29 April marks our 10th victory over the Malaysian ladies soccer team in this year's Bench and Bar Games! Out of the 11 years that we've been playing, we have been champions in all of them, save for one game which we drew!
Yikes! That means it's been more than a decade since the few of us then netballers and soccer enthusiasts started the Law Society Ladies Soccer Team! I remember attending the Bench and Bar convenor meetings back then (as netball convenor) and proposing that we start a ladies team. The skeptics warned us that our nails might get chipped! Worst still, the large-sized Malaysian players (painted out to be monsters) will gouge out our eyes if we weren't careful! It was decided that we started out as a "non-competitive" event, and let's just see how it goes.
There's no turning back since that fateful game that we proved that we were a force to be reckon with! More often than not, being placed as one of the last few games put pressure on us to tilt the overall points in Singapore's favour! We have come a long way since the days of our not being taken seriously!
It was only last week that I've decided that the best way to preserve the fond moments was to blog it! And so, a new blog was born for our team. If you're interested in the A to Zs of the Law Society of Singapore Law Society Ladies Soccer Team, just click here! The blog is still work in progress as our team mates dig out those old team photos and match reports....so watch up for updates! There's a sister blog which houses all the uncensored match reports - unfortunately, that's a private blog, only made available to insiders! heh heh!
In case you're wondering, "Singapore Oooshh" is not the new restaurant at Dempsey road, but our battlecry before we get onto the field! Now, instead of chipped nails, I have purple toe nails! Think am losing a couple of 'em soon!
