KENT RIDGE HALL SOCCER BONANZA







Munjens sent a team earlier today to compete in the Kent Ridge Soccer Bonanza held at 9am West Batam time at Kallang Cage.

Expectations were high, as fans and media alike were looking to see if MPFC could repeat their Pierre Ratnam Cup victory.

There was a surprise though, as team striker Edmund Ong was seen appearing from the team bus. Needless to say, fans have clearly missed star forward, having missed the previous 25973436 Munjen matches.

MPFC was drawn into Group D, arguably the Group of Depth.

First up was KR XI, a team Munjen knew they needed nothing less than a victory to kickstart their quest. That wasn't the case however, as butterflies in their stomaches saw them having very few chances as the game ended in a stalemate.

Next in Munjens way were group favourites, Team White (cause they were wearing white lar..), featuring familiar faces from MJC and VS soccer. They lived up to their name, comfortably winning 2-0, although Munjens did have a few good chances through Edmund and Addison.

As Munjens waited for their last match, news crept in that the results in the other games had favoured them, and they now need js a single goal victory over their final opponents, TEAM ITEWEST, to qualify.

The game started lively as Munjens dominated possession, and throwing everything they had at the ITEWEST. The goal eventually came through Fir, whose shot crept into the bottom left corner of the goal.

That lead did not last too long though, as the opponents grabbed a controversial goal. A snap shot from one of their players rebounded off the right post, onto the left post, and then back into play. Moments later, the referee controversially stopped play as he adjudged the effort to be a goal.

The match went into half-time at 1-1. Munjens continued to dominate and took shots after shots but failed to score. Edmund had the best chance perhaps, thundering his shot above the bar with the goalkeeper left scrawling on the ground as he went for power over placement.

1-1 the final score, handing an abrupt end to the Munjens.

Controversy

When asked after the match regarding the controversial goal rewarded, the ref pointed out that it was given after consulting the linesman.

It was understood that the linesman was all they way behind the goalpost, and not in line with the byline as he should have been -.=

Cheers!
