Hello Guys!! It has been brought to my attention that a fellow hardcourt enthusiast and one-time RH soccer player is graduating this Sem. His name is Thiang Guo Chuan and he is my beloved roomie. Therefore, if you guys are game, I would like to propose a field session on next Saturday's morning.
To honour those graduating or probable graduates this year, I wanna propose:
FINAL YEARS vs NEOPHYTES.
Yes yes, the finals years are challenging the ROTW (rest of the world) to a GAME. C'mon, we need to play for fun wad...some bonding session.
Off the top of my head, the final years include:
Thiang
Tito
TK
Thad
Safar
Rajiv
Jack
Mingjie
Gabriel
Shaun
Azfar
We already have 11....are the rest game?? =)

RH 2-2 TH
There was a sense of anticipation. A moment of silence. The whistle blew. A thrilling match ensued.
In what was supposed to be a morale boosting game for TH turned out to be a torrid affair for the normally ranked top 3 hall in NUS for soccer.
TH scored early with some slick passing and some horrid defending from the RH team. In truth, the 1st 3rd was rather terrible for RH with the only moment of excitement coming from a beautiful shot by Thaddeus out of the box only for the keeper to tip it over.
The 2nd half saw us equalising with a curling corner from one of the lion kings 'safar' in what I think was a fluke..but who cares when it's a goal...especially when it was the first one against a NUS Hall this year! However, not to be outdone, TH scored back to make the score 2-1 in what truly was an exciting match.
To boost the team, the subs of Jack n Lloyd were made. Lloyd being the rock on the right hand side whereas Jack's role was to make TH complacent. The sight of Jack warming up on the touchline already brought smiles to the THians faces. However, Jack had a moment of brilliance when he made a long run up and proceeded to connect with the ball for a volley which glanced off the face of the goal. When will he score for RH?
It must be mentioned at this point that Thaddeus played the first two halves and was only subbed out to let others have a chance. And also, that Jack told me to write about him so next time, if u wanna be included, tell me. Anyway, an opportunistic shot by Weiquan caught the TH keeper off-guard and ensured a thunderous roar from the RH supporters. Could we FINALLY CHANGE OUR BLOG NAME? With the score levelled at 2-2, it was anybody's guess.
Yet, the game ended as such. However, it was a lesson learnt by the opponents that RH is a force to be reckoned with this year. With new transfers and buys, we have become a Man-City of sorts and still, our team is set to become even stronger with new transfer rumours this coming window.
We'll register our first win soon.

Sheares Hall.....Are YOU RHeady?
The tension for an epic battle is building up with the final war cry due this Sunday.... Yes! It is the annual affair of RH vs SH and oh what an affair it has been!!
I still remember the day in which we were trounced 2-0 on a muddy, wet field in ulu woodlands 2 years ago....and how they steely held on to a draw in last year's IHG. The truth is undeniable --- We are getting closer to nicking our first win against Sheares...
In truth, I've always considered Sheares to be RH's "brother hall". Much of this truth being rooted in the fact that like us....they have a shambolic soccer team as well as a over-zealous handball squad. Truth be told, they are somewhat like Holland.....Cool orange jerseys and not much else.
So I ask of you --- those who are obviously free enough to read this post --- ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO BATTLE?
I know I ain't. I'm busy this Sunday. =)
