Valiant display but defeat nonetheless

8 August 09, SINGAPORE: The SVHA produced a valiant display in their SHL Division 2 match against hot favourites SRC. Goalless at half time the game was poised to finish under tensed circumstances and it did true to form.

Pegged back for most of the game, SVHA were determined not to hand SRC the advanatge, but last season's league champions were not to be denied and they scorded 10 minutes into the second half when Farlegh Clarke was the fastest to react to the rebound off SRC's penalty corner.

But SVHA could have restored parity when George Edward set up Ganesha Periasamy two minutes after going down. The latter only had the task of pushing the ball into an empty net but he missed when his fierce shot flew past the post.

Dejected the SVHAn s coulc not hold any longer and Nordin Manaf self-passed a free hit inside the SVHA defensive quarter past an inalert Mike Barton and finished intelligently with a squeeze shot.

The SRC barrage continued but no more goals at either end menat SVHA have got lots of work to do if they are to make the semi-finals.
