Sweet victory! Evolution FC 5- 0 Indo District United

Bravo,bravo,bravo! It was an absorbing,richly deserving and thoroughly savouring victory for Evolution FC today! Fans,players,reserves,absentees,new friends alike, all have played a part in how much we have achieved and come thus far. Today started off with a pretty cautious mindset and approach for the whole team, respecting the recognition of the hardworking indo team. But as the game wore on with the coming and taking of our opportunities that beckons,we were on the slaughter and did not let slip the chances with 3 goals in rolling succession, with an added bit of fortune for 1 or 2 of it. We started to gain confidence and momentum from there and thus seeing us through the win. Credit to everyone who played in a more organised fashion and control today especially in midfield as well as having more command in defence. As such,we managed a good feat of a clean sheet against a fairly expecting opposition team! Excellent and well done guys!

Three cheers for our keepers who improved lots and Bowen who saved a penalty giving us our 2nd consecutive clean sheet and the hardworking departing kenneth for his national service. You have been a great defender and player for us. We all recognised that and we will go as far as we can so that you might even get another chance to feature for us again in the august finals.

Overall,each and every individual played their part with identity and character! Let's keep this achievement going and improve from time to time. Though tougher matches are to come, this victory will provide a good platform for us to steer the 2024 tide next and we will not lose without giving a good fight. Victory isn't that far from us too. It might even be smiling on us. Just 1 more win would ensure us getting into the knockout round. We will play for 'identity' upon securing top four in the coming month for our remaining league matches and see how far we can go. God help us.

Do come in proper full soccer gear attire with shinguards as there will be a team and individual photo shoot by the hpl photographers for photo montage to be displayed at the finals.

Post match review

Hi fellow mates and friends,

First of all, give yourself a pat on the back if you have played. We have given our best and all which takes courage plus enthusiasium to even want to play and bearing all circumstances. I salute you guys! Let's also keep in mind that none of us are handpick to be the finest to form the best team we can get but we are all volunteering to come together to work towards the best and enjoy soccer in it's essence with friends around. As we also know that forming a decent team nowadays(especially when one gets older) is hard enough even for professionals outside being busy Singaporeans. Therefore, let's appreciate what we have and given us.

Overall, it was a good effort by everyone and we saw some positives. Defeat only helps learning and is a way to improving. Most importantly, we gain the experience which is most valuable and perhaps a simulation which we can relate as a resemblence of what FC 2024 or even Anonymous FC might be. That aside, We could see that our keeper 'Bowen' has improved tremendously and putting up good saves and a bravery performance. He could very well be our MOTM preventing us from further conceding. Keep it up bro! Praise to those scorers and defenders as well who have worked hard as usual especially guys like kenneth(consistent), Alex, Benson, Lennon, HongDao and all.

There are however a few heated exchange moments and our dear lennon wants to apologise to the team for his outburst and conduct. All we want to say is that we understand and do not blame you for it isn't entire your fault too. The other team also have some part to play. I'm sure everyone in the team would have already forgiven and embraced you. You've done your part with your experience, knowledge and fine football. You've contributed lots and we appreciate you!

Finally, this defeat wouldn't come as an element of surprise, shocked or whatsoever. Neither does it have any bearing nor needed any much comprehension. There may even be more matches such as this in the future... who knows. Certainly we know where we stand and we will all move on with that gained experience and prepare for our next and subsequent matches as a unit(good or bad, skilful or not) much more confident.
