Protectors Crash Out After Mauling In Hong Kong!

Home United FC's season has reached another low point, after they crash out of the AFC Cup tonight at the hands of Hong Kong Champions South China FC. The result was an embarassing 0-4. This was Home United's heaviest defeat in years.

South China FC scored two quick-fire goals within minutes to enter half-time 2-0 and thereafter added another two goals after the restart to send Protectors crashing out!

Home United FC will now head back and focus all their attentions on the domestic front. After this heavy defeat, they will need to rebound fast as they visit S-League leaders Gombak United FC at the Jurong West Stadium.

Protectors Struggles To 3rd In League Cup

Home United FC finished 3rd in this year's League Cup after a disappointing penalty shoot-out win over a depleted Woodlands Wellington FC. The match ended 2-2 after 90 minutes and the match went straight into penalties where Home United triumphed 4-2.

Head Coach PN Sivaji recalled his big name players for this match, with a view to give them some match action before travelling out to Hong Kong for their AFC Cup match against South China FC. Captain S.Subramani, Lionel Lewis, Sharil Ishak, Shi Jiayi, Syed Fadhil, Rosman Sulaiman, Juma'at Jantan and Peres De Oliveira all started the match. Their inclusion meant the dynamic bunch of Firdaus Idros, Naruphol Ar-Romsawa, Azhar Sairudin and Shadan Sulaiman, all miss out.

On the contrary, Woodlands Wellington Head Coach Nenad Bacina called up three unknown Prime League players into his starting lineup. He was missing 5 first teamers due to suspension. Topscorer and livewire Jamil Ali was also left on the bench.

Home United's first teamers struggled to impose themselves against the make shift Rams and to the fans disapoointment, they could only draw 2-2.

Luckily for the Protectors, the penalty takers held their nerves and clinched 3rd place and with it a $5000 prize money!

Winning Run Halted - Protectors Out Of Final !

Home United FC's strong run in this year's League Cup has been abruptly ended by arch rivals SAFFC. The semi-final match-up against a tiring SAFFC, who had Therdsak Chaiman missing with injury, presented Home United FC with a great chance to land a piece of silverware.

Home United FC has been on a barren run since 2005, failing to win a single silverware.

In the end, the experience of SAFFC on the night counted. SAFFC sat back and allowed Home United plenty of possession. SAFFC moved up a gear with half hour left and they duly punished our Protectors with goals from Park Tae Won and Aleksander Duric.

Home United FC will now aim to win their 3rd/4th placing match against Woodlands Wellington FC. It should not prove too difficult, given the number of quality players Home United has in its ranks.

Protectors Marches On !

Home United FC marches on in this year's League Cup after a 3-2 win over defending champions Gombak United FC at the Jalan Besar Stadium tonight.

Head coach PN Sivaji chose to keep the same set of players who have so far excelled in this competition. The reserves once again did not disappoint and put up another impressive performance against the current S-League leaders.

Goals from Valery Heik, Azhar Sairudin and Naruphol Ar-Romsawa ensured a semi-final spot. In the semi-finals, Home United will face either Tampines Rovers FC or SAFFC.

Protectors In League Cup Quarter-Finals !!!

With a semi-final place at stake, will Head Coach PN Sivaji recall his big guns or stick with the same bunch?

Fortress Clementi !
