¡@¡@¡@¡@Yesterday we gave Old Pang a happy farewell before his trip again to Australia. A 6-wins-in-a-row was surely more than a pleasure only for Oldie.
¡@¡@¡@¡@We won nine games totally. We finished 6 wins in a row, with both Ken & Dai Dan came out as hattrick heros, Lewis & Big Brother were also on the scorer list.
¡@¡@¡@¡@Lewis was the first to score. After Ken hit a welcoming ball forwrd, Lewis nipped in, reaching the ball just a fraction of a second before the keeper who was racing out of goal, and sliced the ball home. This game was then finished off by Ken before all the sudden-death matches began. After a scramble, Ken reacted the quickest and dribbled past the hapless keeper before putting the ball into the net.
¡@¡@¡@¡@Big Brother did not recover his full fitness, but still managed to got one goal in his bag in the next game. Ken chested down a high ball for him to volley into the net from the edge of the area.
¡@¡@¡@¡@Our long victory then began. Dai Dan was the one who started the fire. Ken crossed with his weaker left foot to the unmarked Dai Dan to score. In the next game, Dai Dan played a delightful one-two with Kojo at the edge of the box, and sent an unstoppable drive which the keeper could only parry it against the post and into the net. Ken scored his second afterwards. At the byline, he dribbled inside past one defender and scored in an extreme acute angle. After the ball was half-cleared wide, Ken got it and lobbed it in at the far corner to complete his hattrick. Dai Dan became the second hattrick hero after Ken, the other one got the hattrick, chipped the ball through to him. His first attempt was blocked, but still managed to score the rebound with his knee.
¡@¡@¡@¡@During the post-match interview, Ken made a humble comment on his scoring display, "it's just luck. I've assisted several times, it's happier than scoring". Before the 94boys games, Ken also scored while he's on loan.
¡@¡@¡@¡@After the match, there was a long discussion about how that missing goal went in. Seemingly nobody could remember it, but we are determined to get to the bottom of it.
