Cup Aspirations Starts With Visit To Balestier Khalsa FC


Home United FC begins its quest for the Singapore Cup Trophy with a visit to neighbours Balestier Khalsa FC. In this David vs Goliath clash, Home United can ill afford any slip ups.

Home United comes into this match on another league loss. This time they lost to Super Reds FC 0-1 at the Yishun Stadium. This is not the first time Home United has struggled at the offensive end with other 1-0 defeats to Young Lions and Geylang United recently.

The pressure is mounting on the star studded Protectors, who recently signed another National Player in Isa Halim. Isa had completed his stint with Young Lions and due to return to parent club Woodlands Wellington FC, but Home United quickly snapped him up. Isa made his debut in Home United's latest league loss last Saturday. Boasting one of the strongest squads, Home United should win this tie against the youthful Balestier Khalsa, who honestly lacked quality.

Can Balestier Khalsa cause the biggest upset in this year's competition ?

No chance! A convincing victory and Home United to progress to the next round!

Early Goals Blitz Visiting Club Valencia !


Early goals from Firdaus Idros and Peres De Oliveira set Home United FC on the way to a big win over the visiting Club Valencia from Maldives in last night's AFC Cup encounter.


Barely two minutes after kick-off, Firdaus Idros reacted quickest when Fadzuhasny Juraimi's shot smashed the bar to give Home United the early advantage. As Club Valencia were hoping to accustom themselves to the artificial pitch of Jalan Besar Stadium in the early minutes, Home United punished them with two quick-fire goals. The second was scored by Peres De Oliveira, whose pin-point header found the bottom left corner.


Thereafter, Home United were cruising at top speed, attacking Club Valencia relentlessly. Their efforts paid off with another two goals coming from Kengne Ludovick and Juma'at Jantan. Kengne Ludovick's goal was a beauty. Peres laid the ball across the edge of the penalty box and Ludovick smashed a low shot into the bottom left corner. Valencia custodian had no chance to save the well placed shot.


Coming into the seocnd half four goals to the good, Peres was replaced by Shi Jiayi. Home United struggled to repeat their first half performance. Club Valencia gave a better second half account, creating plenty of chances but could only score a consolation through Marcelin Nkmeni.


With this win, Home United FC tops Group H ahead of Binh Duong and PEA, who drew 1-1 in an earlier match.


Home United's next enocunter will be a trip to Vietnam to face Becamex Binh Duong FC.

Protectors, Where's The Fire?

Home United FC fell to their fourth loss of the season after another blank in front of goal. Our Protectors lost 0-1 last night at the Bedok Stadium to another struggling team, Geylang United FC.

The only goal of the match was scored by Young Englishman Llyod Butler in the 67th minute.
Home United failed to convert their chances and were duly made to pay.

With eight matches played, Home United fell ten points behind leaders SAFFC and DPMM FC. Hopes of landing the S-League title are fast diminishing as current Champions SAFFC are having things easy in the league, with a recent 7-1 thumping of Sengkang Punggol FC.

Home United FC next plays bottom table Sengkang Punggol FC this Wednesday at the Clementi Stadium. Nothing less than a win will be acceptable to our Home United faithful.

Come on Protectors, lets ignite the fire !!!

Super "Nori" blazes Woodlands Wellington FC


Second half substitute, Japanese Norikazu Murakami came on with all guns blazing as he sent Woodlands Wellington packing with a superb hat-trick. Making his home debut at the Clementi Stadium, Super "Nori" was on fire ! He could have scored more if not for the intervention of the cross bar and Woodlands custodian Rezal Hassan. On another positive note, Kengne Ludoivck ended his goal drought when he scored Home United's fourth on the stroke of fulltime.


Woodlands Wellington FC struggled throughout. Unable to keep possession, they were always under siege and it was a matter of time before the floodgates open. The match ended 4-0 but it really could have been much more had Home United gobbled up all the chances they created.
