Hey guys, hope you people are doing fine. Well this post is to confirm EVERY detail of the stuff that Shank has negotiated on. It is going to be in a clear organised way so that you don't have to strain your eyes.
-----
Jersey Information
Outfield Jerseys (Top) : Nike (Blue). Name, number, club badge and sponsor printed.
Outfield Jerseys (Pants) : Nike (Blue). Number and Nike logo printed.
Keeper Jerseys (Top) : Nike (white). Name, Number, club badge and sponsor printed.
Keeper Jerseys (Pants) : Nike (black/white). Number and Nike logo printed.
-----
Boots and Equipment Deals
30-40% off for ALL boots, shin guards, socks and keeper gloves. So you just have to fork out 60% of the price.
-----
Fee(Payment)
The team has to fork out $25 for the jersey because the sponsor has already given us a freaking huge discount. It was $85 and then they subsidised $60, so the remaining is $25.
The sponsor is ManFinancial. Don' ask why their name so macho. But really man, cool sponsor. We will all look like MEN!
-----

By Order Of The Chandra Family : We people are suppose to give the following details to Shank.
1. Size of jersey.
2. Personal Particulars

4.Size of shin guards(OPTIONAL)
5.$25
IMPORTANT : PLEASE MAKE SURE THE $25 AND THE FOLLOWING DETAILS ARE HANDED IN TO SHANK BY FRIDAY(29TH SEPTEMBER). IF FOR ANY REASON YOU CANNOT, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT HIM.

Like OP said, it indeed is exciting times for MPFC. We are all going from relative unknowns to a real club which has sponsors and all.
Keep cool for now though. When the jersey arrives, we will then cheer!

Just In! Contributions by OP for our club badge. Thanks to all those who have been designing/drawing/scouting for jerseys/working hard on the blog and settling stuff for MPFC.

2nd is the Gold jersey with Adidas at the centre there. Sleeves have black stripes(3)
3rd is Blue with Adidas at the right shoulder. Sleeves have black stripes(3)

Give us your comments. Thanks!

Hey guys, hope you guys are doing well in school, especially the O Level guys this year. Well, ironically, Shank and I went to Suntec in the middle of our prelims cause SOMEBODY said need jacket, as though no jacket = die.
So on the way I thought it was better to keep a lookout for our jersey(sponsored one). Here are some of the few jerseys we managed to find. No blue cause we are afraid it will clash with Samuel's SoccerBlues. The most well received one so far is the Orange Adidas™ one.
Do give opinions on the jersey and DO SUGGEST any eye catching and attractive jersey you have seen recently.
For now, the admin stuff just ask Shank. We'll have a preview of the Club Badge soon too.
=D See all of you in the evenings if possible.

Please Read!!!

Firstly i would like to apologise to anyone who did not get the numbers that they wanted.But this was foreseen and you know that
But i'm glad that most of you are happy with then numbers that I have given u all without asking firs. Many of you have come to me and ask me that they want to chage thier number but its not that easy. But if u really want that number what u can do is like for example "Mark wants 7 but daniel is having that number so u go to him and ask him if he can take another number and give you the number and if he say cannot then too bad"(sorry guys for using your names ). I can only try my best to get you another nice number and just for your info you are ONLY allowed to chosse from 1 to 30 and thing else NO ADDING OF + ,@ and -. I have ask the 'designers' to create a logos/badges and jersey for MPFC and i will post them up by tomorrow and plz vote for the best one. The one with the most votes will be chossen to be our logo and jersey. There are suggestions from players to not put our name behind and in state put the sponser's name.
ANYTHING SMS, CALL, TALK TO ME IN MSN OR U CAN ALSO E-MAIL ME I DON'T MIND

MPFC/MDG (B): Road To Glory

-Game 1, Group Stages-
MarineDriveGardens 1-1 Opponents
Scorer For MDG: Shankaran(1)

we're up against a mix of indians and malays who were obviously above the age of 18. im not sure how they managed to qualify for under-18s.. there were at least 2 other teams which were made up with people overaged.. we opened the scoring during the first half when shank unleashed a shot from half court to put take us into the lead.. however, with only a minute left, we conceded due to some slack defending.. final score MDG 1:1..


-Game 2, Group Stages-
MarineDriveGardens 2-2 Opponents
Scorers For MDG: ChongYi(1), Shankaran(1)

our opponents consist of ppl from my secondary sch.. they were clearly owning us and they were 2-0 up at the end of the first half.. we pull a goal back when i went into a tackle quite aggressively and slotted the ball past their keeper.. we were more settled and shank scored again in an almost similar fashion as his first goal to equalise for MDG.. the expression on the opponents' faces clearly showed their disappointment.. final score MDG 2:2..


-Game 3, Group Stages-
MarineDriveGardens 2-5 Opponents
Scorers For MDG: ChongYi(2)

we're up against a team of skillful malays from my sch again.. they won all their 3 games so far and we had nothing to lose really.. as expected, they drew first blood when they scored and they went on to score a total of 5 goals.. i saved some blushes for the team by scoring 2 goals.. final score MDG 2:5..


-Game 4, Group Stages-
MarineDriveGardens 1:0 Opponents
Scorer For MDG: Mark(1)

mark waited for the last game of the group stages to make his mark.. he scored the solitary goal which put us in 2nd position assuming that other results went our way.. it was a rather emotional moment for him and everyone in our team were really high.. final score MDG 1:0..


-Game 5, Semi-Finals-
MarineDriveGarden 0:0 Opponents
Opponents won on sudden death penalty.

the opponents we are facing are all bigger than us in terms of age, size and heights.. their team consists of malays, indian and a foreigner.. the team earlier on trashed our another under-18 team 5-0.. however, my team overcame all odds to hold out a draw.. we moved on to the penalty shootout which saw Mark missed the penalty for us.. it was indeed heartbreaking to lose out on penalties but kudos to mark for having the courage to step up to take the penalty for the team.. we failed to get into the finals and we accepted the fact that we will be playing for the 3rd placing.. anyway we had already exceeded the expectations by getting into the top 4.. we would be coming back on sunday for the 3rd and 4th placing match.. the other semi was identical to our semis too when both teams drew 0:0 and the better team went out on penalty.. so we will be facing the team we lost to 5:2 during our group stage.. SIAN.


-Game 6, 3rd & 4th Placing Match-
MarineDriveGarden 0:4 Opponents

we were totally owned by this team.. we had no shots at goal and made them look good.. given a chance i tink we can do better.. credit for firdaus for saving lots of shots.. final score MDG 0:4..

7:20 PM

10:03 PM


































The prizes that we won and us. The 3rd one was taken while walking back to Parkway. Cheers to this magnificent team, including Raiyan for contributing at least some defending.

=D cheers to all again for the competition. We did Marine Drive proud. Love Mr Ang.

Oh and Nicholas Zheng is joining MPFC after O levels. He was the Captain of the other U-18 team. So just wait after O levels, he will be in.

7:03 PM


Hey guys, as you know our team(AGAINST ALL ODDS) managed to enter the semi-finals with 1 win 2 draws and 1 lose. We held a freaking strong team in the semis and thanks to me(Mark), entered 3rd/4th placing.

Well, sometimes you miss what. The penalty was a poor one afterall. So my fault.

Anyway, Sunday saw our Open team winning a game in fine style. They lost to 3 strong teams, including one Brazilian-like team. Good job guys, we win some and lose some.(by Shank)

Well we lost 4-0 so really can see the standard between the well-trained and us. Our standard considered not that bad already cause we got 4th out of 10 strong teams.

Good try, all MDG teams and our thanks especially to Mr Ang for giving us the chance, getting us out of trouble on Saturday morning and buying us lunch.

Eh can you believe that bodoh police thought I was in gang?!?!?!? He can ask me "You play what number?"

WTF right? Best ah MP policemen. We also saw our captain standing up against the cocky policemen for the team. Thanks Captain.

To all the players of MDG A, B and C : It was a good experience and for our team, we have to thank "The Godfather" Shankaran for dragging us back from 2 probable losses to 2 draws.

Player ratings will be by Chong Yi(MPFC Rater) so happy waiting for him to update.



PICTURE OF THE DAY : TOM IP KIN HOE(Spelling is correct)

Hello guys, this is my first post for the blog. As you know tomorrow is the "Internationals" for us so it's a chance for us to gain experience.

Shank has passed the message already, 7 at badminton court. The latest will be 7.15 as we will have breakfast(important ok!) before match day.

Attire is blue AND white jersey for both teams cause he said there may be a clash of colours.

So catch a good sleep and rest well. Tomorrow should be interesting.

Oh, and Captain is tagging along with us. Boost a bit of morale. =)
