Kick-off Time: 8:00pm
Venue: Intramural Playing Fields
Jersey: Spain (Away)
**UPDATE - We're playing Scoregasm instead. Sorry for misinforming.**
We've not been having match previews and match reports for the past few weeks, and I on the behalf of the 'At Vandy' contributors would like to deeply apologize. It has been a hectic few weeks, what with the semester closing up and everything - and that should always take precedence over football. A lesson to note for others hopefully.
Malay FC finished the 'B Gold' league with four wins and one draw. That meant we top the group and will play in the quarterfinals on Wednesday, the 8th. Finishing top of the group implied a technically easier tie in the quarterfinals, namely the fourth team of league 'B Black'. The second team in league 'B Gold' plays the third team in league 'B Black' and so forth. As the games are not yet completed in the 'B Black' league, we're still left uncertain as to whom we'll face. There are two possibilities - Warlock and Mulla's fraternity/arab team; their names absent from memory. Both ties are tricky as Chica FC might testify. Warlocks was the team that had huge players and defeated Chica FC on Chica's first game. On the other hand as with Mulla's fraternity - most of us have played against the middle east students to know the tremendous quality they possess.
As always, Malay FC would play following the same game plan we've had throughout the tournament. There are no injuries reported except that our goalkeeper Hafiz looks to suffer from a slight flu. We also welcome back the service of Jerry after being away for the last game against El Turcos. So the team formation looks set viz:
Shawn
Dollah --- Izwan --- Amar
--- Shah --
-- Hasan ---
Aniep ------ Baba
Jerry
Dollah --- Izwan --- Amar
--- Shah --
-- Hasan ---
Aniep ------ Baba
Jerry
Subs: Hafiz, Billy Joe, Nasir, Khairi, Salman
Weather forecasts have tomorrow as sunny with a high of 18 deg C and low of 4 deg C. As we'll be playing at 8:00 it might be a little chilly so everyone is advised to have on sufficient outerwear. We're heading into spring semester crunch time so it might be tricky for people to show up, but again any form of support is highly welcomed. To that note I wish everyone a good end to the semester - there's not even 3 weeks left so let's get our acts together and make that first step towards finishing strongly. Good muslims are those who are balanced in everything they do, so apart from being good at football/cheering, let's all strive for academic excellence as much.
Till tomorrow, salam wrwb.
