astounding....

23 dec 08- A wonderful day for local K. Terengganu football team X-Juniorz as they have successfully won their friendly match against old time rivals Chung Hwa form 3. The match which kicked off at about 9 am this morning was filled with action throughout the whole match. Abdul Hakim Ghazali who was back for the holidays, scored the opening goal with a beatiful lob shot that went straight above the keepers head.

However X-juniorz were determined to put their past behind them and widen the gap. Muhamad Ashraf, the team star player, managed to do just that by netting two more goals. X-juniorz goalkeeper, Tan weng ju, was tested early in the match too, by some attacking from the chung hwa forwards. Nevertheless their efforts were useless. After the half-time break the game seemed to slow down a bit as the weather was getting to the players heads. the chung hwa players mustered enough energy and managed to score a few more goals but they failed to equalise. The final score was 7-5 to X-juniorz. Today X-juniorz have only won one of their many meetings with the chung hwa form 3. They managed to win today also due to the great defending by the captain, Gan Teik Wern, and three other defenders, namely Aaron, Wee choon khai and Arul. The Chu brothers put up spectacular footwork from the right side, and on the other side was the dual attacking by Ashraf and Hakim.

X-juniorz manager, Arul Divyan Pakiam said that he was very happy with the teams co-operation despite a few of the usual players not being able to make it due to undisclosed reasons. "The new strategy worked very the fine ah, on the whole we only missed a few chances during the game. I feel very the proud ah, because er after the 4 years of the playing, our team aer is very the hot and the spicy, eh I mean our team has become very good." said the south terengganu based team manager.

The chung hwa players were a bit sadenned by the loss and left the stadium soon after the match ended. The X-juniorz players were later seen having a nice kampung style breakfast at a local stall. The official score of the match was 7-5.
