The 6-pack Chronicle

Every team has a beginning.

As much as we should be interested in

the present

and the future,

we ought to know of our past and how this team came about.

Anyway, 6-pack almost did not happen at all due to financing difficulties but thanx to the SRC Ladies Captain, Mingli, who came to the rescue and toiled hard to find the funding for this team to exist. Therefore, we owe the Ladies a big gratitute. Should there come a time when our assistance is rendered (be it a fun-raising or rugby event), please kindly help them up for it is no small feat to raise the amount of $880

The Beginning:

The team started with a humble 6-8 guys playing in the mixed SRC team. For a virgin mixed touch team, we did extremely well, running through every oppo and securing no less than a 2nd place, behind one of the most dominating team in the National Touch League.

The idea of a Men's team came about right after the NTL league itself. For the guys to get as much exposure as the ladies and increase the playing standard/experience, we need to have a Men's Team in the League. Furthermore, it is about time that Wanderers' dominance at all categories must be ended. And with their players aging at a rapid rate, the takeover must be done soon before they have any excuses of being old and out of 'touch'. Plus, the SRC ladies could use a sparring team during training.

Unfortunately, 6-8 guys shrank to 5..... 1 left to Iraq, 1 had to teach and 1 is playing for Bucks for Men's ...

The 5

Jielun (the founder of this team) for it is him who called ppl up and get me interested in playing,
Alan, who somehow finds his way to Yio Chu Kang stadium from Dover by bicycle for his 1st training, therefore no excuse to turn him down,
Xiang-junn, who was looking forward to competitive Touch or perhaps he was just looking forward to touching girls,
Dennis, who watched us in a game, was impressed by our team and decided to join up
Leander, who just wanna play

The Recruiment:

5 definitely cannot form a Men's team...so...hoping more guys would join us....

....weekly Touch Friendlies we had....

vs Republic Poly,

vs Temasek Poly,

vs Ngee Ann Poly,

vs some Indian National Team,

vs Eusoff Hall.....

...from then....

5

A potential Touch Rugby Champ team in time to come
