Pamela Henderson Secondary Pitch - Another blistering performance from new mid-season signing Ansel ensured that the Outsiders are within reaching distance of the top of the table.
With just 5 games left to play, Mavericks FC are right on track in their bid to win the title and promotion back to the first division after a calamitous past couple of seasons.
A milestone of a match, as Ansel scored 4 opportunistic goals; his silky pace and power upfront matched by his superb technique as the new Mavericks signing has amassed 6 goals in just 2 games! Brilliant stuff.
A good freekick from player-manager Jake Tay was met with a thumping header into the corner of the net as Ansel broke the deadlock. 1-0. And not before long, a goal-kick from Alex split the defence apart and Ansel was on hand to drive it home for 2-0. Awesome assist!
It was 2-0 at halftime, and Seng Yew did something naughty in the toilet and got a cramp in his leg. Nottie YewYew.
2nd half came about, and the Outsiders were having the better chances, with the hardworking runs of Wei Lian, Vic, Wei Jie and Kee Siang. Chao Xing and Clement were having blinders at fullback, with the opposition wingers barely getting a whiff of a chance.
And not surprisingly, soon it was 3-0 up to the Outsiders, as Guo Xiang did an "Alex" and sent out a hopeful long ball into the path of Ansel, who got pass the flailing keeper to tap it into the open net.
The ever classy Bob "Bleng" Boon Leng, was exceptional in the centre of midfield as he constantly kept 大 胖 (Dà Pang) and 小 胖 (Xiǎo Pang), the two opposition playmakers in check throughout the match.
And then, he retained possession superbly, before sending a deep cross into the box which Ansel took it down with his chest with a deft touch, before turning past his marker and sent it pass the keeper to make it 4-0!
By this time, the fans of the Outsiders in the stands have already taken the striker to their hearts, and were heard singing in the stands "The Ansel Song".

The 4-goal salvo from the Man-of-Match was however, to be outshone by a glorious momentous occasion, that has been anticipated world-wide for so long.
World football witnessed today an event of epic proportions, a moment that has set hearts aflutter everywhere, and anticipation has risen to an unrelenting magnitude that would shatter the very foundations of what football has become in this amplified, chaotic world. And this, this barren spell that has lasted a tumultuous 12 months.
A barren run of miscued shots, lost chances, unforgiving missed opportunities, and a condescending indifference to what football has turned into for this Mavericks FC legend. A dauntless, doughty and almost daring attempt to salvage what he thought was lost forever.
Lost in the etched marks of history. A valiant, valorous moment was all it took to change the chronicles of time. To alter what destiny has set in stone in the annals of the hourglass.
In what was a melodious, almost poetic justice to the disparaging expectations that has beriddled this once irreplaceable Mavericks veteran, he tunefully latched on to a sweet through-ball from his compatriot on the field of battle, Faizy, and with one deft touch, he got pass his marker and was through on goal.
In his lucid state of consciousness, in his moment of ingenuity, he thought to himself as he bore down on goal with only the keeper to beat. "63. Will it forever be that number? Will it forever stay that way?"
No.
One-on-one. Keeper stood his ground. But the man in question; Amir, he slotted it home past the keeper into the bottom corner of the net. And GOAL!!!!!!
Final Score: 5-1.
Pardon this. Couldn't resist typing this in storybook format. Hwahwahwaha.
In case of curiosity, the next match is Amir's 100th game for Mavericks FC. 64 Goals in 99 Matches now. And yes, these statistics are recorded by the Mavericks Board.
Oh and Clement say we don't need Chuan Ji anymore. Coz Clement say he can juggle better than Chuan Ji. Oh and just now got one hairy caterpillar sia at our bag area at the field just now. Hope none of you brought Mr. Caterpie home! If not, later it will evolve into a Butterfree and fly around your room and you'll be shouting, "FEi Ah! FEi Ah!"
