“It was a very good attacking game of football by both teams, with end-to-end action.
“It had been a good game with pace: some good goals, and poor ones as well. We had plenty to learn from and having kept going for 90 minutes, we should have scored more.
“Overall, I’m satisfied with the effort from the boys.
“Even when we were down, I told them to go all out in the second half and we managed to find our way back with my goal. However, I suppose the sucker punch came from Pondok 12’s fourth goal and perhaps better on the day.”
Happy birthday to me.........
