Ken now a major doubt for Saturday

Lakeside - Kenneth's availability this Saturday is in doubts following the operation on his infected ear lobe. It was first thought that Kenneth would require two days to make a full recovery from the operation but it now appears that the infection is more serious than first thought.

Meanwhile, aging midfielder Leong Wai Meng has been uncontactable since Monday and any attempts to reach him by the team manager Vincent Low has been futile. Sources close to Wai Meng dismissed reports that Wai Meng has had his handphone service cut off. The sources instead hinted that Wai Meng is in talks to switch his allegience from M1 to Starhub.

Other newspaper reports has reportedly seen Wai Meng online and it is believed that he has been in touch with fellow Myjia member Wilkin Tan through MSN and has informed Wilkin that he will be available this Saturday despite his poor form.

Jackson, Junhao and Delvin scores in gutsy win
Hougang (Delayed news) - Delvin built on to his growing reputation with two well-taken goals to lead Myjia to victory over Hou Gang on Saturday.

The match was delayed by almost an hour as torrential rain swept into the north eastern part of Singapore before the players deemed the conditions playable having almost called off the match.

Lugging out in their heavily-drenched jerseys, Myjia fell behind to an early goal from a defence splitting pass by the admirable Jerry from Hou Gang. Playing for the first time in a waterlogged pitch, Myjia found it hard to play their passing game with the balls constantly getting stuck in puddles. The match was 38 minutes old when the Korean referee had to cancel the match after the higher management feared for the condition of the field. By this time, Myjia were lost in no man's land having been unable to find a way past the resolute Gang defending. Both teams trodded out of the field and after a lengthy discussion with the groundsman, the referee blew the whistle for the match to be resumed.

At the restart, the momentum set by Hou Gang was clearly disrupted by the match interuption. The team failed to penetrate with purpose as they had done before the break and were soon undone by a brilliant strike from just inside the box by Junhao. Minutes before the halftime whistle, Junhao turned supplier with an accurate through ball for Jackson to thump the ball past the keeper to give Myjia a 2 -1 lead. The goal was Jackson's second of the season but one which he will remember for a long time to come given the beauty of the goal.

Hou Gang began the second half with intent. A through ball was threaded through the Myjia defence three minutes after the restart only for ailing midfielder Weimin to needlessly concede a penalty. Hou Gang's Ian dispatched the penalty confidently. 2-2 to Hou Gang.

The tide was in Hou Gang's favour after the penalty and the scoreline soon read 3-2 to Hou Gang. Morale was draining away from Myjia players on the mudbath field until Junhao conjured up a piece of magic fifteen minutes from time to level the score at 3-3. Time and again Junhao produced something out of nothing and this time round, without any hint of danger, the Hou Gang keeper was beaten by a lob from over 30 metres out. Brilliant stuff from Junhao.

The goal effectively took the fight out of Hou Gang. Myjia were in supreme control for the last ten minutes of the match and Delvin took the opportunity to grab a double to bring his season tally to three. The second goal from Delvin was especially worth mentioning as Ebenzer pushed a ball for Gordon to chase and finally after 11 years,6 months and 276 days of waiting, the former Arrows defender produced an assist which Delvin finished off with aplomb.

The final score read 5-3 for Myjia as the team pulled off another amazing comeback after the setback of the previous match.

Editor's note: "It was brilliant watching Delvin notch the winner for Myjia and more so watching the guys celebrate the late goals together. I seriously think we should all celebrate the goals together for a bit more fun and better still if we can celebrate with the supporters as suggested by Grodo. (minus the arse showing). And, it was way funny to see Gordon passing to Delvin to score. Unbelievable. =P

Wilson to miss Hougang date

Kampung Bahru - Wilson Tan will be unavailable for selection this Saturday after being called up by his country. The Singapore midfielder was undeniably unhappy at being called up expressing his preference to play for Myjia instead.

" I really fancy playing for Myjia much more. Really, I am feeling a little down at the moment. I was so looking forward to the game this Saturday but now with the call-up, I am very disappointed not to be able to play a part."

In other news, Wilson has been cleared of any wrongdoings on allegations of a night out playing billiards for the previous match. Apparently, the event happened a night before the eve of the match.

" I hope these reporters will stop intruding us, footballers', privacy. If these things doesn't stop, I may have to engage my lawyers," threatened Wilson.

Tan brothers spotted at billiard saloon

9/2/06, Report by Weuji Hikikomori

Parklane - The Tan brothers from Myjia FFC were spotted playing billiards the night before an important game against Tampines Rangers. The two brothers were supposedly seen with another member of Myjia FFC. The player's identity could not be confirmed.

The three players were apparently enjoying themselves with Wilson Tan seemingly leading the scoreboard.

The two brothers will most likely face disciplinary action from the board while efforts to track down the third player proved futile. Myjia News were unable to trace the photographer as well.
