This 8 a-side men veteran’s tournament saw RSC team comprising of Dato Poon Fook Loke, Bobby Ho (Captain), Convenor James Sia (Keeper), James Andrew, Siva Subramaniam and Jay Ooi taking to the field with a player short in this annual event held at Club Aman recently.

| Glad to be back RSC team! |
Even with a player short, the team believed that we could have end up as champions and this was evident when we held Liquorice Club to 0-0 despite equal attempts made by both teams at each end. Good goalkeeping by James Sia and steady backline of James Andrew and Bobby Ho halted the numerous attacks from Liquorice players . Maestro Dato Poon was all over the field and constantly feeding to Jay and Siva on the attack .

| Tiring morning... |
Good feeling after the first game but the following game with still 1 man short and no reserves at all, we were facing the Penang Sikh Union(PSU) team and were quickly down 1-0 within a few minutes thus destined for a trashing. Dato Poon immediately equalized and it was game on. But the toll had already taken on us and we finally succumbed to a 4-1 loss at the end.

| Old friends! |
The team was always hoping 1 or 2 of players who had agreed to come would somehow turn up but we went into our 3rd and final game with 1 man short. MUGS or Universiti Malaya Old Boys took hold of this advantage and the score line ended at 6-0.
Despite the outcome of the matches, we the team that played, had achieved what we had set out at the start of the game …that is to enjoy ourselves and build back our friendship with the Club Aman members. This was evident when Dato Dr Cheema who is also our Club member himself, along with Colonel Manjit ensured we had a good time afterward .We would like to thank Club Aman for being a gracious host and hope to see them at our tournament in July.

| Some words from the Organiser... |
Last but not the least, need to add that Bobby was playing with a fractured finger, Dato Poon was the first to arrive at Club Aman despite being at Malacca the night before and our Convenor James Sia was struggling to cope with all the aches after the many saves he did. For me this is due to one thing only …. PASSION FOR THE GAME !
Oh yes ..just one final one to add. We had the pleasure of having Amarjit Singh as our guest player and we the team would like to thank him sincerely for supporting our team. Without him we would have been down to 6 players only .Oh my!............
