One more old hand was drafted in by Qi Haupai, who insisted that one could never have too many vintage gladiators in a squad. The easygoing Tom Pence had seen years of action with Kentucky side Luver, but was offered on the cheap with his team promoting to Division Four and needing cash for new players. At S$86 000, the consensus is that Qi Haupai has again demonstrated his habit of making transfer steals.

Wholesome all-American Pence made it a point to shake the hands of everyone at the club and made a few hearty backslaps on the friendliest around him. "Great place, Singapore! Doncha worry, I'm not spraying any of yourse cars, we read the news in the States too!" Pence twinkled.
