Wolves FC Reunites Pack

Wolves FC have been struggling for form ever since they joined the MKS Melbourne tournaments.  In their first tournament, the Mauritian Futsal Cup 2010, they only managed one victory and three draws and finish the tournament in last position on the ladder.  Although their results appear to be dismal, there is a glimmer of hope and redemption.  Their victory was against Undefeated (1-0), who is currently positioned in second place in the MKS Melbourne team rankings.  Their draws were against Black Hawk United (2-2) and Club Maurice (0-0), two of the top teams and currently ranked in fifth and third positions respectively.

Their performance in the Champions Cup 2010 proved to be worse than the Mauritian Futsal Cup.  They finished second last in their group with only one victory.  Their attempt at the RMIT Soccer Challenge 2011 also ended in disappointment as they failed to qualify.   The team has since initiated a training regime and made a number of changes to its line-up in the hopes of improving their performance in upcoming tournaments.

With The Replacements absent from the MKS Melbourne Shield, they managed to secure the services of The Replacements captain, Jason Cheong, and The Replacements rookie, Michael Whan Kan.  The team is composed of the following players:
  • Kenny "Cha Cha" How (captain)
  • Edouard Whan Kan (vice-captain)
  • Nicolas "Teokon" Tao
  • Chris Cheong
  • Jason Cheong
  • Michael Whan Kan
  • Jeff Lai Sang
It seems like Wolves FC is reuniting its pack: securing the services of The Replacements players means that brothers Jason Cheong and Chris Cheong are reunited, along with their cousin, Michael Whan Kan, and uncle, Edouard Whan Kan.  Their strong sense of kinship extends well beyond family members and to other long-time members of Wolves FC.

With team captain Kim Young unavailable due to international duties, the captaincy passes to vice-captain Kenny "Cha Cha" How and veteran Edouard Whan Kan plies his experience as the new vice-captain.

Being only ranked eighth after two tournaments, Wolves FC do not have a dreams of grandeur.  They are looking to take the matches one-by-one and hope for qualification.
