I don't believe it I can find someone keeping the traces of RI Soccer.
Yes the 79 A team was an unbelievable venture. Auyeong and the 78 team brought fame and glory when they beat the hot favorite Geylang Serai VITB with a thumping score line, upsetting the favorites that year. It was difficult when majority of the main players left school that year leaving behind a small core group.
78 A team Marc Tan literally went down to the canteen carpark to recruit and identify the potential members to join the 79 team and brought in our juniors from the 1980 A team to join the 'car park soccer group' and the remaining 78 A team. We had 'no chance' then but we created the chances to bring up from scratch to build a spirited team towards the semis that year in 79. We surprised the school when we got out of the round robin and qualified for the semis. Despite total dominance in that semis, Swiss Cottage's Ruminathan crossed a ball that floated and went into the goal that shocked the team. If only .........., we would have been an unexpected finalist that year.
Deja vu guys!,,
Azni - Team member 1979 . 3rd placing after beating Pasir Panjang VITB .
it was not ruminathan but me Irvine schelkis that scored both the goals , sadly I got sent off in the early minutes of the second half, really good game it was
It was Ruminathan, the brother of the national player Khanesan who scored the goal. Game ended at 1-0.
It was a free kick. He miskicked it and the ball lamely rolled into goal at the left hand of the goal post. I was there.
Billy Ng
Thank you Billy for the clarification. Very nice to hear from you after such a long time. I still remember you as the crew cut striker, ferocious at time : Mr Woo
