The No. 1 sport in the world

As much as I love my mumblings and Y chromosome friends, this post is dedicated to my "brudders". We've been playing regularly every week for the past 8 years or so every since we discovered our love for the game way back in secondary 2 (2001). The members have changed over the years, some have gone, most have stayed and we've welcomed new members to the fold. All this built on the foundation of friendship, entertainment and our love of the game.

The random assignment of being the goalkeeper.
(No one likes it so we have to resort to chance)
In action
We usually get the whole court to ourselves although there have been times when we have had to play with other people as common courtesy.
A good fake to get away from the defence
Lining up the shot
(Think I'm the one in goal...saved it obviously :D)
The passion runs through their veins...haha..
even in 40 deg weather!


8 years and counting
(5 years at our current location so far)

Full line-up for the day.
Most ex-commonwealthians may recognise a couple familiar faces.
Do note that there are still a couple of people missing although we're lucky to have such a big group today.
Starting out from beginners with no prior training, inclination or proper direction in learning how to play football, we've developed our skills and our understanding of each other to gel as a team and one which enjoys playing with each other. We've each had our fair share of embarrassing moments which we would rather forget although no one will let that happen. It's one of the first things I look forward to when the weekend arrives and never fails to make my weekend shine. I hope these guys carry on the flame even when I'm gone. CY FC forever!
