Team FATA

Few players asked me for the procedure on getting friendlies, pitches and referees. So I might as well do a post here to share with you all, including any of our outside readers (Feel free to email us or use the tagboard on the right).

One of the easier way to get matches is through a medium that does all the organising for us. They would have a list of soccer teams, soccer fields and a few referees under their charge. From that, they would mix around and find a time slot to cater for all. While the main advantage is obviously the time and effort saved, the fee is a little higher compared to D.I.Y.

We have an affiliation with Sunsports in which both our previous and upcoming games are organised by them. Under their charge, they have 5 soccer fields, 2 at Fernvale, 2 at Katong and 1 at Mountbatten.

Now, if you do a search for "Team FATA" on their main page, you would find us under 2 different areas, "SunSports Super Champion League VI 2008 Sun PM GpA" and "SunSport Sports Club Friendly Games 2008". The former is a Sunday afternoon league while the latter is just friendly games. Do note that I rejected their request to join the league competition as it is not the time yet. Hence, we do not have to bother much about the league table found at the bottom of their page.

Additional note of this Sunday's game. If you scroll down right to the bottom of the page, you would find the table with Team FATA and Outside Utd (Our opponent this coming Sunday) inside. Now, take a look at Outside Utd's stats. 1 draw and 1 lost but with a goal difference of positive 3 goals? lol

As we might have a possible turn-out of more than 15 Fatarians, I am planning to have our 2nd dinner cum gathering at Jalan Kayu (Just few minutes walk from Fernvale). Standards may have dropped a little but their Roti Prata is still one of the best in Singapore.

Lets make a 2 wins in a row. Cheers :)
