- S.League - Balestier 1-1 Gombak 4/3/11
6400 is something you cant avoid when you are shooting at Toa Payoh Stadium.
There has been a wonderful freshness to the SLeague in its opening weeks as teams like Hougang
United and Balestier Khalsa have flirted with the top positions but the weekend just gone has shown
the traditional big boys flexing their muscles and how.
Tampines won the title last year, confirming the triumph with a 5-0 rout of Balestier
Khalsa.

After weeks of speculation within the local football fraternity, former Gombak United coach Darren
Stewart (file pictured right) is confirmed as Balestier Khalsa coach for the upcoming 2012
season.
A former Australian international himself, Stewart starred for the Tigers when they were still
called Balestier Central in the S.
I'm not sure if anyone of you out there notice this scenario since the early days of the S.League
that there are these two clubs been "close trading partners".
It's not uncommon to see players of this particular club swapping jerseys for another particular
side after a season or two that in recent years seems to have intensified.

Defending champions Bangkok Glass confirmed the earlier quibbles of not coming back to defend the
RHB Singapore Cup they won last year, while last season's runners-up Tampines Rovers will face
Geylang United in a "eastern derby" showdown.
In a joint press release statement by scouting agency, Trebol Sports International (TSI) and their
working partners, Football Management International (FMI) had announced the following player,
Scottish defender Graham Tatters (pictured above, courtesy of Flickr) had signed for Woodlands
Wellington.
The good news is the SLeague fixtures are out. The bad news, for fans looking for a game to go to
on a Saturday night, which is probably just me, is there aren't many.

article last month) to come up with his list of players to fill up the vacuum after the disband of
the Singapore National Team.
Many thanks to Mr Neo for sharing his views on this issue.
Potential Players with Merits to be selected for Singapore National Squad.
