Editor: Myjia to name First Toa Payoh as homeground?
4/27/07, Report by L. Weimin
Boon Lay - Myjia FFC fans are beginning to wonder if First Toa Payoh will be considered as the team's homeground.
The team has played a total of eight games at the field and have a considerable record there despite suffering their heaviest defeat at the hands of Greenie. At present, Myjia's record at First Toa Payoh reads: Won 4, drawn 2, lost 2, scored 17, conceded 22.
Not exactly the best of records but certainly one that is improving especially after last week's stunning 3-2 victory over ExSinchi FC.
The victory was even sweeter given that ExSinchi were on paper much stronger than Myjia and despite leading scorer Junhao missing a host of chances, he still managed a brace to bring his remarkable tally to 8 goals this season, 5 of which were scored at First Toa Payoh.
Let's not forget the other scorers. The previous game also at First Toa Payoh saw Kenneth hit a rocket past the stranded opposition keeper and against ExSinchi, we saw yet another beauty from another homegrown talent.
Jackson Seetoh, hit four goals in Myjia's debut season but his latest goal at First Toa Payoh has got to be one of the best goals he will ever score. Cutting in from his left wing position after allowing Delvin to overlap, Jackson eluded two markers to glance a beautiful header into the bottom corner. The cross came from Delvin who provided another assist for Junhao's winning goal. The goal was quality all over and it's not just great goals seen from Myjia at First Toa Payoh.
Raymond has been in superb form all season and his series of brilliant saves from the ExSinchi No. 9 had the crowd purring in delight yet again.
So, two brilliant victories at First Toa Payoh coupled with great goals and superb saves. Perhaps, just one more swashbuckling performance at First Toa Payoh will really convince the Myjia contingent that home is sweetest at First Toa Payoh.

Myjia scouts head for Korea Seoul - South Korean clubs have been alerted to the news of the impending arrival of three of the most senior scouts for Myjia in their capital city Seoul.
The three scouts have been some of the harshest critics of violence in football and will carry out scouting work in Seoul. Reports suggest that the scouts will not only scout for talents but also clothings and other such items.
The unnamed scouts are due back in Singapore by next week.
Raymond stars in 4-2 triumph

Toa Payoh - Veteran keeper Raymond produced a series of stunning saves to help Myjia secure an impressive 4-2 victory over Chelsea Veteran, albeit aided by a first half hat-trick by the irrepressible Junhao.
A heavy downpour hours before the match threatened the postponement of a Myjia match two weeks in a row but a late pitch inspection deemed the field playable as Myjia players in particular eagerly took to the field.
Unsurprisingly it was Myjia who adapted better to the wet condition. The team showed its promise with a series of passing, running circles round the Chelsea Veterans defence. The passes soon culminated into an early goal as hitman Junhao outran the ageing Veterans defence to slot past the keeper for his fourth goal of the season.
The goal further boosted Myjia's confidence while the Veterans found no solution to the problems posed by the direct running of Junhao, ably supported by the foraging Kenneth.
By the 25th minute, Myjia had gone 3-0 up courtesy of further goals from Kenneth and another from Junhao. Myjia's wing wonders were brilliant with Jackson imposing himself steadily on the left wing and a marauding Delvin on the right proving too much to handle for Veteran. In short, the overall play from Myjia was thoroughly impressive.
Junhao completed his hat-trick in the 35th minute with a thumping shot which left the unfortunate keeper grasping thin air. The goal proved one too many for Chelsea Veterans who began showing the dark side to their game. Persistant small talk to rile the Myjia players and several over-reaction to soft challenges were starting to sink its roots into the Veterans game.
Giant Myjia defender Sunny had to be cautioned for a late flying tackle in retaliation to a flagging elbow from a previous challenge.
The ten minutes prior to half-time were a sign of things to come in the second half. The Veterans antics continued much like in the first half but credits to Myjia, the players were generally in control and kept their discipline.
A shuffle of tactics in the defence led to two sloppy goals conceded by Myjia before Myjia braced themselves to hold on and hopefully increase their lead.
Veteran Myjia striker Eric Low had a 25 yard shot saved by the keeper on the hour mark. That wonderful shot could have been a glorious way to open Eric's account for Myjia this season after failing to get on the scoresheet last season.
Speedy winger Delvin then had a thunderous effort headed clear after the Veterans defence sloppily cleared a corner. Had the goal gone in, it would definately have been a contender for the goal of the season and possibly one of the best goal for the young Myjia import. The goal, had it gone in, would have also been an ideal present for Delvin who turns 21 next weekend.
Myjia gradually dropped men back into its own half to preserve the two-goal advantage and the intense pressure of the last ten minutes was an eye-feast for the neutrals.
On at least three ocassions, Raymond stood his ground and displayed his athleticsm and reflexes to thwart the Veterans. It was a top-drawer performance from the veteran keeper who deservingly got the Man-of-the-Match award at the end of the match for securing a second win on the trot for Myjia.
