we turn 5 this oct 8th!! time really flies.
it has been a great 5 years of challenges and victories.
it’s great that our club is growing in size and in force. the achievements made these 5 years are simply fantastic. No club can boast of such achievements in their first 5 years, sending a very youthful team to play in the elite league and coming in 3rd!
the marvellous thing is that; there’s so much future in our team, in our club. Focusing on the youth development has been the cleverest strategy of all game strategies.
Happy birthday Crescent Hockey Club!

since Loi has put up the results for various tournaments in great detail, i shan’t repeat what has been covered.
It has been a good tournament year, a Great one in fact as it’s the second time we won a Championship at club level.. the first championship was Div 2 League in 2005.. and in 2006 we are U-18 champion!
We took part in Penang Sixes which was held over a weekend in Dec. As Nordin mentioned, it is considered a big step for us.. the first time we compete in a tournament overseas as a club !
The Crescent carnival is a success and we saw a jump in the no. of participating teams. There were 25 teams that took part in the carnival. We hope to further increase the no. of teams to 30 – 35 for 2007.
These are our goals for the next 5 years
Within the next 5 years, we should..
1) win u-21 tournament
2) ranked top 4 in Premier League
3) have more players in the National team
Things to look forward to in 2007:
Melbourne trip
King’s Cup in Thailand or ISCI in Indonesia.
Let’s have a good start this tournament year. I know we are missing quite a handful of key players who have to play for their JC in the age group tournament, nevertheless, let’s play hard and do our best. In order to be able to do your utmost best, and do justice to the team, players need to come down for trg ok… we have trg at NTU pitch 7-10 pm tuesdays and thursdays. please try your best to come down.

yesterday’s win marks a milestone for our club, our team.. the Victoria Country College have been coming down to Singapore for training tour fro 6 years now… and we have played against them 3 times i believe.. they’re great opponent. Fast, fit aggressive.. the kind that makes your head swirl cos their game play is so fast.. we plyed them twice… on monday, and yesterday.. on monday we lost 4-0. they were good.. but i felt that we played well too but the scoreline wasn’t representative of how we played.. so on tuesday.. we played them again.. and more senior players turned up.. and we got a goal first.. through Farah Noh.. it was a fantastic reverse hit to the top left hand corner.. well beyond the reach of the goalkeeper. and it was definitely a reason to celebrate. the australians had a few hard stopping chances too.. but they were not able to convert.. and later on in the 2nd half.. Shanna deflected the ball to sound the board. that was all it took to see us winning 2-0 .. winning for the first time.. the australians claimed that in all the games they played in their training trip, they’ve never lost to anyone.. isn’t it great..? well.. i was really happy.. so ecstatic!! and another great news.. we’re going to Australia next June.. lots of fund raising to do.. but hope this happpens..
