What?Cage?what is it?Well basically it is a shophouse converted into a indoor football pitch.The area is the size of a futsal pitch.Pictures below.

The playing area

The grass is synthetic turf and is the same found at St Wilfried if you have played there before. Major european clubs like Barcelona, Werder Bremen and Arsenal uses that turf at their training ground. As for me it is definitely nice to play on the turf as it is good for sliding!!and you wont feel itchy unlike normal grass field.Whats good about the Cage is that you can play it under sweltering sun or heavy rain without any problem.

We played for 4 hrs today and since they got student promo, we only pay for the 2 hrs while the other 2 hrs is free!!Yes you seen correctly its free!!Overall i only paid $4 which was worth it.My early team comprises of azhar,haja,two of azhar's friends and ariff.Won like 2-3 games(cant remember exactly).I scored two goals where one of the goals is worthy contender for goals of the season!..But seriously,didnt expect the ball to swoosh past the keeper the moment it left my boot.The ball went to the top left hand corner of the post.Magnificent im telling you!.Too bad nobody capture it on video or else i could have posted it!

Enough of me..as for my other team-mates, happy being able to play with them especially Mr Prata..Haja.If only i got his stamina!Damn..he keep running and running and almost scored a goal!Ariff with his 'gentel' which is his trademark.His gentel will definitely bring him places someday.Well thats all for today adventure..Afro Out!

Woke up especially early today although just got back home from work late Saturday night. Got 6 hrs of sleep before waking up at 720am. Meet up with Masrin at Yishun mrt station because i didnt know where the field is located.On the way to meet Azhar, saw the field was in a terrible state considering it rain there earlier on. We waited for shahreen and the opponent to come.The game started around 1230 considering other teams were using the field.Yours truly played in defence and honestly was expecting a challenge.They comply albeit for the first 10 minutes before we came all over them. We were 5-1 at halftime and a during 2nd half when we were 8-1 up i could sense they were demoralise.Frustration got the better of them and scuffle broke out late in the game.

IMO we played well but was disappointed we let in one goal.How did i fare?Well i gave myself a 6.5/10 cos honestly its been a long time since i played field football.Went home straight after that as my body is covered with mud and i have to soak my stuff that are covered with mud as well.Definitely was a great Sunday!..Afro out!!Btw anyone who want to play football come down to the Cage 9 April.See ya there!
