My 1st Match as an Old Victorian!

I've recently been called to join the Old Victorians' Association, my alma mater's alumni, to play for them. So far, I've had only a kickabout session with them once, and this was the 1st time I was playing with them as an Old Victorian, under the team Kallang Victorians (we Victorians have shifted sites 3 times). I had no hesitation at all in forking out $40 to buy a set of jerseys, as it was the only time I've ever got to don a jersey representing my school badge, even though it was the OVA's badge, because I did not play for VS back in the schooling days. I felt incredibly proud of course. Match was against Team Esplanade, a team of burly, middle-aged tattoo-ed Mats with fierce hair and even fiercer faces. We won 2-1 anyway. Played the 1st half as a left-winger, and the 2nd as a left-back. A first for me!
Match-Day PhotoA team-mate commented that I look like Sonic the Hedgehog, what with the spiky hair, blue jersey and red boots. Konghasam! =\

This Sunday 040109, my football team, TKH, will be having a match against the OVA at Victoria School's artificial pitch. This will be interesting because the core of TKH are made up of Victorians from The Clan, and we also have played for/with the OVA at one point or another, including Al Capitan Yusry, Aizad, Khairul, Zulhairi and Yours Truly. Not forgetting that OVA also has Adam, a Clan member but not in TKH, in their ranks. The TKHians will of course be playing for TKH, and so we'll be squaring off against Adam and Friends. I'm all fired up for this!!!
