Match 16 : Live-Like-Fools vs JC's Barf-alone-ah (2-4)
This was a must win game for JC. After all the tough talking and trash walking the previous week, LLf started in their usual stride….conceding the early goal again, this time via corner deftly put in by Jeshua. JC added another 2 more goals as LLf seemed to have left for their Raya holidays early. At 3-0 down, at last LLf woken up and snatched back 2 goals to galvanize hope of at least salvaging something for this but in the end, JC struck again to extinguish the last flicker of fight back from LLf. In the end, sensing the inevitable, LLf just plodded along, conserving energy for their final but pride redeeming match against RM.

MOTM - Daniel


Match 17 : Florence&Tina vs Real Madreed vs (7-2)
RM was forced to field only 4 players as its members went MIA. FLT however, played with 5 players, albeit chances were given the substitutes to start the game. Outnumbered and outplayed, RM quickly found themselves trailing 0-4 thru goals by all the 4 FLT’s outfield players, Victor, Raymond, Alwin and Melvyn. Bruised and battered, RM gamely fought on and pulled a goal back thru Mervyn. FLT were not thru yet and hit RM with another 2 goals before one of RM’s MIA players resurfaced. Now that the disparity in number is overcome, RM managed to grab another goal. FLT had the last say when Samshen, playing outfield for the first time this season, headed the ball in past the stunned RM’s keeper for the last goal.

MOTM – Alwin


Match 18 : Men’s-ChestHair vs JC's Barf-alone-ah (2-2)
This was an extremely important match for both teams. Whoever wins this will win the league but a draw will transfer the impetus to the last match between MCH and the Freakazoids. The hurricane came and battered MCH but you can always count on Steady Andy to save the day. Besides the battle of the managers, it is also a battle between father and son, Steady Andy and Dynamite Dan. JC huffed and puffed but alas, whatever they threw against MCH was repelled back by the stubborn MCH led by Hairy Eddy. MCH got the first salvo thru Andy but JC hit back incisively thru Jeshua’s freekick and Daniel. JC seemed to be heading for victory as Aaron played like a man possessed, blocking every shot thrown at him. As the clock ticked down, MCH became more exasperated and Hairy Eddy wase forced to try shooting from far to force the equalizing goal. All seemed lost for MCH until Andy rose to the occasion again to level the score in the dying minutes, much to JC’s despair.

MOTM – Andy


Match 19 : Live-Like-Fools vs Real Madreed (11-4)
Stand-up comedy aptly summed this game up. Both teams got nothing to play for but pride and fun, not necessarily in that order. LLf started aggressively but the team seemed to have put on the wrong shoes during the break as their finishing was atrocious. RM went ahead when an innocuous looking shot from Gilbert, playing as keeper, hit LLf’s keeper and went in for goal, much to everyone’s amusement. LLf’s manager was later quoted as saying that it was a calculated mistake, aimed to shock his player into playing properly. True or not, it worked because LLf then went on a rampage, notching 11 goals in between the 3 more goals by RM. The players seemed to go on a scoring frenzy, notching goal after goal, irrespective of whether it was their opponent’s goal or their own goal. In the end, both teams contrived to create league history for the highest scoring game, 15 goals in total. Luckily, it was not all one sided.

MOTM - Jeremy


Match 20 : Men’s-ChestHair vs Florence&Tina (2-1)
After their battling and bruising draw with JC, MCH needed to summon all their reserve energy for a victory here, because anything less than that will hand JC the title. FLT however, was not in a giving mood as they struck first through Raymond. This stunned MCH greatly and put them under even more pressure. Again, the hero of day came to their rescue when Andy scored from a Flyboy’s cross to equalize. MCH went further ahead when Andy capitalized on Melvyn’s hesitation to close him down to score from a corner. Not satisfied with the slim one-goal margin, MCH continued pushing for the killer goal but FLT stood him. Instead, it was FLT who was nearer to scoring with shots after shots hammering MCH’s goal but fortunately for MCH, Feiloong’s was playing the game of his life to eventually help MCH win the title for the first time ever.

Prize giving ceremony and season-end dinner will be held in 2 weeks’ time at a place and time to be announced later. Prices and menu will depend on whether we can locate our missing treasurer, who has gone into hiding from ah-longs due to unsettled debts from betting on the futsal matches.

There are no winners or losers in futsal, only survivors. You shall have approximately 2-3 months to rest and nurse you injuries, before we resume battle again soon.
