Hope United

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to our boys for winning the First Fruit Festival Soccer Tournament! 2 amazing weekends of soccer, and today was the day we bring back the trophy! The boys dominated through the tournament, winning their first game 6-0 against Preh Soe Lah and their second game 1-0 against We Are One, which got us into the grand final. In the grand final we were down 2-0 but made a great comeback to make it 2-2 which then lead to penalty shootout. The penalty shootout was nerve wrecking , but our keeper Eh Mwee was ON FIRE, making 2 incredible saves! And then Kho Kho kicked the winning penalty, sealing the win for us! The team refused to give up and fought till the end, which was amazing to see!

Huge shoutout to Eh Mwee for taking home the Best Keeper award! A fantastic achievement for Eh Mwee, who played his first game in 2023. This tournament was his 4th game, and he's already taking home his first Best Keeper award! Massive congrats, Eh Mwee!

And a huge congrats to SharSay for winning the Top Goal Scorer award! A fantastic achievement for SharSay, who's been playing with Hope United since 2021. This is his 4th year playing for us, and him winning his first Top Goal Scorer award! We're so proud of him!

Thank you to all the teams that played against us, thanks for the great games and sportsmanship! You guys put up a great fight against us and it was a match to remember!
