Sitting Pretty
Bakunin was quick to admit that Shadow Chaser FC should have taken a point from their encounter. "They were solid at the back, and this is one of those games where the little things like a deflection in midfield or the ball bouncing a bit lower on a damp patch made the difference. We profited from some lucky calls that went our way too, but Hjortlind just proved that at the end soccer comes down to how well your men can place the ball into the net. He had two tries and scored two goals, that's how good he is." Hjortlind now sits together with Bengt Sunesson of FC GBR on nine league goals, one behind
Ola Martinsson. Woodlands Punishers' 19 year-old Chu Wei-Cheon's meteoric rise up the ranks continued as he brought his tally to eight with a hat-trick in the 3-3 draw against raffles. "He's on fire." even Martinsson had to admit.
Results elsewhere conspired to lift Grilled to the top of II.1 for the first time this season, as TheUnknowns edged out FC GBR 4-3 in a pulsating encounter in front of their home fans. Grilled's fans, who supported TheUnknowns for the day, were rosy about their club's prospects. "Last season, we had only 16 points after seven games with one walkover, while we are on 18 now. It just gets better."
