Harold in particular made his comeback to the team in style, slamming in 2 vital goals, while Charlson recorded his first goal for several years in spectacular fashion. The game kicked off in the blazing sun at Bendemeer Secondary School. Within only a few minutes, players could feel their boots burning. But Central Park didn’t need to be fired up further, taking the game to Matador from the start. They matched the physical presence of the Matador team, battling for the ball in every part of the pitch. Chances on goal were at a premium in the first half. Matador especially didn’t have their shooting boots on, with Mizan left with only routine catches to make. The Sharks fashioned a few chances, with Brendan trying shots from distance but all sailed wide. Their best opportunity came when Issac’s header looked destined for the bottom corner, but the goalkeeper was alert to palm the ball round the post. Jason too tried a shot from a narrow angle, which the custodian again tipped the ball over the bar. The manager rung in the changes after the break. Harold and Jia Wen came on for Chris and Jason. Charlson took Zhuoneng’s place at right back while Jeffrey was replaced by the impressive Jun Siong. Matador started the half with intent, winning more possession in the middle of the park. However their attacks remained toothless with Anuar and Vince neatly mopping up at the back. Jun Siong also displayed some monster throw-ins, similar to those by Stoke City’s Rory Delap. With the strikers not producing any results, Charlson decided to take matters into his own hands. As he exchanged passes with Anuar down the right, the wingback caught everyone off guard, especially the opposing keeper, when he let fly a thunderbolt into the top corner from over 20 yards away. It's another story if the full-back actually meant it. The Sharks confidence grew with the goal, and it showed in their crisp passing as they comfortably stroked the ball across the park. They extended their lead soon after, when diminutive forward Heng Li laid the ball into Harold’s path just outside the box. The winger needed no invitation to volley into the bottom corner. The speedy attacker gave his marker lots of problems down the left, and was put through again by Heng Li. This time Harold cut past one defender and blasted the ball past the keeper at the near post. The Sharks held firm at the back for the rest of the game, passing the ball with aplomb as victory looked secure. Sophian had one final chance to add to the scoreline near the end, but his shot was comfortably saved. Despite the back to back wins, Central Park remains in the relegation zone but has 4 games left. The team needs to build further on their good form to turn this season around. The manager said after the game, 'It was a vital game for the team and we kept plugging away to ensure that we get maximum points. The first goal was crucial as it made the team grew in confidence.' He added, 'The last 4 games will be close considering that the teams above us are fighting for the last playoff spot. Nonetheless, with rumors going around on the expansion of each division to 10 teams, it could be interesting where we end up next season.'

The Sharks built on a strong performance against the British Exiles in the last outing, despite conceding unnecessary goals which made the game look closer than it actually was. Mizan resumed his primary role of custodian, while Jeffrey was placed in an attacking position on the right. Jason replaced Harold on the left, with the speedy winger sidelined through a groin injury. Zhuoneng also made his first appearance after a few weeks out of the game. A tough test was expected from the Pirates, after they experienced a good first half of their campaign. However the Sharks were now playing with a newfound confidence and took the game by the scruff of its neck early on. With Ryan and Brendan expertly marshalling the centre of midfield, the link between attack and defense was consistently present. In their very first shot on goal, the Sharks went ahead. Brendan exchanged a one-two with Jason on the edge of the area before putting Heng Li through on the left. The diminutive forward then swung in a cross which found the unmarked Brendan, who headed the ball into the top corner. The Pirates then put together a few dangerous looking forays into the Sharks’ third, but Vincent and Anuar paired up well to hold the line, leaving Mizan with only routine saves to make. Going forward, Jeffrey and Vince combined well down the right to send in cross after cross. In one such attack, Jeffrey burst past his marker to send an in-swinger to the back post. Heng Li was on hand to head it in… but somehow failed to find the target when it seemed easier to score. The striker was put through once again down the left flank, and as the goalkeeper narrowed the angle, Li chose to shoot instead of passing to his better-placed teammates. The Pirates pressed, but were constantly hit on the counter. As the ball was cleared to Issac, he laid it off to Jason, who beat a defender and advanced on the Pirates’ goal. His shot found the target, but failed to beat the keeper who showed a pair of safe hands. The second half saw Chris and Jess come on to good effect, while Li was shifted to the right. With only a few minutes into the restart, Jess made an immediate impact. Cutting past his marker, the striker unleashed a shot just outside the box, which beat the keeper at his near post. This seemed to spur the Pirates into action, who proceeded to dominate much of the attacking play. Mizan in particular needed to be sharp when he expertly tipped over a speculative long range volley. The corners rained in, with Central Park being put under pressure for much of the early proceedings. However this left space for the attackers to exploit. Li broke down the right on many occasions, but his final cross left much to be desired. He could have scored again, when he found himself with only the keeper to beat. His trademark chip was a let-down this time though, flying high and wide. The Pirates then made them pay for their wastefulness. Exchanging a number of passes in midfield, their captain found himself with the goal in sight. As the Sharks defenders scrambled to block his shot, he instead passed to an onrushing forward who blasted the ball past Mizan. Shocked out of slumber by the goal, Central Park sparked back into action. Chris didn’t let his injury last week get in the way of his heading prowess, constantly winning headers in the attacking third. The stocky winger wasn’t just good in the air though, he beat 2 players down his flank to send in a pass to Isaac. The striker only needed the faintest of touches to restore the Yellow’s two goal cushion. But this proved short lived. As the Pirates pressed, the Sharks were forced into making more mistakes in defense. Their weakness against corners showed once again, when a Pirate was left unchallenged to power a header into the back of the net. Central Park had time and space to make a few opportunities count but their passing let them down, setting up a nervy finish. However with 2 wins on the trot and 1 or 2 promising additions to the squad, 2012 looks like it could be a promising year. The manager commented after the game, 'The team are playing with renewed vigor and belief for the past couple of games. Most importantly, they are enjoying the game more and players are working for one another; clearly one of the epitomes of what the club is all about. He added, 'They clearly didn't let their head down despite the past couple of demoralising defeats. Hopefully we can build up from here to ensure a strong finish to the season. At the same time, the management would like to take this opportunity to wish the team a prosperous New Year!

Sharks were on a 4 games winless streak coming into the game and while the manager have never taken any cup matches seriously, this was probably the perfect game for his charges to start the year on a good note. The team lined up with an unfamiliar looking backline with Mizan starting at right-back while Aaron took his position in-between the post. There was no place for Heng Li on the starting line-up as the manager look towards having a physical presence upfront with Jasdeep favored to partner Isaac. The early showers in the morning made the pitch greasy with action going from one side to another. Sharks took the lead after just 18 minutes when Isaac beat the offside trap after a lovely pass from Brendan. The former could have given his team the lead earlier on but his header just missed the target by inches. The lead gave Sharks confidence to stroke the ball confidently but the final pass left much to be desired. The best opportunity for Sharks to double their lead fell to Mizan who made a good one-two exchange with Jason but his shot missed the target by miles. The second half started with several changes notably in defense as the manager opted to rest the trio of Vinc, Charlson and Mizan. The half barely kicked off when it had to be stopped abruptly after a head injury forced Chris to be substituted and sent to the hospital. That didn't seemed to dampen the Sharks spirits as Isaac double his tally and his team's lead after Brendan made an instant impact coming back into the game. Shortly afterwards, Isaac completed his hat-trick when Ryan's thru-pass found the burly striker bearing down on goal and he made no mistake from close range; with only the custodian to beat. Heng Li completed the rout when he scored the best goal of the game; a chip against the onrushing custodian after a long punt by Harold. A goal that has been the dimunitive forward trademark over the year. British Exiles didn't have an answer but they almost scored a consolation right at the end of the game after a poor backpass from Vinc put Aaron in no man's land. The manager said, 'It wasn't vintage but we managed to end the run of bad games over the past couple of months. It was a much needed win considering that morale would be affected if the bad run that we have been experiencing continues. He added, 'Chris injury wasn't as bad as we thought it was but he still needed 10 stitches from the collision. It's quite 50-50 if he would be available for this coming weekend's game.

But a dismal Sharks’ performance spelt defeat once again in the final match of the year. The lack of midfield and defensive options was telling once again, with most of the substitutes being forwards. With Vince Siow, and team captain Vincent still out of action, Shahril was recalled to the central defensive pairing with Anuar. Once again Central Park labored to string 3 passes together as the Usual Suspects’ pressed the team into giving away the ball cheaply. The Suspects by contrast were fluid in their passing and movement, looking threatening with every attack. It was no surprise therefore, when the first goal came. Shahril’s misplaced a pass which was duly intercepted by a Suspects winger. He then fed a through ball to his captain, who beat a player and slotted home at the near post. It didn’t get better for the Sharks from there. Chasing the game would always prove challenging as the Suspects’ stout defence held firm, with their midfield constantly breaking up any Shark attacks. The second goal however, came in controversial circumstances. A clearance by Anuar glanced off the Ryan’s arm, and the official didn’t hesitate to point to the spot. Central Park players protested that it was a clear ball-to-hand, but the referee waved them away. The Suspects converted for a two-goal cushion. Kelvin replaced Zhuoneng minutes before the break, and he didn’t have to wait long to make his mark. The tall fullback’s massive clearance saw Chris and Isaac both break away from their markers. The Suspects goalkeeper tried to close them down, but Chris got to the ball first, powering a header into the back of the net to narrow the deficit. The mini revival didn’t last too long though. A mistake by Shahril gave away possession in midfield, and the back line became exposed yet again. The Suspects captain broke down the right and fired in a low cross. A striker tapped it expertly into the far corner, restoring their two-goal advantage. The boys in yellow went in search of a goal with fervor after the break, but once again gave away possession far too easily to mount a serious threat. The Suspects sprayed their diagonal balls left and right, finding their wingers with almost every pass. A fourth goal for the whites didn’t look far away, and it came when their captain beat the offside trap on the right. His cross was turned away back into his path, and he made full use of his second chance to blast the ball into the far corner. The Sharks then concocted a similar move down the right, when Jess put Ian through. The speedy striker whipped in a cross which found Harold lurking on the far side. The clinical winger took his opportunity well, hitting a left footed shot past the keeper. Despite this, the Sharks hardly looked like getting back into the game. The usually excellent Mizan uncharacteristically spilled the ball on a number of occasions, giving the defense a few heart attacks. One such mistake led to the Suspects’ fifth goal. The defence was split apart when the midfield gave away the ball again. Mizan reacted quickly to close down the striker, and seemed to cut out the threat. But the burly custodian spilled the ball, presenting the forward with an easy tap in. The Sharks weren’t done and attempted to salvage some pride from the match. Chris added his second of the game, when Harold floated in a free kick that evaded the Suspects’ defence. Chris then found himself in a pocket of space to fire home for the last action of the game. Central Park’s fourth defeat in on the trot did little for the team’s morale, leaving the club mired in a relegation dogfight. The dejected manager said, 'It was barely vintage Sharks today. We are just simply not doing the simple things right and it hurts us not only in this game, but over the course of the season or dare I say the whole year.' He added, 'We just lack that fighting spirit and it's time we pull our socks up after a short break!

The Sharks seem to be fond of dropping points at First Toa Payoh Secondary School, and even the absence of their manager for their game against FC MYK did not help. Captain Vincent and Muru made their long awaited comebacks, but couldn’t provide the extra spark needed for a victory. Making it worse was the long list of defensive absentees, including Shahril, Anuar, Vince and Zhuoneng. The Japanese team once again held a vigorous pre-match warm-up by playing a mini game in their half. This however did not seem to tire them out, as they came at the Sharks with guns blazing from the first whistle. The boys in yellow did not seem to be able to handle the pressure, with MYK bursting down the flanks in numbers. Luckily they couldn’t seem to find the final pass, and most of their shots flew wide of the mark. Those that hit the target though, were expertly saved by Mizan. Then against the run of play, Central Park took the lead. A little one-two between Heng Li and Jason saw the former put through. At the edge of the box, the diminutive striker took a touch past his marker and let fly his trademark lob-shot, which deceived the MYK goalkeeper to sail into the top corner. MYK seemed even more determined after going behind, and began playing down the middle more through their skillful playmaker. The lanky midfielder cut through Central Park’s defensive barrier time and again, but somehow couldn’t seem to find the target. The Sharks, as usual, then meekly gave up their lead. Defending from corners seems a tall order for the boys in yellow of late, and this one was no exception. An MYK player leapt above his marker, to head past the hapless Ryan who was guarding the far post. Another good chance fell to Jasdeep, when Chris Lam proved his dominance in the air once again to flick a through ball into the forward’s path. But Jasdeep’s fierce drive kept rising and didn’t trouble the keeper. The Sharks were lucky to go into the break all square, as they withstood wave after wave of MYK attacks. Debutants Dennis and Omar were given their bows in the second half, ably replacing Vincent and Ryan. Muru too made his return after more than a year out. As the half progressed, most of the play became concentrated in midfield, with little action in the final third on both ends. Central Park’s best chance fell to Jason, when the excellent Brendan robbed the ball at the edge of the MYK box. Jason latched onto the loose ball, and dispatched an angled effort that fizzed a mere inch wide with the keeper well beaten. The tiring MYK were content to hit the Sharks on the counter, and the tactic paid dividends when a poor touch by Charlson put pressure on his defense. The ball rebounded into the path of a MYK winger who whipped in an early cross into the box. Dominic failed to keep his line, playing a striker onside. The skillful forward flicked the ball up past his marker, and slammed the ball past the flailing Mizan. The Sharks then poured forth in desperation, with defeat looming once again. Aaron and Heng Li had half chances, after both finding themselves in the box with pockets of space. But they failed to trouble the keeper, sending their efforts well wide. Then the hammer blow came, when Central Park once again lost possession in a dangerous position. The MYK striker was put through on goal, with only Mizan to beat. The big man in goal seemed to have forced the forward wide, but the speedster managed to hit the ball across goal, and an onrushing teammate was on hand to tap the ball into the empty net. With not half the season gone, the Sharks still have time to get out of the relegation zone. But they need to find a winning formula quickly, or else a spot in division 4 spot awaits next year. The manager who was recovering from a viral fever commented, 'We are going thru a bad patch and it's thru hard work from everyone for us to save the season.' He added, 'We just needed a little more luck and hopefully we can turn things around in the next couple of weeks before the holidays.'

However it wasn’t to be despite a battling team performance. The Sharks were lacking the services of veteran strike duo Heng Li and Isaac, allowing Jason to spearhead the attack. With Mizan returning to the side, Christopher Lam completed the front two pairing. Alfred stepped in to join Ryan in the centre of midfield. YDM got the better of the opening exchanges, displaying some fluent passing and movement that’s been a hallmark of their side. Central Park was left chasing shadows in midfield and couldn’t retain enough possession to mount a serious goal threat. Charlson faced the brunt of the YDM attacks, with much of the play coming down his flank. But the diminutive fullback contained the threat well. Tempered flared when a YDM striker caught Vince with his studs, leaving the Central Players incensed. The same forward however let his football do the talking minutes later. An innocuous long ball led Sharil to head the ball back to the onrushing Mizan. But the pass was too short, allowing the YDM attacker to reach the ball first and poke it into an empty net. The Sharks kept their heads up and managed to get back into the game. Their best opportunity of the game then fell to Christopher. Jason intercepted a careless pass by YDM, skipped past a challenge and bore down on goal. With only one defender to beat, he squared the ball to Christopher. Despite having acres of space, the burly Aussie couldn’t beat the YDM goalkeeper who got down well to save. Harold then had a couple of free kicks on the edge of the area, but both sailed wide. The next best chance fell to Brendan, when he found the ball at his feet during a goalmouth scramble. His shot however was deflected into touch. Central Park then lost key defender Vince. He bravely blocked a cross but rolled his ankle in the process, an injury bound to keep him out for a few weeks. The second half saw the Sharks gain confidence and press forward more often. YDM on the other hand seemed content to absorb the pressure and counterattack. Central Park’s pressure finally paid dividends when Harold burst down the left flank in typical fashion to fire in a low cross. This put the defence at sixes and sevens, and the ball fell to new boy Khairul who made no mistake from two yards. With things all square, the boys in yellow seemed intent to go for the win. Central Park prodigal son Chris, who returns for 3 weeks, was next to let a chance go begging. After being put through on goal, the winger blasted the ball past the hapless YDM keeper… only to see it rebound off the post. Harold reacted quickest to the loose ball and unleashed a full-blooded volley destined for the back of the net. But as luck, or bad luck rather, would have it, Khairul stood in the way of the shot and saved YDM from a certain goal. As the Sharks pressed forward, they inevitable left gaps at the back, which the pacy YDM forwards, were quick to exploit. One breakthrough found the winger one on one with Charlson. The fullback was unable to stop the speedster though and he raced through on goal. Without breaking a step, the striker let fly a near-post shot which beat Mizan and bulged the back of the net against the run of play. It went down hill from there for Central Park. The striker was put through once again, and Mizan had little choice but to bring him down. Luckily it was at the edge of the penalty area, and the big man was only given a yellow. But this was soon a moot point, when a desperate back-pass from Harold was chased down by the same YDM forward. Not able to handle the ball, Mizan challenged for the header, only for the referee to blow for a contentious penalty. YDM then converted to complete a miserable afternoon for the Sharks. The manager commented, 'We blew our chances in front of goal today. We had at least 3 chances that could have found the back on the net but we were wasteful. The opponents on the other hand had 3 and they took all of it.' He added, 'We are just not taking our chances in front of goal and this was a problem about 2-3 seasons ago when we just seem to have a quality forward that can bang in the goals at will. Hopefully we can sort this out.' The comments by the manager coincides with the club's top scorer Heng Li who have been a pale shadow of himself in front of goal. The club's all-time top-scorer have only found the net a miserable 3 occasions in 27 games this year.
