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.

when is the a div finals?
who are the two players that helped ac to the semi finals?!
heys. please make this amendment.
aliff, from Millennia Institute, his jersey no. is #15. not #7. there cant possibly be 2 people wearing the same jersey with the same number right? 😉
his position right though. :))
thx! 🙂
yall dun be so childish la.wats the point of arguing here if any of yall wun even be playing.let the players play their game and after that we judge how does each team performs.k?
whatever it is, i think that if not for 1 or 2 player’s brilliance, acjc would not even be in the semis. everybody else in their team are just average players that can run. it wouldn’t take much to take them out.
Can someone provide neutral views on ACJC Adiv soccer.I have’nt seen them played before.How they fared as compared to VJC,SAJC n MJC in terms of technical skill, physique and teamwork
fan: i think we watching different acjc, their forwards only look 1.70 m in ht with probably 60kg of mass, is that humungous?
lol..my favourite A DIV players are mj’s 23 and mi’s 10..both are exiciting to watch..and also vjc’s no13 who si really solid:)
Ac qualified for semis because they were in a easier group.their only real challenge was sajc..im sure hci and mi can beat acjc if they were in grp a..lol..and acjc play by just pumping long balls up to their two physically humungous forwards.thats all.soo boring man.
i guess many people are rallying votes and i can see fierce stocks battling up there @ 1st 11.
haha thats not the point la SOCCER ….why would i want to pick on any schools? if they are not good then maybe one or two players will appear here..but if AC IS NOT GOOD WHY THE HELL ARE THEIR ENTIRE TEAM PLUS SUB BENCH THERE? should we vote coach and principal too?
at least ac’s better than the others who didnt manage to get into the semis
go pick on other schools
winning 7 games in a row DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE GOOD IT MEANS YOU ARE CONSISTENT…a very good example of consistency is chelsea.and johnnie, in case if its the first time you ever watched or played soccer, so what if nj and rj have good players? can 1 person win the entire game on his own? its a whole team effort in case you did not know.. so yes i applaude acjc soccer for consistency and overall team dynamics BUT I STILL AGREE with hardcorefan. although vj probably wont thrash acjc because acjc wont go down without a fight….and for T^2 maybe whay acjc soccer seems so awesome to you is because you’ve never watched other teams play?
i think acjc have quality players despite only 2 appeals and no dsa. and i can be seen with their wins over respectful teams such as njc and rjc as mentioned by jonnie. they have good discipline as well, i think the only way to judge them is to go watch their matches.
the fact that ac is in the semi’s does show that they can play. u cant win 7 matches all by luck u noe? well, u can if other team cant play at all. but njc and rjc are known to have a few good players. and ac did beat them. i definately think that shows smth. even if they don’t produce results against vj, i thinks its understandable as they dont have any dsa’s. only 2 appeals and in total, only have 5 players that have played in B div. it’ll be a total joke if vj fails though. they have dsa’s, appeals and are known to be the power house for soccer. and to whoever hardcorefan is, i think u should think before u type. use your brain.
VJC seems to be tipped to win the semis against acjc..maybe ac went to semis also by luck…but wat about vjc?they have a good fitness i heard?
hmm.. if i’m not wrong #30 from Meridian Junior College is Ikwan. If that’s not him, i think he ought to be in the poll too =))
hey hardcorefan,
pls get ur facts right alright?! watch the soccer that ACJC SOCCER play! they how good, they deserve to be in the semis and are good to win it!
GO AC SOCCERR!!
haha jonah
go ac!
sweeping statement hardcorefan. LETS GO ACJ SOCCER!
