Mavericks Maintains Great Form!
Teenage Drug-Popping Kidz FC 1 - 2 Mavericks FC

Stadio el Orchide Parkus - The Outsiders counted on their luck for being blessed with the most expensive goalkeeper in local football today and an abundance of awesome left-backs within their ranks as a sterling team effort saw off a determined TDPK FC on a totally hot Saturday afternoon.
The win extended their recent great run of form which sets up nicely for their final two league games as they look to win their first league title and etch themselves in the history of the club since its inception in 1939.
With the Outsiders missing several first-teamers, it wasn't going to be a bad day as first thought as they came out on top with yet another superb performance by Mavericks custodian Alex as he didn't do anything for the whole match except for THAT magnificent penalty save in the dying moments of the match to preserve the lead. Haha.
With several new faces in the side, the team did well enough to see off the challenges of their more technical opponents, as they accumulated a world record of 38 fouls and conceded 38 free-kicks in a match, as they hassled their opponents to oblivion.
Match-day loan signings Maxe, Faizal, and Amir (no, not the same Amir. But Faizy's friend) were more than capable replacements as the Outsiders got off to a fine start, with new left-back Amir (yes, the usual Amir. And yes, playing left-back le!) overlapped and chipped in a great through-ball for striker Maxe to lift it over the top of the keeper to make it 1-0.
However, amidst heavy sustained pressure minutes before half-time, their opponents whacked a rocket into the Mavericks top corner to make things even again. 1-1. If Alex wasn't able to save that, we're pretty sure Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon won't be able to save it either. Casillas too. A quality equaliser nonetheless.
Second-half was a close-knitted affair, as the Outsiders grew in confidence as the trio of Faizal, Faizy and Oreo won the battle in midfield.
And soon enough, a chance was carved, this time, Seng Yew (usually a left-back, and a cultured one too) curled in a ball over the top for Amir (the usual Amir) to latch onto it. He got off the challenges of 3 players, and barely got a shot in. It trickled in with the keeper getting a touch to it. A tyco goal, but still a goal dammit. 2-1.
Despite captain Chao Xing conceding a penalty late in the game, it proved futile for TDPK FC as Alex dived the right way, and palmed the ball away and saved the penalty! All this while with his eyes closed! Awesome!
With the likes of Vic, Jake and Jerome looking threatening each time on the counterattack, the new look mavericks backline consisting of Chao Xing, Jiun Wei, Chuan Ji and Amir held on for the win.
Clement will be sad to see that he has dropped down the pecking order at left-back. Heehee. All the more reason because naughty boys like Chris and Clement always go clubbing before matchday. Hmmpf!
Final Score 2-1. Great win lads! Let's continue this great run, and win our final league games!
