RedSportsXI
POLLS CLOSED MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, MAY 23.
Hi football fans and players,
The poll is over and before we get into the best 11 players, I must add that this poll is the most popular on Red Sports so far. As with all reader-generated polls, controversy abounds. Some have said the top 11 are not the best and are just a reflection of their popularity in school and mobilisation efforts by their friends. Well, so be it. No poll is perfect and if the best 11 were just picked by me and a couple of coaches, what’s the fun in that yeah? I’d rather let you guys do the picking.
So, here’s the RedSportsXI based on the votes:
Pierson Ang (#20, goalkeeper, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Adam Yuu Douglas (#26, defender, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Khairil (#23, defender, Meridian JC)
Gavin Lee (#13, defender, Victoria JC)
Fazli (#7, right-back, Meridian JC)
Mohamed Aswad (#10, midfielder, Millenia Institute)
Mahdi (#23, midfielder, Meridian JC)
Nathaniel (#12, centre midfielder, St Andrew’s JC)
Muhd Afrizal (#19, left winger, Jurong JC)
Alex (#10, striker, Victoria JC)
Chong Kuo Loon (#17, striker, St Andrew's JC)
So six schools have representatives on the RedSportsXI team. I think that’s a nice spread of schools and shows that no school has succeeded in spamming the poll in any great way. It also shows that there is talent spread out across the schools, players whose skills have impressed a wider selection of readers.
Out of curiosity, I decided I would list the next 11 players by vote. So here they are:
Alfred Yue (#1, GOALKEEPER, Jurong JC)
Lim Jun Liang (#5, defender, Victoria JC)
Matthew, (#3, defender, Meridian JC)
Warrick Wee (#7, right-back, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Luo Yu Kai (#18, centre-back, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Cedric Goh (#8, centre midfielder, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Nicholas Kang (#17, left winger, Victoria JC)
Jeremy Ong (#2, midfielder, St Andrew's JC)
Chester Lum (#16, midfielder, Victoria JC)
Anders Aplin (#9, striker, Victoria JC)
Daniel Kao (#14, striker, Anglo-Chinese JC)
If anyone can tell me what position Irwin Goh (#14, position?, St Andrew's JC) plays, he might warrant a position in the second RedSportsXI. I’ve left him out in the meantime because I don’t have that information.
So there you have it, the two best teams at A Division level according to the readers. Now, I don’t know about you, but I would pay good money to watch these two teams play. And if got to pick my players, I would add someone like Augustus Set (#7, midfielder) of St Andrew’s in my team cos that guy plays beautiful football. Augustus was a very late addition in the poll because he wasn’t nominated early by readers.
Although I only got to watch the semi-finals of the A Division, I was struck by the level of skill on display. It was a joy to watch. Also what was missing was all the nonsense you see from the English Premier League – diving, trying to get opponents sent off, arguing with the referee. Most players conducted themselves with decorum, dignity and manliness. My hats off to you.
So now, if you guys really want to watch RedSportsXI (A) vs RedSportsXI (B), and the players really want to play that game, hey, let me know. Maybe we can form a committee with 3 to 4 people and get this executed. I’m not doing this alone, that’s for sure!
Red Sports. Always Game.

Total Voters: 1,332
they were not nominated and so weren’t included. All names you see here were nominated. I can include their names if you are suggesting we do.
how does the voting system works…why is it that some players name i wanted to vote for cannot be found??
where is harrison #25 and Kok yao #10 i thought they are the 2 best striker of JJC
Once you have voted, you cannot vote again. The poll disappears and what you will see are only the results.
heyyyyyyy ppl how 2 vote sia??? cannot find the poll liao!!
To Alex Fan – I have no reason to doubt that the there is something wrong with the polling code. Let’s give it a few days? His numbers will go up, I am sure, as more people vote for him. I’ve used this polling code for the netball, volleyball, basketball and picture of the year contests and so far, it’s ok.
As for dunga’s query, the top 11 by POSITION will make up the 4-4-2 formation.
uncle les, what will the format be like at the end of the voting period? will u be doing a 4-4-2 formation and then place the names to the position? or will the top 11 be mostly strikers?
I voted only once but I’ve asked about 10 other friends to vote at the same time. and I don’t see any increase in Alex’s number of votes.That’s why I was wondering.
The vote is being done automatically by the code. There is no human error possible.
Once you have voted, there is no way to vote again.
how come before and after 10 ppl voted the result for Alex is still 45?

Park from JJC is Park Wonil not Park Won ll.
there is no Jian He #8 frm jjc boys soccer team. #8 of JJC is Chan Peng Xiang.
Ian’s number is not 16, its 24..

I’ve changed all accordingly.
Vote for Alex and come down to VJC to watch his excellent performance. 🙂
I’m not sure I understand your question but let me explain.
You can check off against a maximum 11 players’ names.
You then click submit.
If you check off only, say, 5 names, then submit your vote, the server will lock you out and you can’t come back tomorrow and vote again.
are we allowed to vote more than once?
#7 of RJC is Siddiq Poh
and Junliang doesnt play for RJC anymore. Plays in prime league for Geylang Utd Res i heard.
Alex is the best!!!
watching his game makes me feel inspired….
his spirit of keep on trying and never give up certainly will make you more brave in facing all the obsticles…..
Fazli (#7, position?, Meridian JC) and unnamed (#7, right-back, Meridian JC)
