Gosnells City FC proudly hosted a game with the Masters team from Singapore for the very first time at Walter Padbury Reserve on Sunday 24 April against our newly formed 55’s team.

Gosnells started brightly scoring the two goals in the first half, before Singapore came back into the game and scored a goal of their own early in the second half to make things interesting. The match was very even afterwards with both teams creating good chances but not making them count, until Gosnells finally settled the game with their third goal towards the end of the match.

So 3-1 to Gosnells in this inaugural match, but more importantly, a new international relationship formed that will definitely flourish in the future as more games are played between our two clubs. Talks are already in place for a return match in Singapore later on this year, which we are all looking forward to now that international travel has commenced once again in WA.

Special thanks to Bill and Ju Kuang Tan from the Singapore team for organising this game and assembling both teams and players. Also to Darrell for managing the team and arranging the commemorative polo shirts, Andy for collecting contributions to pay for the food and drinks afterwards and to Victor who kindly volunteered to referee this match.

Also, a big thank you to Dawn who once again put on a superb banquet for our mutual enjoyment, and to Sue and Steve for serving behind the bar and Dean for organising the Clubrooms and donating a signed Club shirt and football.

As can be seen from the photo, it was a glorious

day for football, and I’m sure that all the Singapore

visitors were very impressed with our hospitality

and friendship, as another successful venture was

launched.    Thank you again to all those involved.
