Sun keeps appearing on and off behind the clouds, lots of photos went overexposed.
Here are some shots I managed to 'save'.
Note: Captions might be wrong as never really follow the match that closely. :embrass:

#1 - TP 1's #7 (blue) holds on to the ball despite under pressure from the player of Redtide 2

#2 - Players from TP 1 (blue) and Redtide 2 (red) battling for the ball

#3 - SP 1's #2 (blue) battles the ball with a player from NP Pongkies (red)

#4 - Redtide 2 #2 (red) tries to shoot towards the heavily defended NUS 4's goal

Hope I don't get hated for making this comment:

Cropped tightly, it looked as if the blue No. 5 was going to receive a kiss from the yellow No. 5. :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

I was referring to Pic #5, btw.

Receiving a kiss will definitely be a funny one, but I always go for real 'action'.
Will try to go for some candid "actions" next time. Thanks for the suggestion. :bsmilie:
