team that debuted in the POL-ITE in the same time as Team Republic did. In this game, Singapore Polytechnic was beaten 2 goals to nil with the courtesy of Yattie who once again, grabbed both goals! Also did we mention that there a pair of sisters who were against each other in the match? Yes, that is Dilys of Team Republic and Delia of Singapore Polytechnic! Sadly we do not have a picture of them clashing in action.

3rd game was against Ngee Ann Polytechnic who seemed to have strengthened team this year. They have a very tall striker who has scored 8 goals in all so far, with most of them coming from free kicks and corners! Female C.Ronaldo/David Beckham? After the final whistle, it was Ngee Ann Polytechnic who walked away as winners, putting 5 goals past Team Republic.

Team Republic will be up against their last and final opponent, Nanyang Polytechnic on the 24th Oct, come Friday, 6pm. Let's hope for the best and if the team wins Nanyang Polytechnic in this game, they will finish the competition 3rd!
