RedSportsXI
POLLS CLOSED MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, MAY 23.
Hi football fans and players,
The poll is over and before we get into the best 11 players, I must add that this poll is the most popular on Red Sports so far. As with all reader-generated polls, controversy abounds. Some have said the top 11 are not the best and are just a reflection of their popularity in school and mobilisation efforts by their friends. Well, so be it. No poll is perfect and if the best 11 were just picked by me and a couple of coaches, what’s the fun in that yeah? I’d rather let you guys do the picking.
So, here’s the RedSportsXI based on the votes:
Pierson Ang (#20, goalkeeper, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Adam Yuu Douglas (#26, defender, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Khairil (#23, defender, Meridian JC)
Gavin Lee (#13, defender, Victoria JC)
Fazli (#7, right-back, Meridian JC)
Mohamed Aswad (#10, midfielder, Millenia Institute)
Mahdi (#23, midfielder, Meridian JC)
Nathaniel (#12, centre midfielder, St Andrew’s JC)
Muhd Afrizal (#19, left winger, Jurong JC)
Alex (#10, striker, Victoria JC)
Chong Kuo Loon (#17, striker, St Andrew's JC)
So six schools have representatives on the RedSportsXI team. I think that’s a nice spread of schools and shows that no school has succeeded in spamming the poll in any great way. It also shows that there is talent spread out across the schools, players whose skills have impressed a wider selection of readers.
Out of curiosity, I decided I would list the next 11 players by vote. So here they are:
Alfred Yue (#1, GOALKEEPER, Jurong JC)
Lim Jun Liang (#5, defender, Victoria JC)
Matthew, (#3, defender, Meridian JC)
Warrick Wee (#7, right-back, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Luo Yu Kai (#18, centre-back, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Cedric Goh (#8, centre midfielder, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Nicholas Kang (#17, left winger, Victoria JC)
Jeremy Ong (#2, midfielder, St Andrew's JC)
Chester Lum (#16, midfielder, Victoria JC)
Anders Aplin (#9, striker, Victoria JC)
Daniel Kao (#14, striker, Anglo-Chinese JC)
If anyone can tell me what position Irwin Goh (#14, position?, St Andrew's JC) plays, he might warrant a position in the second RedSportsXI. I’ve left him out in the meantime because I don’t have that information.
So there you have it, the two best teams at A Division level according to the readers. Now, I don’t know about you, but I would pay good money to watch these two teams play. And if got to pick my players, I would add someone like Augustus Set (#7, midfielder) of St Andrew’s in my team cos that guy plays beautiful football. Augustus was a very late addition in the poll because he wasn’t nominated early by readers.
Although I only got to watch the semi-finals of the A Division, I was struck by the level of skill on display. It was a joy to watch. Also what was missing was all the nonsense you see from the English Premier League – diving, trying to get opponents sent off, arguing with the referee. Most players conducted themselves with decorum, dignity and manliness. My hats off to you.
So now, if you guys really want to watch RedSportsXI (A) vs RedSportsXI (B), and the players really want to play that game, hey, let me know. Maybe we can form a committee with 3 to 4 people and get this executed. I’m not doing this alone, that’s for sure!
Red Sports. Always Game.

there’s no such person called sim rui jie in dunman. and Marcus Phooi (ACS International) is #13
i dont think u should include so many players per team. 5 subs abit too much. i’m sure all would want to play n may lead to fights. so yeah. and maybe.. the all stars of redsports vs one player from each team. smth like that?
haha okay. the limitation of players from each sch is a superb idea
.
haha okay. the limit was a superb idea
grp A got good schools also wat.. ACJC, SAJC, RJC, NJC…. they have several good players. so its gonna be one hell of a match… GRP A all stars VS GRP B all stars.
then lets have a limit then. 3 players per school or something. choose 16 players per group. 11 players and 5 subs.
haha. then all the stars would come from mj and vj wouldn’t it? and of cos they will win.
to “ball” there’s no need to be over sensitive about my comment. You failed to see that what I was trying to say is an all star match is a great idea, just not one that would consist of the “best 11 A div players” that were voted here. So you see, I already agree with you that there is biasness as the votes are from the public,. you just failed to see that. To “soccerfan”, your idea of a group A vs. group B all stars is a great idea, better than East vs. West.
to soccer supporter: whats with u and acjc? go pick on someone else, or maybe go vote for ur frens in other schools. its a vote from the public, hence there will be biasness.duh
anyway uncle les,i think u shud like give a RED SPORTS trophy to the winner of the poll..haha..that’d be damn cool:)
lol..yea..a GRP A ALL STARS vs a GROUP B ALL STARS sounds mouthwearing!!!so uncle les,are u arranging a game?i really think u shud.i bet alot of people will turn up!!!
how about all stars from grp A versus all stars frm grp B..
JON ROCKS : D
Hello, “johnathan tan” no.2 from vjc supposed to be “jonathan tan”. JO
Hello, “johnathan tan” no.2 from vjc supposed to be “jonathan tan”. JO
I think having this match would be a great idea.
East vs. West might be a more interesting match as well, as opposed to putting up a team ACJC (Best 11 A division footballers) against another team.
All star game sounds good! Dividing them up will be interesting… IF we do a All star East vs West.
VJ and MJ are clearly in the east. IfSA fall in there too….the Eastern all stars might become overwhelmingly strong. The west would have AC,MI and maybe RJ. Would the west side schools bring enough balance to hold up against the easterners? It would be a mouth watering match though.
YES YES..I AGREE..an all star game..maybe the all stars against the A DIV CHAMPS:)..or maybe the all stars against singapore u-17 or something:)..
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The all-star game is a wonderful idea.
Only thing is whether the players themselves are up for it.
If they are, I’ll go and find a sponsor to host the match.
