Pre-Game Moments
Abang Norman... The Guy who upon hearing that I couldn't afford it, willingly sponsored the entire cost of the trip for me, despite having never even seen me before, all for one simple reason... we're both Victorians. I'm grateful the Victorian Spirit is still alive and well after all these years.
Pre-Match Team-Talk to lift our soggy spirits (Look at the rain!)
Our moods were splashed with cold water because of the weather. Talk about being a wet blanket!
The Baby of the team was also our Man-of-the Match... Baik Keeper!
The Looks on our Faces summed up our feelings about the weather
Our Team Joker Abang Den started his diving routine even BEFORE the match started! O_O
The field was practically rendered a swamp!
The Game was literally a total wash-out... the joke was we needed a sampan! -_-'"

Visibility was very bad on the skyline
