hey!
can anyone tell me how the victorian players got those adidas adizero when the actual date of realesing is 20th june!1
2 more days to MJC being CHAMPIONS! VJC were all over them the other day, but couldn’t take their chances. With our clinical finishing from Khair, Azmi, Amsyar and Naufal they have no chance.
SA defeated us fair and square and they wanted it more, Woohoooo if you’re from VJ you’re shaming the sch and MJ is not that strong
Dilip, you just proved that you are not just a good player, but a player with fantastic attitude and sportsmanship. You deserve the best player award.
Erm I don’t think Dilip says such stuff so please don’t impersonate him.
Hahahaha lose already talk so much
OH WHY DIDNT THE ARTICLE MENTION SAJC’S COUNTLESS “INJURIES”? seriously they could have won best actors award for that!
thanks for making our job easier to win!
HA HA HA. wait till you win then talk.
More photos in the gallery. Enjoy : )

Was at the match yesterday and I think it was emotional for both teams. VJC has a super team that will surely bounce back much stronger next year. For our Saints footballers, thank you for fighting so hard to bring us to the Final. Both teams should really be congratulated.
ZhiWei U MISSED A PENALTY?!!!
“edged out Victoria Junior College (VJC) 7-6 on penalities”
– shouldn’t it be 6-5 on penalties since 1-1 was fulltime score?
7-6 on penalties, 8-7 overall. The sentence is factually correct as it was referring specifically to the penalty count.
