RULANG CELEBRATE FIRST WIN AS ACOLYTES AND CHIN SHARE THE SPOILS

Week 4 of the Sunday Premier League may have seen one match washed out, but the action on the pitch was anything but dull. With six of the eight Division 1 teams scheduled to play, only two games went ahead after the clash between RTSBFC and That Team was postponed due to bad weather. Still, there was no shortage of drama and talking points. At Clementi Secondary School, Rulang FC finally found their groove, securing their first victory of the season in emphatic style with a 5–1 win over Seletar Celtic. After back-to-back defeats, Rulang looked determined to make a statement and raced to a 2–0 lead by half-time. The goals kept coming after the break, with Musafar Ali, Aryan Putra, Noor Ilfan Syadudin, Lutfi Bhari and Danial Anaqi all finding the net in a commanding team performance. S. Dinesh managed to pull one back for Seletar Celtic in the 65th minute, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation. Both sides agreed that Jordan Koh of Seletar Celtic deserved the Man of the Match award for his tireless display despite being on the losing end. Over at another venue, Acolytes FC and Chin FC played out a tightly contested 1–1 draw that could have gone either way. The match was evenly balanced in the first half, with both sides cancelling each other out through disciplined defending and composed possession play. The deadlock was finally broken in the 42nd minute when Lallungmuana gave Chin FC the lead, slotting calmly past the keeper. But just when it seemed Chin would take all three points, Muhammad Fadhli struck late for Acolytes, equalising five minutes from time to secure a well-earned draw. It was a week that reminded fans why Division 1 is never short of excitement, with goals, grit and last-minute drama all on display.
