The Team Formed: 1990, ACJC

The Dragonfly Football Club was formed in 1990 by 6 aspiring students from the Anglo Chinese Junior College, who apart from studying "hard", were drawn together by their passion for soccer, in particular, court soccer. Other than Bernard, the rest were already playing good high level soccer even during their Fairfield Methodist days.

The name of the club evolves from the fact that all the players, at one time or another, wore the Dragonfly brand school shoes. Although just a simple pair of school shoes, it was extremely comfortable to the feet and its side grooves provided excellent control. Through the many matches played, the shoes proved their worth and as a tribute, the players decided to name the team after the same name. The players has of course gone on to use other more sophisicated and expensive shoes, but the Dragonfly name will always serve as a reminder of the humble and simple beginings of the club.

Over the last 11 years, the club has played hundreds of games and has played with different teams comprising of players from all ages and nationalities. The number of matches played however has been reduced significantly over the last 2-3 years as it has become hard to find worthy opponents. As each player also holds a full time job, it is also difficult to organise games with short notices.

Through the years, the club has also imported foreign talents along the way. One such talent was a player called Swee Yam, who impressed the team during his short trial. However when the contract was finally offered to him, he snubbed the lucrative deal of 10 bananas a season for a boring, low paying pilot job. Other notable guest players include, JianCong, Joo Yang and Marcus who stand in for the "zoo loving" Simon in the most recent game.

In recent games against arch-rivals Butterflies, the club has been consistently winning hands down.

The club has come a long way over the last 11 years, going through tough times and good. Though no longer the young vibrant team that it used to be, its strong spirit of friendship, drive and common identity in Christ has grown much stronger.

Joseph Leow Striker, 33, Self Employed
A prolific striker with a proven track record, Joseph's ball skills and eye for goal has dazzled many and is a constant thorn in the flesh of opposing players. His consistent form is probably one of the main reasons for the club's success all these years. A natural clown, he is also the captain and manager of the club.

Marcus Chua Attacking Midfielder, 32, IBM
The midfield general of the team. This ex-commando is basically the engine behind the team. Lethal in attack, stout in defence, he is easily the fittest member in the team. On the pitch, he is always in the thick of the action. Was formerly the manager of the club, but stepped down due to some disagreement over banana payments.

Bernard Gan Midfield, 32, Property
Playing on the left, this dribbling wizard would often leave his opponents and sometimes teammates in his wake as he dribbles from defence to attack to score. So intense is his dribbling that he would sometimes even dribble to the next court without knowing. Packs a powerful left foot that would terrorize opposing defence when he ramps the ball.

Irwin Wong Defensive Midfield, 32, Singapore Technologies
One of the most versatile player in the team, simply because he injures very easily and is very prone to leg cramps. Hence he would switch play position according to the extent of his injury. On a good day however, he forms an effective partnership with Marcus in midfield and supplies important passes to Joseph to finish them off. This "cramp king" is also the webmaster of the site.

Simon Tham Defender, 32, Property
The joker of the team. His timely jibes and corny remarks bring much freshness and laughter on and off the pitch. The biggest laughter would often be when the joke is on himself. Usually plays in defence, but is equally comfortable going up to support in attack. He is also the sensitive new age guy of the group…a lot of "feelings" in this man.

Ong Chin Hwee Defender, 32, DBS
This tall, lanky defender is literally the defence pillar of the team as he is very often the "last man standing" when the rest of his teammates can't make it back to defend on time. Strong in the air, he has also popped in to score couple of goals from his head. Chin Hwee is currently busy preparing for his coming wedding in October.
