THE BEACH SOCCER FRIENDLY
The above is a group photo of both the Singapore and Malaysian teams. The Malaysians take up most of the bottom row, save for the 2 or 3 from the right, while the Singapore team take up most of the top row save for the 2 or 3 from the left. The only 2 ladies representing the Singapore beach soccer team were Susan (second from right) and Wei Min (next to her in photo).
THE REPORT FROM THE JUNE ISSUE OF SINGAPORE LAW GAZETTE
"The magnificent LADA stadium, with a big electronic scoreboard proclaiming the scores, played host to all the soccer matches. The pitch was wonderful and the action was equally exciting.
The highlight of the afternoon was the Ladies Soccer match. Under a blistering sun, the Singapore girls looked set to be thrashed by a much bigger Malaysian team.
But once the game got going, it was Singapore which dominated the match. The Malaysian girls, though menacingly bigger in physical attributes, were completely outclassed by a quick and nimble Singapore team. What we lacked in size, we made up for with speed and skill.
Our girls repeatedly outran and outwitted the Malaysians, and were virtually camping in the Malaysian half throughout the match. As a testament to our total dominance, our goalkeeper touched the ball only twice – once to catch a high lob towards the penalty area, and the other to take a goal kick after the Malaysians had sent the ball tamely over the goal-line in one of their rare attacks. Despite being bombarded with no less than 10 shots on goal, the lucky Malaysians were able to block or scramble the ball out of touch time and again.
The match was won early in the first half by Woman-of-the-Match, Susan Lim, who lashed an unstoppable thunderbolt to the roof of the net from some 25 metres out."
