TH 2 - 0 RH
Raffles played an exciting game with a 4-5-1 formation, hoping to make use of our avatar of the Hulk - Jeff....however, we weren't able to hold on to a strong start and let in two cheap goals just minutes apart...
However, we have equaled the scoreline of TH against EH and now move into the next group stage match level with EH on GD and points....
How is it going to pan out this year?
Stay tuned....

IHG HAS STARTED!!
Ok, apart from Lloyd, I just realised I'm the most laojiao in the team (only 2 of us have played for 4 years) ..wahahhaa!! =)
Anyway, it being my final year, I sincerely hope to make it past the semis this year....but it's going to be tough since we are up against last year's winners - Temasek - and our arch-nemesis...Eusoff...
Seriously, why do we get them every year?
2008 --> EH 8-0 RH
2009 --> EH6 -0 RH
2010 --> EH 3-1 RH
2011??
We are getting better...haha...

Raffles Hall 1 - 3 TH
Score was actually 1-1...but in true raffles fashion (i admire the way we hold true to our values), we sorta allowed the opposition to come back to take the match.
Ah...raffles...how many times are we going to let this happen?
if anyone cares, my wisdom tooth is healing just fine.
I know you all don't care.
Neither do I care whether you care or not....
btw. a banana is a true berry. a strawberry is not.

Raffles Hall 4 - 2 KR
Safar scored a chip...blah blah....
forgot most of it....probably due to my inactiveness in training and matches.
i had to pluck a wisdom tooth on that day.

RH 5 - 3 Eusoff Hall
Playing against Eusoff's reserve team, RH managed to notch their first hall friendly win this season! Goals by foreign import Jeff, non hall members Safar and Muru and another by team captain Jerome made sure we ended the match on a high.
However, the blog name actually refers to our IHG wins...in which case, as it has been for the past 5 years...still stands. We have never won a single IHG match for that period. In fact, Ripley's Believe It Or Not Asia has offered to give us a slot on the show.
Their tagline?
"RH hasn't won a single IHG game in 5 years --- Unbelievable? Believe it."
On a much sadder note....I think I'm the only one reading this since I sincerely doubt anyone else actually comes here anymore, but I always believed in keeping a record of our matches...you know...just in case.
So if you still are reading this (you poor thing...obviously nothing better to do with your life), please give me a little love and a small shoutout will ya? Much appreciated.

SHEARES 1 - 1 RH
Goal by Shengjie. I wasn't there....so that's all I have.
If I were though, it probably wouldn't read 1-all.

Tribute to Semi-Finalists 2009/2010...
For many years, we have suffered...
Deemed as minnows...
Mocked...
Ridiculed.
Well, as of last year, Team RH soccer has risen like a Phoenix from the ashes...
This --- this is a tribute to the semi-finalist of the 2009/2010 soccer IHG.
This is a sign of things to come.
This is a warning to the other challengers that Raffles is on the comeback and there is a grave out there with your name on it.
Will the feat be emulated again this year? It remains to be seen.
Yet, the gauntlet has already been thrown down. Team of 10/11...do YOU have what it takes to be better than the team of last year?
Your seniors watch in anticipation...

The start of a brand new season!
Hello fellow Rafflesians!
It is a brand new start to the IHG season and the best place to catch all the updates, gossip and transfer news is here --- at Raffles Hall's most popular yet surprisingly unknown blog!
For this year, we have a promising batch of new players coming in...as well as the out processing of several players who have served the hall for a long time but not contributed in any significant way....players like Jack, David, Azfar, Safar and Rajiv..
Oh well, their presence isn't really missed.
As it is, the hall soccer team has in its new leadership Mr Jerome Seow....better known as Ms Jerome Seow to some.
And of course, the hall fought hard to retain the services of a certain year 4, one whom they deemed good enough to propel this team into the new era of a WINNING raffles hall team.... After much controversy, they managed to extend my contract for a year...
Raffles Hall....are you RHeady?

Hardcourt Lights.
......The hardcourt lights now switches off at 11am instead of 12midnight.
This is a travesty.
No wonder Raffles Hall's reputation as a hall is where it is. I'm quite sure this doesn't occur in any other halls. Guys, we can't take this lying down...

Dear Residents,
Due to players not switching off the lights at the basketball court after play and wasting electricity, the tower lights will switch off automatically at 11pm instead of 12am.
If electricity continues to be wasted in this manner, lights will be switched off permanently.

Beware the psychotic Safar.
What!? A Safar Doppelganger has been recently spotted at the comm hall. And this is not the first time it has happened. Apparently, he appears at 11pm every night at Uncle Vincent's. However, this doppelganger ISNT SAFAR. He is PSYCHOTIC! If you see him, stay clear!!
On a lighter note, Safar has another 'zhng' lookalike in floorball. Pictures of that up soon. Stay tuned.

RH 3 - 1 Louis' Team
Goals by Khengyong, Jerome and Gabriel ensured a win for RH on this hot sunny Sunday morning.
Although we were lacking some first team players, we managed to field a strong side to maintain our current streak of not losing. However, we can still improve and I hope you guys who played today can take away the lesson of 'playing dirty'.
The other team has been well schooled in the art of it. We have much to learn...
Even I, king of dirty tackles of RH, suffered a yellow card without injuring the opposition whereas they didn't get a single card for leaving me with a bloodied neck and Weiquan with a sprained ankle.
Yet, kudos to our team for managing to break away from the initial 1-1 scoreline to push for the 2nd and 3rd goal. We will need this mentality for the IHG. Keep up the good work guys and remember: The 1st team places are still there for the taking. Make it yours.

RH 4-2 KE7
You must be thinking..."huh? i thot 3-2?" ... but im taking into account that we had one ball tt was cleared whilst it was INSIDE the KE7 net. So..yah.
A powerful header by Jerome, which was fed an insanely beautiful assist by Thaddeus enabled RH to climb back to 2-1 after being clobbered by the beast of KE7 who scored the first 2 goals.
Boosted by the goal, RH scored another one later through KeeYong who has been proving himself to be RH's Valencia and our terror down the left flank.
A penalty by Safar, in a bid to make up for his penalty miss in the IFG for Science, brought the score up to 3-2!!
Confident passing throughout the pitch as well as a tight defence after the first 2 goals allowed us to clock another win.
Guys, don't let this get to your heads, the ball is round. However, at the same time, use this win to propel your confidence in our hall and in the belief that we can achieve great things this year if we stick together as a team.

BEWARE CLAUDINE.
In the recently concluded Female Soccer IHG, though we didn't perform as well as we would have liked, but one of our members have earned RH the dubious honour of being the most vicious hall in NUS.
Cue Claudine --- The ONLY person to get carded for the entire carnival on Sunday for a bone-crunching, jaw-dropping, earth shattering tackle on some poor unfortunate victim.
"I can't feel my legs...even now..." - Anonymous Victim
Guys...This is one woman not to be trifled with.

Annual General Meeting
Calling ALL members of the Raffles Hall Soccer Team. Let's meet tomorrow, Thursday, 10pm at the upper lounge. It will last approximately 45 minutes. We will be discussing about the friendlies coming up, training and any other things you guys have been too shy to talk about (coming out of the closet, can't stand Thaddeus, etc.)
DONT BE LATE. For every 10 minutes late, you have to treat the team to FIVE Chrysanthemum Teas.

RH 1-2 SH (FEMALE)
So you think this is solely a male soccer blog eh!? You're wrong!!
Due to lack of writing material due to a lack of male trainings....and matches, I've decided to include the female friendlies as well... Shameless advertising to get the blog numbers up on my part I concede.
RH started the match well with a fantastic lineup that included the famous referee - Me - against the Oranjes.
We were able to convert a lone chance through a fantastic shot by Star player Tiffany who was easily the best player of the match. Sheares...not wanting to give up....equalised just before the half.
I must add that SH's coach was the famous four lunged korean Minwoo of IHG fame who famously outpaced Ex-RH Captain Jack, thus putting him to shame... More info can be found on THEIR blog, you just have to google it.
Anyway, a corner by the Oranjes was converted by RH into the back of our net. 2-1!
As it is, I biasedly gave RH a freekick near their goal (shhh) but Tiffany was unable to convert it.
Oh well.... If you want to see the RH female soccer babes in the flesh, come down this Sunday to support them!! =)
Msg me for more details.
