Ticket Price: Adults $5, Students $1

Hougang will be looking forward this quarter final tie off, when they face the Bulls again this Saturday, which promises to be an exciting affair.

Goals from Jordan Webb and a rare goal from Ante Barac had the Cheetahs one foot into the semi-finals, where they will meet the winning team of the uniformed derby of Home United and the Singapore Armed Forces.

However, Hougang needed to step up the performance to protect the slender lead, especially in the first half, where they had struggled to put through passes. Another main problem is the Bulls towering attackers, which they had conceded through an early goal from Julien Durand.

Hougang United will face the Bulls of Gombak United on Tuesday in a RHB Singapore Cup Quarter final fixture, which will be a two-legged fixture.

Hougang, who had a fairytale run last season, in which they had finished fourth last season in the cup, only to be denied by both foreign teams, Albirex Niigata & Etoile FC.

The Cheetahs will be looking to spark another glory run in the cup, and with Lau Meng Meng and his charges managed to dispatch Tanjong Pagar United through penalties in the preliminary round, they are looking to settle the tie against the Bulls.

Venue: Queenstown Stadium
Ticket Price: Free ENTRY for all match attendees

The Cheetahs will be looking to kickstart their Singapore Cup foray this season, starting with a trip to Queenstown Stadium where they take on the improving Tanjong Pagar United this Sunday.

Much will be anticipated in this campaign, when the Cheetahs surprised the lot last season, eventually finishing fourth in this competition. The Hougang faithfuls will be looking forward for the Cheetahs to put on the impressive run again this season, after dismal results in league this time round.

The Jaguars will be no pushovers either. They are currently on a three-match unbeaten run, stunning Home United and Balestier Khalsa on the way. The Jags are currently on 8th position, above Hougang, who are languishing on 11th.

Hougang United had been drawn against Tanjong Pagar in the RHB Singapore Cup in the preliminary rounds - to be held between 14-21 May.

The draw, which was held in Bugis Junction, under a scorching Sunday afternoon sun, was held as a fan fare event, to reach to the Sunday crowd in one of the busy shopping areas of Singapore. Alongside with the draw, the show was graced by the S-League cheerleader, the Super Girls, a trio of football freestylers and also held a mini kickabout competition involving the St Andrews' Junior School students.

The draw was seeded in what we have seen the most unique way. To determine the seeds, a ball-juggling competition involving the remaining twelve S-League team representatives, excluding the Young Lions. The longest to hold up the ball was handed the first seed.

Hougang United was represented by the Cheetah's no. 16, Basit Hamid, who is well known to play sepaktakraw during his school days. Basit managed to hold up the ball, in 4 1/2 minutes, and awarded Hougang the third seed.

Basit's hardwork was fruitful, as Hougang was handed a preliminary round tie against the Jaguars, who are given the home advantage at Queenstown Stadium.

The winner of the tie, proceeds to the quarter finals, where they meet the winner of the tie, between Gombak United and Harimau Muda B.

After losing against league leaders Balestier Khalsa 2-0 in a match where they could have gone to the summit instead with a win, the bruised egos of Harimau Muda will face a Hougang United side seemingly down on luck.

In the 2-0 lost to Balestier, Harimau Muda looked out of sorts, despite having all the possession in the game. They looked short on ideas and were unable to split open the Tiger’s defence. However, in their previous loss against Home United, they bounced back immediately to win against Woodlands.

RHB Singapore Cup
Semi Finals (2nd Leg)
Hougang Stadium, Kick-Off 730pm

They now know who their opponents will be in this year’s RHB Singapore Cup final, following the intense game in the other semifinal at Queenstown Stadium on Thursday night that saw Home United come out on top by the slimmest of margins.

So when Hougang United and Albirex Niigata (Singapore) play the second leg of their tie at Hougang Stadium on Friday evening, they will be fighting for the privilege of facing four-time winners Home, a prospect which should make both teams even keener to progress to that November showdown at Jalan Besar.

Hougang United    vs     Harimau Muda

         

         

Hougang United will be trading paws with the Malaysia's National U-19 team Harimau Muda B (Young Tigers) this coming Friday under the RHB Singapore Cup 2011 knockout competition. Last years Singapapore Cup winners were the team from Thailand - Bangkok Glass FC.

This match comes few weeks after the abandonment of the Hougang/Etoile match, and I think everyone deserves a much needed break to recollect themselves.
