Hey guys, thought I'd just post what they emailed me with regards to the format of the upcoming 'new' SAFRA league.

Format

· Teams will play a round-robin format followed by knockout games.

· Duration of league is from Feb '09 to Jul '09.

· The top 3 teams will receive Cash Prizes and trophies.

· All games will be played in 2 halves of 45 minutes.

· Tampines SAFRA reserves the right to change the Tournament Format to suit the number of teams entered and the League duration, without prior notice.

I hope that if they actually meet the required number of teams, they revert back to a normal league system. I have issues with the round robin idea, especially if they put us into different groups. We could have all the strong teams in one group and the weaker teams in the other as there is no accurate way for them to figure out the teams' seeding. Unless they do it the NFL or NBA way, which is round robin and the top 4 or 8 teams do a play-off. That would be a better way to determine the best teams of the league I think, when compared to grouping the teams randomly. Just my two cents. And a dollar.

New Signing: No. 23 Khairul Amri

The past two games saw many new faces plying their trade for FMFC but none caught the manager's eye as much as our new signing, No. 23, Khairul Amri. Amri brings with him the experience and level-headness from time playing with his previous teams, Victoria Secondary School and Tampines JC.

Being able to play anywhere down the right, he gives a new dimension to the team with his speed and tireless running. In the past two matches, Amri gave assuring performances, slotting effortlessly at right back and instantly looking at home with his fellow back line.

The Kit manager has expressed concern though that there have been problems with our sponsors for Amri's new jersey. He would like to apologise and assure fans that jerseys printed with Amri's name will soon be available in our team store.

To our new signing, in the words of fify-cent, welcome to the club.



It was a David and Goliath match up from the start and it ended a fairytale for "David". FMFC faced a stern test from NFL Div 2 side Tiong Bahru FC which included ex-S-League player Gusta Guzarishah who pulled the strings for them from midfield. It was an accomplished performance from the center midfielder, but it was not enough to stop them from losing to the SAFRA League champions two goals to one. FMFC were pegged back for most of the game as Tiong Bahru FC had the lion's share of the possession. The first half saw in-form forward Khidhir claim a freak goal, a result of a mix-up at the back between the center-half and the goalkeeper. The rest of the half saw FMFC repel wave after wave of Tiong Bahru attack, the defence expertly marshalled by Elfi. The only blight was a cut in the eye and nose for Hisham after Tiong Bahru's striker stuck a boot out in a one-on-one. There was a fear of a concussion for him, and Shrek was brought in to replace Hisham.
The start of the second half saw FMFC taking control of the game, with Alam and Bul playing a deeper game from midfield and actually passing the ball around, something which was sorely lacking in the first half. Shrek made a couple of fine saves in the second half when the FMFC defence was caught sleeping on a few occasions, but otherwise it was a disciplined performance on the whole. FMFC managed to score a second goal when Zul was fouled on the edge of the box and Alam curled in the resulting free kick into the top corner, the keeper rooted to the spot. Fatigue began to seep in for FMFC, and it showed when Tiong Bahru's striker actually managed to outrun Elfi and Shrek hesitated in rushing out of his line. The striker easily beat him and rolled the ball into an empty net. In the end FMFC managed to hold on till the final whistle, claiming a valuable victory which showed how far the team has come from its humble beginnings. It was a valuable experience for them, and it showed they had the means to win, either the beautiful or the hard way.
Next week will see FMFC taking on Marli's BF team, and maybe we shall see the return of the beautiful football that has enthralled, excited and made FMFC a favourite for many.
