Touch Attack Episode 1- Introducing The Fresh Faces

Normally you would think that I would start part 1 of this trilogy with a not so subtle self-praise remark, a Gaydeon joke and a wise crack about Yum's intelligence to boot. However for your reading pleasure, I've decided to part with tradition and introduce to the world of touch, 2 up and coming players who helped both SRC teams make the final of the NTU Touch Attack.

Azlina

Age : 21

Occupation : Student

Playing History : Tp Piranhas(Captain)(Pol-Ite Champions), Alan Keys(NTU Touch Attack 2007 Champions)

First, we bring to you. Azlina. The star captain for Tp made her debut for Alan Keys last saturday and turned in an awesome overall tournament performance.

Despite, stunning the most proud(Yum) with her lightning quick dive and burning the most embarrassed with her incredible speed, she managed to endure the whole length of games and carry on without a single complaint at the lack of subs. A rumour has started that she might be drafted into 6pack next season. She will definitely give Kenny a run for his money.

Daniel "Potato" Thiam

Age: 25

Occupation: Unemployed or still Student ar?

Playing History : Singapore Reds, Saints, NTU, Khairage Under Fire(NTU Touch Attack 2007 Runners-Up)

Thiam or affectionately known as "Potato" has been a regular fixture in the National Squad. Despite his many failings in his many attempts at touch rugby, Thiam jumped at the chance to play with his former school mates Khairul and Gideon. It is not known how Gideon got Thiam to play in his team. Said Thiam, 25 before the tournament started " Wah lau, I skipped National Team's Fitness Training today. So that I will be well rested and ready to go in this tournament. Finally my chance to win something in touch."

Thiam's sporadic game time managed to drag Khairage Under Fire to an Insipid performance against Bedok in the semis. However his "Hiding Behind People" antics in the final leaves alot to be desired.

It might be wishful thinking, but we here in the 6pack Times hope that this will not be the end of "Potato's" Touch Rugby Career. Have we seen the end of this colourful character?

Stay Tuned when the 6pack editors come up with a not so partial Episode 2 of the NTU Touch Attack Report. Probably when I come back from KL la. So Jangan Tension.
