RMM 5 Red Indians 2

Another Demolition Job

Coming off a string of excellent results, the veterans of RMM were looking to continue their good form in this clash against the unknown Red Indians (RI).

However, given RMMs poor track record against teams of Indian descent, RMMs 2 fans in attendance had anticipated that the wily veterans would struggle to keep their recent unbeaten streak intact.

The on form RMMers then showed that this was not the case as they controlled the game early on. The midfielders and strikers were guilty of missing some gilt edged chances during the first period of play before Mat Burit popped up to score a rare header from an excellent Blindman Poon cross from the left.

RMM continued to dictate play with Blindman Poon creating havoc on the left with his devastating speed. The veterans then had a chance to stretch their lead when Guvnor's freekick from 45 yards out smack the RI crossbar.

Against the run of play, RI scored when Red Devil Meng wandered too far up on the left, leaving a huge gap for RI to exploit. Despite his best efforts, Titan could not cover the gap and that left the RI winger plenty of time to roll a cross across the RMM goal into a grateful team mate to sweep the ball home from 6 yards out.

If anyone thought that RI would then go on to build on that, they were mistaken. RMM almost immediately restored it's 1 goal advantage and what a goal it was.

Still seething from his earlier strike against the RI crossbar, Guvnor then smashed home a forty yarder with his left foot instead. Top corner, leaving the RI keeper with little to do but watch.

Partyman Eddie then added a 3rd for RMM in the dying seconds of the 1st half when he cheekily lobbed the ball over the onrushing RI keeper after receiving a hopeful punt of a through ball from Speedy.

The Master Of The Universe then took up his regular spot in goal for the 2nd half, giving Shark the opportunity to join in the RMM rampant attacks.

Mat Burit then doubled his personal tally when he scored his second off Guvnor's through pass, giving RMM a 4-1 lead.

Dead and buried, RI then managed another consolation goal when their striker's looping header beat the stranded Speedy whom one can tell was already thinking of excuses whilst the ball was looping over his head in slow motion.

RMM then showed everyone who was watching how the game should be played when Guvnor also double his tally after finishing off a move that involved a superb series of passes and crosses to end the game @ 5-2.

With resident superstars Batigol and Flash That missing from this game and without a consistent lineup upfrint, the veterans seems to have mastered the art of scoring goals from all angles with everyone weighing in with their fair share.
