RAIN UNITED UPDATES
It has been more than 3 weeks since RAIN United last played our football together. While the Teck Whye pitch will be closed for 2 months mainteinance, I hope everyone is well and had had a good break. May I also wish our junior boys all the very best in their examinations.
While we are going through some restructuring to our team, it has been encouraging to see new friends expressing their interest to join us. A big thank you to some of the RAIN United members and those who have made effort in keeping tabs with training interest.
For some who have went along with me to play football as guests players, I believed you have noted the difference in your own abilities; playing football with the right positiveness, the winning attitude. You have demonstrated character in establishing your communications and ethical approached for yourself. Also, do keep up with your time punctuality and the believe in your adequate warm-ups and in understanding what basic football play is all about. You have spoken with your actions in your football play on the pitch; which have does makes the difference. The comments were complimented by the match officials, opponents and the friends.
HONG KONG KOWLOON vs RAIN UNITED
It was enlightening to see the overwhelming responsed from all the members when I sent a text to invite interests on our game this Sunday. Let us take this game to work on our match fitness against the Essex team on 7th October.
The Hong Kong Kowloon team, which was formed over the last couple of years together with the artificial pitch, would give us the opportunity to stretch ourselves to the limit, especially after the 3 weeks break away from football. I am expecting all players to be properly geared and be punctual for team formalities.
The players for the game are as follows :-
Nelson
Jeremy
Kazi
Lloyd
Thit Lwin
Bee
Long
Pako
Jia He
Randy
Bernard
Kelvin
Anthony
Shaun
AD

ESSEX (OBA) vs RAIN UNITED
All RAIN United Members and friends are invited to the Tampines clubhouse after the match for a get together to celebrate our team's 3rd anniversary.
For those who are bringing their kids along, we have also booked the artificial street soccer pitch for them to play with the Essex kids team.
Thanks to the Manchester United vs Chelsea game and with special thanks to Kazi, the beers would be exceptionally sweet on this day. Kazi will be bringing the referee for that derby game along too..................Let's see how the game between Essex and RAIN United fares. On current, we are tie at 1 win a piece on record. Chris and Kok Fann have been pressing for the returned match since we last met. They have been training very hard.
THE RAIN UNITED FORMULA
In a football match, sometimes we have to build in our mentality, that we have to play against 10, 12 or 13 men. Match officials do made mistakes; right or wrong. They are human and so are we. Never challenged in the decisions that they have made during the game. Instead, we should stay focused in our game and work on the "winning attitude"; to improve ourselves. Never stop learning. Be true and honest to our good selves.
If you understand your own weaknesses and is acceptable to changes to overcome it with your strengths, work on the right way. Though it may be in bits, that's the winning attitude. Never think that it is too late. Its is always better to be late than never. That's the formula in RAIN United. It has done well for me in both work and sports.
Cheers
