Flyboys 2 - RBA Finance 1

The month long fasting break and two weeks of RAYA is long gone now, the aftermath of those whom went to a lot of open houses hopefully won’t have any effects on the pitch. Our second match of the new season saw Flyboys play against the RBA Finance. The day was a Monday, a blistering hot Monday I must add, Flyboys in yellow, Finance in red. Flyboys were dominating the finance team even before the start of the match with our numbers, fourteen sweaty yellow players to a five in red.
Flyboys with a lot of time to kick the ball around, have some laughs, introducing our selves in fear the long break led to someone’s name being forgotten, see two monkeys chase the ball before Julian lead the warm ups with beautiful leg stretching positions.

Hj Effendy gives a nice short speech and gives the formation as follows:

In the gloves : Zulafiq
The Defence : Nathaniel (rb) Azmi & Azman (cb) Julian (lb)
The Midfield : Aiman (rw) Hj Effendy & Hendra (cm) Ismail (lw)
The Strikers : Kenny & Amir

The flyboys subs Allan, Zulamali, Zulkhair and Aslam saw them selves playing the first half of the game with only they were on loan ($50/min each) to the opposition to help make up their numbers. Woohoo means we get to get the match started, downside no subs for those who planed to play for 4-5mins =P

It’s a late kick off, but the boys in yellow apply the pressure at the blow of the whistle, and perhaps it was much easier in doing so due to the finance team despite having our subs were still short of three players. It was a pretty fast paced game five minutes into the games which saw great spinning god knows what moves their called by Amir to trick the defenders and unleash a beautiful simple pass to Kenny whom slotted the first goal of the game but that’s when the blistering hot weather and all the extra weight gained during the festive season came to haunt both teams. Eight minutes after the first goal by Kenny we got to see another one by the tall striking partner of Amir yet again. Fifteen minutes into the games and a striker broke pass the flyboys defenders, and unleashed a fast low ball pass Zulafiq and into the net.

After conceding, Zulafiq played extremely well and took care of all the shots on goal, Azmi & Azman made sure any long balls towards the middle was taken care of with the good support of their fellow defenders Nathaniel and Julian whom were fast on the ball if a player was to break free and played good passes up field. Hendra played a like Masherano in the centre of the field alongside Hj Effendy who played extremely well to provide Gerrard like passing. Aiman and Ismail played fast paced winger like action when they weren’t so breatheless, got some shots on goal unfortunately were denied by the Finance goalie. Kenny on the other hand was happily attacking the goal of the Finance goalie in search of a hat trick. Last but not least Amir was to dizzy to watch with his ballet movement twisting and turning around when ever he had the chance to do so. Allan, Zulamali, Zulkhair and Aslam played well for the Finance team during the first half and hopefully the Finance team were glad to have them.

After the halftime break Allan, Zulkhair and Aslam returned to the flyboys lineup from their first half loan, and flyboys saw everyone play except Ismail and Zulamali who where on the sidelines as subs. The second half didn’t last long though, time waits for no men and the game had to be ended in five-ten minutes of the start of the second half due to respect for the main religion of Brunei. Which is most likely a good thing cause the finance team were pressing hard on flyboys and came really close to scoring a couple of occasions during the second half. All in all was a good game we had fun, no intense tackles were committed, no players were injured.

Lastly sorry if got any of the info wrong or if this report was to boring to read, ill just blame my lovely 360 front flip and landing headfirst during the first game of our new season against the cabin crew.
