CCAB, Friday, May 18, 2007 – Raffles Junior College (RJC) outlasted defending champions Victoria Junior College (VJC) 7-6 in a penalty shootout after their semifinal ended in a 1-1 stalemate at full-time.
In the other semifinal played later, Meridian Junior College (MJC) and St Andrew’s Junior College ended their semifinal in a goalless draw in regulation time. In the penalty shootout that followed, MJC held their nerve to emerge 4-3 victors.
RJC and MJC will now meet in the Championship Final next Thursday, 24 May 2007, 4:30 pm, at the National Stadium. The 3rd/4th placing game will start at 3 pm at the same venue.

Play hard. Play fair.
May the best team win.

when and where is 3rd/4th play off?
finally. Raffles used to have a good tradition for scouts and soccer. let there be a spark that re-kindles the long lost fires so that it will burn brightly, just like how scouts light fires during camp
perhaps the final will usher in a new era where Raffles is also known for both soccer and rugby footballs, rather than being a flash in the pan fluke
and maybe VJ will bounce back after this ‘defeat’
errr, that is not VJ’s captain. anyway, vj played really well. GO GO GO!
i tot finals is at jalan besar stadium? who says it’s at national stadium?
agreed. it would be nice to watch a rematch of last year finals: VJC vs MJC. It was really a tough and good match last year.
good luck to MJC and RJC for the finals.
good luck to SAJC and VJC for the 3rd/4th placing match
May the best team win!
