The 2nd match for Team Republic WST against U16 did not go well.
The team was determined to go all out and create a win for themselves however, slumped to a 1-4 defeat on homeground.
After the pre-match briefing and breaking fast, the first 11 got onto the field to warm up. The first few minutes of the game went well but the flanks were facing problems attacking as the U16 players were reacting quickly to win possession. The U16 were composed in this match and were hungry to win the team after losing to NTU and SAS previously. End of first half and the U16 were leading by 2 goals.
In the second half, the team tried their best to get into the U16 attack however conceded another 2 goals, increasing the score line to 0-4. Fortunately, a rough tackle by a U16 defender against Jannah presented the team with a chance to score. Jannah stepped up and took the free-kick, placing it into the top right hand corner of U16's net and reduced the score line to a 3 goal deficit.
Full time, final score 1-4 and this sums up as a bad day for the team.
The team hasn't win any games yet but as Sheu has put it, "We will fight harder and gain back our pride for the upcoming games!"
Next up, the team faces SAS away on SAS homeground on Sunday, 12 Sep, 5pm. Let's go, team!

Recap: Youth League Updates - UWC
The annual Youth League had just begun 2 weeks ago and so far, the team faced UWC and the facied National U16 side in their first 2 matches. Both matches were played on home ground.
In their first match, the team faced UWC. The team was ready to fight against UWC at their very own home ground. The first half was rather good as the team was mostly penetrating into the opponent's half and could have given themself a huge lead. In the later part of the first half, UWC was awarded a penalty kick due to a hand ball and converted the penalty smoothly.
In the second half, the team came back stronger after the half time briefing by Coach Feiruz. They played harder and got back into the game. The defenders were busy holding back UWC's strikers while the midfielders assisted by going into the attack, hoping to get a goal to even out the score line. Unfortunately, a handball by the team gave UWC another chance for goal.
Full time whistle and RP was defeated by UWC 0-2.
Now, we move onto the pictures!

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:

At half-time ... and Team Republic trails by 3 goals. Shalasiah, Magdalene and Ilyana were very close in the first 10mins only to be unlucky!
Full time, the score stands at 1-3, with the only goal from Jannah.
