YOG Football Bronze Medal (Singapore 4 Montenegro 1)

HKSS had 2 players in the starting 11 for the successful 4-1 victory against Montenegro.
It was a proud moment for all who are associated with HKSS.
Well done Ammirul and Firdaus !
We hope to see Hamzah getting some play time in the near future in Singapore colours too.
Their achievement will be forever be in the YOG history and HKSS's sporting history.
All 3 HKSS players celebrating the success at the YOG.

Firdaus had an excellent game against Montenegro.
He started as a right back but had to be slotted into the middle of defence when captain Jeffery Lightfoot was knocked out injured by a Montenegro player.
Firdaus kept things simple and made it difficult for the Montenegro attackers to come near.
Goal ! My first headed goal for Singapore !
Head I win.

YOG Football update

This YOG team is on the brink of history making.
Imagine how it would be like if they reach the finals.
I just hope that Firdaus and Hamzah would get some action against Haiti today.
They deserve a few minutes on the pitch to show what they can do for Singapore.
SundayTimes feature a possible lineup against Haiti for the YOG semi-final.
Ammirul was described as a classy midfielder who can dictate play.
Most importantly : he comes from HONG KAH SECONDARY SCHOOL.
Ammirul celebrates Singapore's first goal with his YOG teammates.
Ammirul seems to be a regular in the YOG team now.
He did fine against Montenegro.

After doing badly against Haiti...
I told Ammirul to score a hattrick.
He just won't listen.
But scoring 2 goals is not too bad is it ?
