The Rams Roar (!)
It's not often fans of Woodlands Wellington have a positive run of results to celebrate but their 1-0 triumph last night over Albirex Niigata made it four games unbeaten for the bleaters from the Causeway.
Their run began with a 1-1 draw away to Warriors. In days gone by this clash had the makings of being a good old fashioned grudge match but they don't like that kind of thing in Singapore so the bad feeling was nipped in the bud.
The Warriors are struggling to recapture the glory of the SAFFC days and they needed a late equaliser from Inui Tatsuro to earn a point after Woodlands had taken the lead through Atsushi Shimono.
Their next success also came on their travels when an injury time own goal from Meng Meng Lau gave them three points at Hougang Stadium in a fixture I must admit even I would have thought twice about attending once having seen Sengkang Punggoll and Woodlands play out a yawn draw at the same stadium. That was so bad I fell asleep for a bit and dreamt about Mabel serving beer on roller blades wearing a dolphin head.
In the first week of July DPMM came to the Woodlands stadium and were tonked by the memorable score of 5-2, words usually you only ever in that part of town when asking the time of the next bus.
Funny thing is the Brunei team were 2-0 up after 17 minutes with goals from, deep breath, Joao Vitor Rocha Da Cavalho Moreira and Antonio Tosi Rodriguo. Now I am no cunning linguist let's be honest but them two names? They don't sound too Bruneian to me.
Woodlands responded with Thai import Theerawekin Seehawong scoring twice as did Jo Yoon Chang while Soon Ho Moon netted to make it a fun evening way up north.
It was Soon Ho Moon who scored again last night to collect the points away to Albirex meaning Woodlands last eight goals have come from foreign players!
The run moves the Rams up the table to the giddy heights of 5th.
5 - Woodlands Wellington 17 7 5 5 23-20 26
6 - Soon Ho Moon
5 - Jo Yoon Chang
4 - Khalid Hamdouai
UPDATE - should of course be Jalan Besar for the DPMM game, thanks for the heads up!
