No stopping Tampines

There is no stopping Tampines as the champions romped to another victory as they defeated Woodlands Wellington 3-1 at Clementi Stadium.

With this win, the Champions have opened up a 5-point gap at the top and amazingly, they still hold a game in hand over their rivals.

It is now 8 wins from 9 games and it is should be said that only they can lose the title now and not if they will win the title.

Imran Sahib, Sead Hadzibulic and Aleksandar Duric got the goals for the champions while Farouq Farkhan reply for the Rams on his debut after coming off the bench.

Rams defender Shariff Abdul Samat was also given a straight red in the game after being adjudged to have caught Khairul Amri in the face with an elbow.
