And so it came to pass, that my 1st match for OVA Juniors (all this while I've been playing for Kallang Victorians, but I've since been called up to the Juniors squad) was played in near-lightning and thunderstorm conditions. Such was the danger that the referee made it clear to us that one long whistle from him meant that the game was cancelled.
Abang Zan played a 3-5-2 formation, with me on the left flank. Effectively, I was playing as a left midfielder, not a left-winger, so you can imagine after dribbling down the wing in attack I had to sprint back almost immediately to cover the left-back position... throughout the whole game! Luckily the cold weather helped preserve my stamina. Anyways, we lost that game, with the Half-time score 1-2, and Full-time score 2-5.
I got my 1st football injury in a long while. Usually I'm quick enough to avoid challenges, but as I'd planted my studs into the shin of the right-back (accidentally!) in the first half, I think Karma came around to hit me in the left ankle... several times... as I limped off and had to substituted very late in the game 0_0
