Special Training
Xenons, take note. There will be a special Xenon on-field training at the Sembawang field this Friday and all fit players are required to attend this training. This three-hour programme will enhance Xenons' performance on the field in terms of basic skills like passing, shooting, man-marking and so on. At the end of the day, there will be a match between one half of Xenon and another half. The traiining will also determine the starting eleven against a Woodlands team next week.
Next, on the same day itself, Xenon will hold a trial for Young Hearts United FC striker, Heirul. Captain Hasyim has expresses his interest in signing the youngster after his superb performance against Xenon on two separate occasions. If the deal is sealed, Xenon's attack force is very much increased due to the previous two signings of Nicholas and Sean.
Finally, there will be a normal training tommorow. That's all for XenoNews.

Revenge of the Fallen
Starting line up: Fadhli(striker,played 90minutes), Hasyim(striker,played 90 minutes), Sean Tan(left midfielder,played 90 minutes), Syazwi(central midfielder,played 85 minutes), Sijie(right midfielder,played 20+5 minutes), Farhan(left back [guest] ,played 90 minutes),Nashir(centre back [guest ],played 90 minutes), Luqman(right back,played 90 minutes) , Keng Hao(center back, played 80 mins), Nabil(Goalkeeper,played 80 minutes)
Subs:Ratesh (subbed on at 75th minute,played 15 minutes), Xing Yang(Subbed on at 20th minute,played 60 minutes), Zulhilmi(Subbed on at 75th minute,played 15 minutes)
Today,at Young Hearts'(aka North Kryse) sembawang field,Xenon pulled off a scintillating win over the home team.The scoreline was Xenon 5 : 3 Young Hearts,with the man of the match,as recommended by Fadhli,being vice-captain Syazwi.
The match started out in the worst possible way for Xenon,with lax marking and poor judgement of passes resulting in 3 quick,consecutive goals in 15 minutes for Young Hearts.However,Xenon woke up after the poor showing,and started an remarkable comeback.
After several close chances for Xenon was wasted,Syazwi skipped past 2 defenders before hammering in a powerful shot past the goalkeeper for the start of the eventual reversal.Then,a handball from a Hearts player ensured a penalty for us.The penalty was taken by Syazwi,who after having his shot saved,converted the rebound to reduce the deficit to one.After that,more good chances for Xenon were denied by some find saves from the opposition goalkeeper,but even he could not stop Fadhli from scoring the imminent equaliser,by squeezing in a great shot from a narrow angle.The half time whistle did not stop Xenon from their hot streak,though.
After the half time break,we piled the pressure on their defense,circulating fine passes and allowing little movement from their strikers with close man-marking.Syazwi put Xenon one goal up for the first time in the match,by steering a thunderbolt from long range,and shortly after,sending a teasing cross to the center for Fadhli,who tapped the ball in at the far post to complete the comeback.
This is a "Revenge of the fallen" indeed.Well done Xenons,for getting a thoroughly deserved win,and showing great will and determination to make the comeback.

Vice- captain Syazwi stated he will not be included for tommorow's fixture against Young Hearts FC.
' The signing of Sean Tan might be a useful addition to our squad but he is must attend more trainings to find himself in the fixtures' stressed Syazwi.

Should Keng Hao fails to come, either Zul or Xing Yang will replace him. Ilyas is given a day's off due to an illness and Nicholas will make his debut start. Haiqal will be more offensive to replace Fayyaz.

Xenon effort shines despite defeat
Just a week after crushing Crimson FC,Xenon was brought back down to earth with a tight defeat against North Kryse FC.The scoreline was North Kryse 12-9 Xenon.The match was played at North Kryse FC's home ground sembawang field.The pitch was soggy after a huge downpour,making the match less free-flowing than any match we had before.Both set of player's resilience shone through however,as the goals weighed in one after another.The match was poised nicely at half time when the score was tied at 4-4.In the second half however,Xenon played a high line in search of a lead,but we were cruelly exposed at the back,where their strikers often ran into space without being marked.We ended up playing the price,as the opposition managed to get cheap goals off some error-proned defending.Xenon did,however,manage to stay in the game by scoring more goals,a result of our offensive approach.Fadhli,Syazwi,and our vice captain's friend all made the scoring charts for Xenon,while a goal went in off a deflection,the scorer remaining unconfirmed.
In the end,however,exhaustion and frustation mounted,and North Kryse managed to get the final win.
Come on Xenon,we must manage to get over this defeat,and start a new winning streak.That is Xenon's style.

P.S. Ratesh also got a good game,with a whopping 2 saves.

It is understood that many new faces will appear in the match and the starting 11 is somewhat rotated. 3pm is the time and all Xenons are required to wear the jersey or PE shirts.
'I'm glad I'm finally being able to participate in a match. I can't wait!'said Ratesh Raj.
'This match is a good start to assess the team before facing future challenges,' explained captain Hasyim.

Goalkeeper - Ratesh
Right Back - Xing Yang
Centre Back - Nabil
Centre Back - Luqman

Centre Defensive Midfielder - Ilyas
Left Wing - Hasyim
Centre Forward - Fayyaz
Second Striker - Fadhli
Subs:

Playing with a weakened defence without the experience of Jin Xuan and Keng Hao, Xenon opted to elect Nabil as defender and Zul received a last-minute call-up as the direct replacement for Jin Xuan. Haiqal was chosen over the more seasoned Sijie and Ilyas will be a great asset in terms of defence. Fayyaz will make his debut and fill in the shoes left by ex-Xenon Anthony. That's all for XenoNews.
