The last wall.As the last match in PFL Division 2 2010, fireBRANDS were up against Trailblazers. fireBRANDS being in the driving seat into being PFL Division 2 champions and a promotion to Division 1 in 2011 needed to secure it with a win against Trailblazers.
At 11.00am, referees blew the whistle to signal the last match for Division 2 2010. Sadly, one of our teammates wearing a wrong-numbered jersey led to a 2 minute bench-penalty.
Besides that unfortunate incident, fireBRANDS started off with a bang when team captain, Gary penetrated through the defense of Trailblazers in the first few minutes of the first half. A quick goal had put fireBRANDS in the limelight for a first trophy since entering Division 2 in 2009. Time passed, lines after lines, players after players played on that green court.
Trailblazers' defense was really up-tight. Seniors took shots after shots to bring the ball into the goal posts were to no avail. The opponents box-play had really made the seniors a tough time scoring. When the opponents called for a time-out, a new strategy had to be established. Hence, luring them out from the box was the only way to score.
As we managed to play our strategy right, goals were scored. Most of the time during the game, the opponents were like the Great Wall of China trying to protect their country or a.k.a. goal posts from the Mongolian invaders a.k.a. fireBRANDS. Kudos to Trailblazers for keeping all of the seniors at bay.
Into the second half, it was much of a one-sided game when the seniors were playing in the offensive zone. On a few occasions, Trailblazers' managed to steal the ball from us and went down to the seniors zone for a shot. Our goalkeeper, Nicholas Choong saved a goal to keep a clean sheet record for today's match.
As the 20 minutes was up, fireBRANDS emerged as champions of Division 2 2010. With no doubt, the vision of fireBRANDS became a reality. Through HARDWORK and DETERMINATION brings a fruitful outcome.
