Today,we had our usual training in the Woodlands court.After meeting up,we had two matches against different Woodlands Sec teams.In the first match,we played out an convincing victory with a scoreline of xenon 3-1 woodlands sec team 1. Hasyim made an immense contribution by scoring a hat-trick.Ratesh let in a goal late on,but made some good saves to redeem himself.Good job Ratesh(<---Really).
However,we lost the next match to Woodlands Sec team 2 with a similar 3-1 score.Fadhli,Jin Xuan and Hasyim were not available for this match as they were low on energy after the first epic match.Luqman played on,however,with me and........Zul replacing the other players.We let in 2 early goals with Ratesh just standing still when they scored the first.The second was,however,a unlucky goal.Ratesh saved a shot with his superb goalkeeping skills(<---Really),but made a hassle of a clearance by sending it straight to Luqman and into the empty net.However,at that difficult situation,Fadhli made a timely comeback,replacing Zul.He made an instant impact,giving the opponent's defenders a hard time,and eventually with a great shot he reduced the deficit by half.After that goal,we were more determined than ever,with Luqman,Keng Hao and ........Zul defending stoutly,making brave tackles and marking well.We frustrated their strikers and created several counter-attacking chances.For our tired(due to playing for long periods) strikers,however,it was too much to beat their firm defense and beat their superb goalkeeper.The opponents then swarmed forward in numbers,and one of their strikers made two shots,the second from a rebound.Ratesh pulled off a amazing double save,but the ball again fell to their striker,who this time shot it straight at Ratesh's agile legs(<---Really) and into the goal.
At the end of the day,it was a job well done for Xenon,and all our players also improved alot.
Note:Anthony is close to being retrenched because of poor attendance.
