Team Rodyk participated in the 2009 edition of the Law Society 11-a-side Football Tournament held at the old race course at Turf City. Our team took to the field with passion and verve, conjuring several contenders for goal-of-the-season. Some say that our team's exploits and brilliant attacking play were so eye-catching that by the end of the group stages, whispers about Team Rodyk were heard in pubs as far east as Changi Village. What we do know is that by the end of the tournament, we had achieved a five-fold increase in the number of supporters. Despite our fantastic run to the finals of the tournament, there was to be no fairytale ending. Our team narrowly missed out on lifting the Cup when we were edged out on penalties in the finals of the tournament. While victory was not to be, we earned the respect and friendship of our brothers at the Bar and bragging rights - at least until the next tournament!
