SINGAPORE, 18 NOVEMBER 2018 – Yishun Sentek Mariners FC beat Tiong Bahru FC 3-1 in the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) FA Cup tonight, clinching the title in the process.

Yishun Sentek Mariners FC narrowly lost to Warriors FC’s Prime League team last year, and overcame the odds this year to dominate proceedings, despite being one man down 33 minutes into the game.
