Warm Up Match

On 14/10/07, HPL held its inaugural warm up match, pitting FC 2024 VS team youth (haven't got their name yet), on the pitch in Tampines Sec Sch. All in all, it was a good day of fun and competition. The match also served to highlight that many of us need to do more training and stamina building!

FC 2024 was led by team captain Esmond Kan, and Team Youth was led by team captain Kenneth.

Many felt that the weather was a killer; and with temperatures soaring, it wasn't a surprise that many subs took place. Good game with little fouls, only one yellow card shown for a late challenge.


Final Score: FC 2024 5 - 0 Team Youth

Esmond (3)
