Friendly Match Summary

NTU 2 SIM 1

Scorers: Peng, Ahmad Khan
Assists: Muthalib

Good goals by both Peng and debutant Ahmad Khan gave NTU a hard fought victory over SIM. Pengster intercepted a sloppy backpass by a SIM defender late in the first half to put the first goal pass the on rushing goalkeeper. There were glimpses of Arsenal like passing play for some parts of the first half which drew cheers from the ever loyal fan club led by Khai.

However, SIM managed to sneek an equaliser early in the second half through a point blank header. No chance for our debutant GK Khairul. Despite all the frenzy, NTU had the last laugh when a long ball from NTU backline allowed NTU's 28 year old newbie-veteran to break the offside trap and drive in a tantalizing ball for debutant Ahmad Khan to smash in the winner.

Reflection on today's training

Today's training session wasnt a good one, i think you guys all felt it that way too. Attitude was lackluster, passes were sloppy and 1st touches were all going everywhere. We had a good game last friday, but the next session (ie today's session) was a poor one. What i shall try to emphasize is there is a lack of consistency in us. One moment a good game then next moment a poor session. We should make it a point to put in a consistent performance in every session we have, so that we can become a better team. Hope for a much better session this Wednesday. See you guys then.

Results of Friendly Match

FT score 0-0

Although it was a boring scoreline, it was a good outing for NTU as most of the players performed to their potential. As usual, NTU displayed an attacking style of play, with many runs down the flanks and keeping more possession. The only disappointing thing was nobody could get onto the scoresheet. Nevertheless, the hard work put in by the boys shows that everyone is determined to put in their best performance as our competition draws closer and everyone fighting for limited spaces in the team.

Results of Friendly Match

NTU vs Trialists
1st Third: 2-0 Scorers: Diyar, Peng Assists:
2nd Third: 1-0 Scorer: Kester Assist: Manfred
Final Third: 3-0 Scorers: Peng, Nadeem(PK), OG Assists: Khai

The trialists were given a friendly match in the midst of ongoing trial, in search of finding young talent to get promoted from the academy to join the senior squad. NTU set the tone right from the start, clearly showing who's men and who's boys. There were some good moments of quick short passing from the trialists in the 2nd third. Trialists, the selection is far from over and you have seen the intensity level of training for the seniors. So if you are hoping to make the squad, be prepared to put in lots of hard work. For the seniors, if you havent noticed yet, the intensity level of training has just gone up another level.
Please state if you had an assist to claim.
