ohyea, and in picture 8#, the ri player swimming towards the ball is jeremy chee.
very nice pictures here 🙂
sajc no2 should be howe yong
ok thanks for the info, will go change it.
the names are a little erroneous… #4 is david lee, #7 is kun yang, #8 is marcus lee
the ri goalie is lee kai yu,
ri no7 is kun yang,
person blocking in photo 11 is irshah,
jianying is the ri player defending in photo 7,
wei shen is defending in photo 5.
oh and the caption of photo 2 is wrong i think (in my opinion) because in that situation it would either be a man ejection foul, or at the very least it is a foul on shang cong, so the caption is not indicative of what is happening.
