9aside Mitra Tournie - 16 Aug 2009

Last minute tournie entry by Tridon after the street soccer tournie was cancelled. Weather was extremely hot on tournie day. Tournie started off with kick-off match Tridon vs Todak FC. Todak FC won the match 1-0 when Tridon defence made a mistake and gave Todak FC to score their one and only score with us. Good goalkeeping skills by Bob when he saved one of the opponent's shoot with only one hand and the ball just stuck to his palm. DoDoL managed to join us yesterday. Good to see DoDoL around as he is always the heartbeat of Tridon. Hearing him shouting on the field and guiding the boys along with Mon's. First game Tridon only played with 7 players (without any striker on the field) as there are a little hiccups in the morning. Good game plan by Simon. Thanks Simon. Second and Third match, Tridon went for battle with all the 9 warriors. We also gave Hafiz keeper his debut as a striker on the 3rd match. Second match Tridon vs Hougang Villagers. Its a draw match 1-1. Last minute score by AmiLemon with a header and defeated the opponent's keeper for a goal for Tridon. Yes I agree with Abg BG that the 3rd match was the best match for Tridon. Good Defencing. We are attacking most of the time. Good communications on the field. Last match Tridon won 1-0 with Paan taking the free kick and score!!! A direct goal from Pa'an straight from the free kick. WOW! NICE ONE PA'AN!! Great job there Pa'an. We missed by 1 point to go through to QuarterFinal.

Yesterday match made me realise one thing. All my players need to be versatile and not to just stick to one position. I have plans after the break with regards to this issue. After the break, there will be 2 tournaments. Street soccer and 5 aside. Back to back. 18 Oct - street soccer tournie and 25 Oct - 5aside tournie. I can see that some of my players have improved tremendously and some still need fine tuning. I seriously cant wait for all my key players to be back and go for battles with Tridon United.

Anyway last but not least, have a good break and I see yall again first Saturday in October for training. And Selamat Berpuasa to all Tridonians. Insyaallah I will arrange berbuka puasa ramai2 end of the month.

Thank you.
