Or, um, if you just wanna look at the few photos and skip all the words.
Bak Kua Loti
Hybrid: Sugar & UniHawks
Bak Kua Loti came into this game as underdogs, and left not much the wiser. Put a bunch of nervous floorballers against seasoned ones, many of them state players, and this is what you get: Wipeout.
At the beginning, Bak Kua Loti started quite okay-ly, but the truth that their oppoenents were a league ahead soon emerged as goal after goal was conceded.
Bak Kua Loti were obviously not in form and were snuffed out rather tamely while Hybrid's keeper barely touched the ball. It was like a day off for her.
Hybrid most deservedly took the game home.
Frontliners Amazons
True to their advantage in skill, Frontliners retained possession of the ball throughout the most part of the game while Bak Kua Loti did their best to stop conceding goals.
Even then the team dynamics weren't working for Bak Kua Loti as Frontliners moved on to a 5-goal lead, which was a good enough cushion for Pei Li to sit at the sidelines for a while and let the newer floorballers take to the court.
And even when Frontliners was reduced to two women (due to use of illegal sticks), the under-par forwards failed to deliver and penetrate through the solid defense of Pei Li and Sharron.
So yeah.
Bak Hu Loti
3-2 to Bak Kua Loti, speaking volumes about Bak Hu Loti's capability and potential.
Bak Hu Loti managed to somehow fumble the ball in first, taking the lead. Finally Bak Kua Loti caught up with an own goal by Bak Hu Loti and two other goals.
Credits to Bak Hu Loti keeper Joyce for some very nice saves and catching the ball so many times, to the dismay of this writer.
Sisters Stephanie and Natalie of Bak Hu Loti managed to slip another one into the goal, but fortunately for Bak Kua Loti the whistle sounded thrice.
G12
We meet again.
G12 with the likes of sharpshooter Valerie pummeled through the defense mercilessly and had a good shooting spree.
Any wants of Bak Kua Loti for anything close to revenge (for the recent friendly) fell short as they stumbled over and over again. Their defense proved unable to hold up against G12's arsenal and the forwards just got thwarted every time.
A fitting end to G12's campaign to gold.
Bak Hu Loti
G12
It was like putting Wolves against Manchester United.
Or, more accurately, asking a random guy on the street to make roti canai better than your favourite roti canai seller.
Bak Hu Loti came in ignorant of many rules in the game of floorball, and this was made worse by the fact that their opponents would later turn out to be the champions.
Referees, thank you for your patience :)
The fact that Bak Hu Loti was mostly new to the sport showed itself boldly clear during this match, conceding about a dozen goals while trying to stay mentally strong.
Frontliners Amazons
Okay, besides the fact that we lost..
Sister power! Stephanie and Natalie ran for every ball and took every shot, however messy it seemed and came through with one goal for Bak Hu Loti.
Vern Ern clearly gained her composure and was an important part in Bak Hu Loti's defense.
And well, keeper Joyce made sure the opponents didn't put one past her easily.
This game showed that Bak Hu Loti has big, big potential.
Hybrid: Sugar & UniHawks
Stephanie and Natalie showed that they were a threat as they again worked together and managed to scored one past Hybrid.
Hybrid showed no mercy but instead seemed to relentlessly dive in for the kill each time they could and delivered more often than not.
However much they conceded, Bak Hu Loti remained calm and collected mentally while doing their best to fend off the onslaughts.

Conclusion.
As club manager Alex said,"Just keep believing... We will be the top."
You can't deny that it was good exposure and experience.
And, yup, it shows that we do have some rising stars indeed =)
