*credit to Deswyn for the stats

After 2 years of being unable to emerge victorious against the FLOOR-BALL-ERSS!!!! , the year of 2010 finally saw the breaking of the Spartan curse.

However, it wasn’t an easy battle. The Spartans fought valiantly as always but this time round, they were up against a much more strengthened Innebandy side. With loaded artillery coming from the forwards and a strong fort of defense, Innebandy managed to keep the rampaging Spartan attack at bay- with a clean sheet.

The Spartans definitely played well in defense too keeping the goals against them to a minimum. However, the forward combination of Bryan and Deswyn proved deadly enough to gain Innebandy the victory. With a brace from each of them in the 1st and 3rd period respectively, the Spartan curse was finally broken!

And now.history has been rewritten. The Spartan curse has finally been broken. Because in the year 2010 ,

SOT's 40-7 (12-2,16-1,12-4)

Although the scoreline depicts a solid win by Innebandy, this game saw the emergence of the Minden Unihawks team who portrayed the never say die attitude gallantly in the 3 periods of game play on this eventful night.

In the first period, Innebandy! Co.was shown a good display of defense by the Minden Unihawks team. However, it was the goalie W.W. Lee of Minden Unihawks who stood out in holding the MDU fort together. Being on fire that night, she managed to block out most of the shots arrayed from the Innebandy side. Although the SOT’s were aplenty from the Innebandy side, only 1 shot could be converted in the first period resulting in a 1-1 draw in the first period.

During the break after the first period, Coach Sam huddled the team and gave us the talk we needed. “PLAY OUR GAME” and “BE HUNGRY FOR GOALS”. This instruction clearly worked for the Innebandy side as the 2nd period saw us raking in 6 goals out of which 4 were well poached by our “Park” Soon Hooi thus meeting the record set by Sam for him during the break of the 1st period.

At the beginning of the 3rd period, MDU managed to hit back one more goal against Innebandy. However, Innebandy responded by hitting back another 4 goals to end the game with a score of 11-2.

Having responded well in the 2nd and 3rd periods, Innebandy earned the accolade the Flying V from the MDU team thus showcasing the improvement of our gameplay as a team. However, it was a good sight to see not only Innebandy improving but also the MDU team. The floorball scene in Penang is definitely headed in the right direction!=)
