SOT: 28-16 (10-3, 6-2, 12-11)
We have come a long way from the days of yore when Innebandy! Co. only used to rely on several key players to bring in the goods. If not for the continuous investment of hard work put in by the coaches coupled with the never say die attitude exuberating from each and every single player in the team, the start to the season would never have been one expected with the scoreline above.
Starting the season against the PFL champions of 2008, we found ourselves more calm and collected on court this year. Good passes led to great playups especially from Line 1 of the team comprising a deadly forward combination of our two attackers Deswyn and Bryan and a bull once fondly known as “Malaysia” now graduated earning the nickname “Park Ji Sung” ;our very own Jason Chew.
Contact gave Innebandy a few scares throughout the match thanks to speedy runs from their forwards. Innebandy faced a side who never backed down till the last minute and their effort was rewarded with a goal scored in the last second of the last period. An attitude to be applauded for!
For most of the game, we seemed to be in control with good ball possession. Shot after shot , we managed to convert 43% of our SOTs. Although there were moments where speedy forward Calvin Lim from CFA managed a few one on one’s with our goalie, the Innebandy defense did a great job defending the fortress in their ranks with a much more mature gameplay this time round.
All in all, it was a good outing for us as we see our game take another step closer to maturity on court. Good mental preparation, good training philosophies, good coaching throughout the years has seen the rise and growth of Innebandy from a “baby” to “Adulthood” *quoting Deswyn*. We will definitely give it our all for the title this year!
