Ztec played it the Woossshhh way, Contact played it the FireAnts way, Minden played it the Hawks way, Frontliners played it the Spartans way, Dalat played it the Eagles way.....
And we played it our way. Innebandy!Co's way.
We are One Team, One Way
A win by a goal will get us bronze for PFL Div1 2009.
Despite the fact that Innebandy!Co is head to head with Contact FireAnts on the table before this game is played, this is the only game in the league that the Coaches did not give any pressure on innebandiens. How often would this happen during a league?
The only reason is because this is the last game and the whole team should enjoy it. But this doesn't mean that we took this game lightly. The team were asked to maintain ball possessions throughout the game and to score as many as possible due to the fact that Dalat has only one and a half line on the bench that night. And for the goalie, he gave himself clean sheet as his priority.
Goals were pouring into the Eagles' net not long after the faceoff. With the freedom the Coaches gave, everyone wants to put their name for glory for the last time in this league.
However, only a handful made it. Deswyn dominated the centre court and seized every opportunity to break their defence and beat the goalie. And Valerie being unmarked most of the time did well too in helping the team getting the bronze with her goals. Sam being kiasu also grabbed 2 for himself. Both Joshua and Captain E did some really nice passes to assist into scoring as well.
2 innebandies that are the youngest and were most insignificant throughout the league rise up for the occassion. Against all odds and against "goliath", they managed to find themselves on the right spot at the right time to slot in the goal perfectly into the net. They made their team mates, supporters, spectators, parents, brothers, sisters, friends and most of all they made God proud!
Boy oh boy. My heart shouts for joy when I saw them scoring. It felt way way better than winning the gold medal. Both of them played as if they are in the world championship finals. They may be small in size but they have a great hunger for Floorball. Definitely a contender for future all-star.
Innebandy!Co saw the fruits of its harvest that moment. Much more to come! Be prepared to reap what you sowed.
