Courtesy of a connection of one of my teammates we were granted an invitational game by Royal Selangor Club on their 'sacred' turfs, namely the Royal Selangor Club football pitch which is one, if not the best, maintained football pitch of Malaysia.
Gosh, it felt like walking on sacred ground, the pitch was perfect, almost as smooth as a billiard table, and the weather conditions were near-perfect for a friendly game of the club's veteran squad vs our mix of youngsters and vets.
Did I mention that we were up against 'veterans'? Now, don't make any hasty conclusions.....those veterans are a well-oiled outfit, doing proper team warm-up, listening attentively to the guidelines of their coach as opposed to our amateuristic pre-match approach.
Well, the flow of the game went up and down, with both sides giving eachother no quarters. 3 periods of 30 minutes and have to be fair, Royal Vets had the slight upperhand over us. The final outcome was a draw 1-1 which was a fair result, and we couldn't believe our eyes that those 'oldies' continued to play a game amongst themselves after our fixture with them. Talk about fondness of the game.
Voor degenen (o.a. Kim Long Tang!!!) die twijfelden of dat ik het echt meende betreffende de match tussen mijn ploeg en de clubke Royal Selangor Club....ziehier het bewijs!!! Nah gij!! :p
