9th Tournament...Lord of the Court, July Edition, 29th July 2006

Tourney : Lord of The Court, July Edition
Venue : NPNG
Date : 29th July 2006

List of Players : Badar, Berek, Bob, Embi, Mantek, Pakcik and Yot.

High hopes, but another disappointing outing…Ingat tak payah bayar entry fee, boleh bwk balik medal berat sket..adusssssss…

8 teams registered, so 2 groups of 4 were drawn. We were in the same grp as Subang Rangers (basically 2^nd string of the banned MIC Subang), Humberg and Dentum FC.

First up, lwn Dentum FC, and we played badly, myself included, and were whipped 1-5. Mantek scored off a cross-shot from first-timer Berek to make it 1-1, but we were comprehensively beaten. For the record, this was our third meeting. In the Liga Premier NPNG, we managed to beat them once and kene belasah in the other.

Our second game, lwn Humberg, team yg tak dikenali. I did see a familiar face, I think he played in an earlier LOTC edition, but with a different team. Humberg raced to a 3-0 lead before we woke up. We played really well in the second half and put them under pressure. We scored 2, through Mantek and Pakcik, and tried hard to get the equalizer, tp masa x cukup laa.. Our second defeat means Tok Jinjang dah out! Personally, I played better in this game, made some good saves. By the way, Humberg went on to become champions, beating NPNG Jrs 4-2 in the final…Hmmmm…

Our last group game was meaningless, to our opponents as well, since Subang Rangers also lost both their earlier games, but we still wanted to win. Diorang score dulu, off a great shot that went in off the post. Then we scored 1, and another 1. But wat happened after dat reminded me of that Goalkeeping Nitemares vcd. Immediately from the kick-off after our second goal, dat guy went for a shot that went thru the wall, thru Bob’s kangkang first, then thru mine..alamak..gol kangkang lagi!!! sori guys…ingat tu jer my big mistake, but they scored another one when I lost the ball when I shud have caught it. Dah tangkap dah pun actually, camana tah boleh terlepas…argh!!! We pulled 1 back, but the final score was 3-4.. Our scorers were Pakcik (2) and Mantek.

Summary:
Pergh, kalah sumer game..Teruk betul…Sori to say, based on this tourney, Berek was NOT the missing link, the one who was supposed to complete the puzzle…heheh..rilek geng…first time main biasak aaa..nervous kot..other excuses yg masuk akal, lambat warmup, bola bujur/lonjong/tak bulat…

Tapi betul laa..kite boleh main much better, contohnya mcm 2^nd half lwn Humberg…Humberg tu last2 jadi champs, tapi kita boleh buat diorang pressure..apasal laa lwn Dentum boleh kene belasah? Bukan kita tak pernah kalahkan diorang….and lwn Rangers tu, minus my 2 big mistakes, score 3-4 boleh jadi 3-2..adoi…

Tinggal 1 lagi LOTC before posa kan…nak try lagi??

Mantek, Pakcik : 3 goals
Embi : No clean sheet...shit
