While the team takes a one week break before their next game against Middle Rangers 'B', there is news that 18 from the team would be going on a trip to....you've guessed it, Australia!
As for now we do not know yet who are the chosen 18 but a December trip to the western Australia would definitely be a trip much welcomed! While the weather forecast has it that it would be a hot 27-30 degrees in the summer, it would be great time to busk in the sun and get some tan! At least the team would not be soaking in the rain as rain is unusual in the summer.
If you think that the girls are there for a holiday, well, fact is that they are there to participate in the annual Indian Rim Asian University Games! Who are they going to face? We are not sure yet. As for now, all minds are set on Middle Rangers 'B'.
4 more matches before we call it a day on the Youth League 2009, can Team Republic finish top half of the table? Stay tuned to find out!

Post-match: VJC
Yet again another tough fight between both teams saw the score tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Yi Wen opened the scoring in the first half, only for VJC to score the equalizer 10 minutes later. Both teams were on par with their attacks and Team Republic came close on many occasions to adding onto the scoreline! Nurjannah and Shasha Daud could have scored however, their shots went above the post.
It sure seemed that Team Republic was going to win it in the late second half when Azhmeera Shasha was brought on for Yi Wen. With her well known pace, Shasha received a through ball, went past her opponent before taking a low shot, only for the ball to land into the safe hands of VJC's goalkeeper for a good 3 seconds before Fazilah took a shot on the loose ball which went above the post!
While VJC's captain Ang Kuan Ren posed as a threat with her snake-dribbling ability and her dangerous shots, Team Republic managed to clear out those danger balls. Zahidah also did well in goal, saving many on-target shots!
Bernice, Yi Wen and Nurjannah celebrates the opening goal.
