RI Soccer (post 40 years)

After 40 long years, the RI soccer team of 1978 met once again on May 9th evening at Kalidass J's place in Yio Chu Kang to commemorate the 40th year of the 'A' Division triumph on May 10th 1978, National Stadium.
It was so heartening to see 16 out of 20 of the 'boys' turned up for this gathering. Some travelled back from overseas to be present. Some of the 'boys' are grandfathers by now. Many of them are still playing recreational soccer together. For the other three who were not able to be present, we wished you were there!!

Mr Alfred Chen, the soccer master who was with the boys since lower secondary was also present!
What an evening!!
