TBWT 0-12 LCSWT
- 76′: GOOOAL FOR LCSWT!!!
This game wouldn’t be complete without a long-range blast from LCSWT No.4 Umairah. She strikes the ball from just above the centre circle inside the TBWT half. It’s perfectly hit – the ball arcs into the back of the TBWT goal – just out of reach of the TBWT GK.

She shoots but the ball hits the side netting.
TBWT 0-9 LCSWT
- 52′: TBWT No.28 makes a solo run down the right flank into the LCSWT half but she has to fend off three LCSWT defenders. She takes a shot near the corner of the LCSWT penalty box but it is too weak to trouble LCSWT GK Shakira.

TBWT 0-6 LCSWT
- 40′: Occasionally, LCSWT No.9 Raeka Ee would play a false 9 role and drop into midfield to contest for the ball before returning to the front line. Work rate
.
TBWT 0-6 LCSWT

TBWT 0-6 LCSWT
- 30′: TBWT No.28 beats LCSWT No.76 in a 1v1 near the centre circle inside the LCSWT half. She runs with the ball and drifts left towards goal. Unfortunately, she decides to take a speculative shot from way outside the box and LCSWT GK has no problem saving the shot.

LCSWT No.9 Raeka Ee storms through the midfield and into the TBWT box. With no one left to mark her, she shoots and scores!
TBWT 0-2 LCSWT
- 15′: The ball has passed the halfway line twice so far for TBWT. TBWT No.11 Syakirah is left upfront in case a through ball comes her way.
LCSWT seems to be overhitting a lot of their chances though with a few balls going over the net.
TBWT 0-1 LCSWT
- 5′: GOOOAL FOR LCSWT
14 year-old No.32 Ain gets on the scoresheet with a shot at the eight-yard mark on the right into the far post.
TBWT had been effective at clearing the ball up to that point.
TBWT 0-1 LCSWT
- K.O.: TBWT 0-0 LCSWT
- 5 mins to K.O.: I was wrong! TBWT GK No.24 Vanessa is going to start for TBWT. GLHF!
- 15 mins to K.O.: It looks like LCSWT GK No.22 Beatrice Tan is not goalkeeping for LCSWT this evening (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!). No.1 Shakira is taking her place. What is this, a cup final?
- 25 mins to K.O.: Friend of the account/blog TBWT No.24 Vanessa Tan is not wearing her GK jersey. No.1 Sarrinah will be between the posts instead. How did she get out of this one?
- 35 mins to K.O.: The gates are open! This weekend will the last set of games before SGWPL takes another break for internationals. The Lionesses will be taking on Macua on home soil at the
National StadiumJalan Besar Stadium!
- 90 mins to K.O.: What to expect:
- LCSWT will probably want to score a goal as soon as possible just to reassure themselves that the GIWT defeat was a fluke – No.2 Madison Telmer, No. 9 Raeka Ee and No. 20 Dorcus Chu should start ahead of their younger teammates.
- If TBWT pick up anything from the GIWT vs. LCSWT game, they might try defending with a low block. It takes a lot of commitment tho to stay the course and get battered while waiting for that one mistake to take advantage of.
- 2 hours to K.O.: Anything less than 19-0 and I will ask for my money back.
“It’s a good wake-up call. The girls now understand that we are not invincible. Each of us have to take ownership of our individual roles, as well as fine-tune our style of play together as a team to regain our winning formula,” says LCSWT captain Umairah in the match preview article.
- 24 hours to K.O.: Here we go! A bruised LCSWT – after their 2-1 loss to GIWT last weekend – will be looking to redeem themselves and reestablish their lead at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, TBWT have lost their last three matches 7-1, 4-0 and 2-0 to SAWFC, GIWT and TPUWT respectively.
Uneven match-up you say? Better close both eyes for this one… it’s gonna be a mauling and then some.
