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:
