Futsal Session

Many asked, "How would you celebrate a leap year that occurs every 4 years". We, here at UWE, have a very simple answer for you. "Play Futsal". LoL. Yeah and so we did, with 19 people (was 20 initially, until Wei Ho suffered a cracked lip), the session was held at the Astro Turt managed by UWE Sports Centre.

The game was good, initially when both teams refused to wear bibs, as they were honestly quite ugly looking. Left with no choice, a bet was made: whichever team who scores first need not to wear the bibs. Bet taken, 1st goal was scored by the Accounting & Finance (AF) side, and so the Business Administration (BA) had to wear the bibs.

Leg cramps striked approximately 3 players on the field, namely Billy Lee, Ivan Chan and also Chiew Vincent (after his heroic save of the ball as the GK).Probably its that boring for a futsal post but somehow an interesting event happened during the futsal. Chiew Vincent, playing Defense position, had a go at the ball being controlled by Ivan Chan, somehow the two managed to collide, with Vincent's head striking Ivan Chan's pelvic bone, resulting in a time break for a while. (Note: It was not a groin injury after all. LoL)

AF team was leading with the score 3-0, and then the BAs struck back with a goal. AFs eventually picked up and scored another two goals, making it 5-1. BAs, gathered back their team spirit, went on a goal striking spree until they took the lead at 7-6. Last few moments, AFs really picked up their pace and scored an equalising shot and the game ended with a draw. AF 7 vs BA 7.

Overall, a nice draw at 7-7; even better as we've managed to play for 2 hours non-stop.
