vs SXI Lunatics lost 0-3
vs CONTACT drivers lost 1-2
*Rated as the best team in the club by Coach Jason himself, Bak Chang went into the tourney with much expectations from the whole club and also themselves. Semi-finals seemed to be something achievable until they stepped into the court. Against the mighty SAINTS, our guys were totally killed off, the combination of SXI's Algin and Jefferey made our defence look so fragile. 3-0. Our guys were determined to bounce back against CONTACT. It was a 50-50 match, both teams were fighting for a win to secure a place in the quarter-finals. When James drag shot went past CONTACT's keeper, the whole team's spirits were lifted. The joy did not last long as CONTACT equalised later on. Just before the final whistle was blown, Charmaine's rebound was good enough to kill off the entire Firebrands, 2-1. Good match, good runs, good shots, what can we say? The ball is round.
Among all the players, Nicholas stood out. First time playing in a match, his brave saves kept the scoreboard below 3. Keep it up.
Firebrands Bak Kua
vs FRONTLINERS Fusion lost 0-4
vs CONTACT Army lost 0-2
vs INNEBANDY!CO lost 0-5
*The whole team's objective was to have fun and learn as much as they could. Bak Kua knew that their chances of qualifying to the next round was slim after Alex pulled out cause of knee injury. Made up of mostly under-15 boys, the first match against FRONTLINERS saw Bak Kua beaten 4-0. The team went off the court smiling. Bak Kua second match was against CONTACT, a win means there was still chance for the team to qualify. Lack of cutting edge saw the team miss a couple of one-on-one with keeper shots. The on-form CONTACT keeper made the forwards' job harder. In the end, Sheryn's superb free hit sealed CONTACT a comfortable 2-0 victory. Playing INNEBANDY with their tired limbs was not something very good. Beautiful passes from INNEBANDY and Bak Kua's defensive errors saw the match go one-sided towards INNEBANDY. 5-0. No goals was scored by the team but they had fun, not forgetting, they've learnt a lot.
Daniel's tireless run saw him stood up among the rest, better positioning will make him even better in the future. Good job.
Firebrands Bak Hu
vs ZTEC 2011 lost 0-9
vs SXI Kamikaze lost 1-3
vs MINDEN Titanium lost 0-9
*All beginners team. Drawn with ZTEC and MINDEN, the team had no choice but to suffer the 'tortures'. Against ZTEC, the team was like Saudi Arabia and ZTEC was Germany, Amos = Klose. For those who still remember that World Cup match, it was almost similar except the scoreline was worse. 9-0, no complaint, the team tried their best to keep the scoreline below 10. Next up, SXI Kamikaze, the only team in the tourney that the team had a chance to win against. Joshua scored from a free hit, and the whole club was excited to see this beginner team qualify for the next round. BUT, again the combination of the SAINTS killed our hope, this time it was Marcus and Joel, 1-3.
Last match against MINDEN, 9-0. As a conclusion, the whole played really well eventhough some of them just started playing floorball less than a month ago. Praises be upon them.
Delon showed us how YouTube can be your teacher. Two thumbs up!
KESIMPULANNYA
There is no IFs
Many said, if we combine all the forces, we could have achieved something.
If we were to send in only two teams only, we could have achieved something.
what if we sent only two teams and we did not achieve something and the beginners don't get to play?
1)win everything, learn nothing, neglect the beginners or 2) lose, learn lots of things, beginners get their exposure to floorball? YOU choose =)
