Social Frees 1-3 Sparrow
Sparrow achieved its first win over Social Frees in the 5th edition of the Social Frees-Sparrow series thus enabling its outgoing manager, Chan Howe Whye, to salvage some measure of pride. Sparrow had been improving rapidly under Chan who had diligently arranged for them to have a constant stream of matches translating to a match nearly every alternate Saturday. In fact, it would have been a professional injustice if Sparrow hadn't won as they were already more organised and stronger, and should have won an earlier 4th match up if luck had not deserted them in favour of the Social Frees.
There was no shame in defeat as the Social Frees continues its policy of promoting equality among players with no distinction between the more skillful and the lesser skilled players. Despite having drawn level at 1-1 with Sparrow at one stage, player changes which weakened the team strategically but strengthened it socially were unreservedly implemented to ensure everyone including players like Andy Chew and certain players still recovering from injury to have adequate play time. Social Frees will continue to pursue its objective to be a pure social fellowship of football enthusiasts with no discrimination in terms of race, colour, creed or skill.

Social Frees 1-2 A-Line
For the first time in its history, the Social Frees hosted a "foreign" club. The A-Line Club was a club that played in the 2nd Div. of the KL Social League. It made a journey north to Penang to have 2 friendly games, with the Social Frees (29 Aug) and Chung Ling'97 (30 Aug). It was a revealing and wonderful experience to play the KL team and the Social Frees will look to reciprocate their visit in the near future. Chung Ling'97 which drew 1-1 with them, has already arranged to play them in KL in October.
