Assalamualaikum guys,

Sorry for the late Match Report on our recent match. After all, there's more to playing football, like flying, raising my 3 kids, playing golf and watching Man Utd march on to the Champions League Final.

Anyhoo, it was a 2nd straight defeat for Team FlyBoys as we failed to capitalize on our chances and there were plenty from our side. Kenny and Azrol managed to hit the post and crossbar respectively so that's half a point for each strike hence i think we actually lost 2-1.

The Players:
Goalkeeper:
- Capt Suhaini (B)

Defenders:
- SFO Malek (B)
- SFO Nasrul (A)
- SFO Azrol (B)
- SFO Jimmy (A)
- FO Zul-Afiq (A)
- Julian (PC)

Midfielders:
- Capt Hj Effendy (B)
- Capt Amir (A)
- Capt Sofian (B)
- SFO Dzulfadli (B)
- FO Riduan (B)
- FO Aziri (A)
- FO Hock (A/B)
- FO Azman (A/B)
- FO Khalil

Forwards:
- SFO Kenny (A)
- FO Syazwi (A)
- Capt Simon Newn (B)
- SFO Rosli (A)
- Ismail (MCC)

Eventhough we lost this match in terms of goals, we didn't lose in terms of effort. If this was a check flight, we'd get a B average.
Despite conceding the 2 goals, Suhaini played extremely well with the brand new Gloves sponsored by SFO Malek & Capt Khalidkhan. He showed authority, awareness and good communications and proved why he is the man to seek when asking for leave in the Boeing Fleet office.
Our defence played well with Nasrul and Malek marshalling the line well and putting the offside trap to good use. Also improvements were seen across the park with Syazwi keen to get on the scoresheet, Azman passing ala Beckham and Hock actually lasting more than 20 minutes.

The midfield as usual was working hard although the Kroniz players, despite their age, used their experience to pass their way across the pitch. All that was lacking for us were goals as Kenny hit the right post a few minutes before the full-time whistle.
What summed up our day was when Dzulfadli from the centre of the park played a pass to the left side releasing our top scorer, Ismail and as he ran down the left wing, he crossed a magnificent ball to the penalty box where our right back, Azrol who must've ran the full length of the pitch, rose up in between two defenders and headed the ball towards the goal.
Unfortunately the crossbar prevented him from scoring what would've been a goal worthy of screening on RTB's Arena Sukan.

Of course, we need to improve our performance with better defending, more possession and take our scoring chances. But all in all, it was a good day out with friends and family.

Thanks again to all who participated and the supporters who watched us. Also special thanks to Aainaa and Zul-Afiq(nice boots!), our very own Posh & Becks who sponsored the ice cool drinks.
The next match will be against HSBC on the 9th May so please come early at 4pm and have your credit card and loan applications filled out with the necessary paperwork.

Till then Majulah Sukan!!! Apakan.
