Todays last match of the day, between my team One Way and Pelita, is definitely the classic match of the whole league. It was a thriller match. Spectators told me after the match that it was the most entertaining since the league started.

In this game, ive learnt that, we should NEVER EVER GIVE UP during a match. It aint over till its over. Ive always see this scenerio in japanese manga like "slam dunk". Its such a good thing i get to experience it myself.

Ok.. this is the scenerio. At first, Pelita scored the first goal. Hmm.. i guess it was a defensive error. And Pelita made good use of the oppurtunity. Later on we fought back. And my captain, Serene Tan equalised for us to make it 1-1.

In the begining, the match was controlled by pelita, led by the experienced Pr Edward. They attacked, and we kept defending. I played as a defender at first. Actually, i did a stupid mistake, i passed the ball to the middle, and Pr Edward scored from my blunder. He made it 2-1.

I praise my team mates that they didnt scold me or even show me their angry look. Instead, they encouraged me and said.. its ok. Thank u fellows.

After that, Pr edward scored another goal to make it 3-1. This goal arised from the rebound. He took a shot towards the goalie, it rebounded, and his next shot ensured he scored the goal.

Throughout the game, my mind was telling me one thing, " WE WILL BEAT THIS TEAM ". Many would have doubted it. Not me. Even before entering the match, i told some players from the Mighty Eagles team, "Expect the Unexpected from me", cos i tend to play better against the teams i dun like. And i happen not to like the Pelita team, cos they are the leaders in the league. Nothing personal, just rivalry. I will do my very best to ensure, that they will be defeated.

When Pr Edward scored the third goal, i guess it was their mistake. If they hadnt been too greedy to score so much, we wouldnt have gotten our fighting spirit. The more they scored, the more i  the more i wanted to beat their team. After they scored, i shouted out loud.. " CMON.. WE WILL BEAT THIS TEAM !!! ", i screamed so loud that everyone in the hall heard me say that. Once i said that, i felt some sort of power entering the team. Everyone was powered up. We were ready to crush our opponents. They started believing in themselves. I guess the Pelita team would have thought that theyve beaten us and can go home with 4 wins this week. But as i said, "It aint over till its over".

After that, our passes got better, our pace got faster, our shots got more and harder and we were dominating the game. I was breaking the defense all the way. Suddenly Serene Tan appeared at the most strategic position, and she asked for the ball. Because i was holding the ball, all attention was on me. That left Serene Tan in an open position. I passed to her, and she scored to make it 3-2.

Then i shouted again, "ONE MORE GOAL TO EQUALISE". And this time, our fighting spirit was doubled. Again, i dribbled the ball, cutting thru the defense. And again, captain marvel, Serene Tan appeared at the most open position and asked for the ball. I passed her the ball. And she converted into an equaliser to make it 3-3.

Oh my goodness, this cant be happening. We were celebrating like nobody’s business. I was screaming all the way YAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I was so extremely happy that i actually throwed my stick out of joy. The spectators were cheering and some were clapping. I felt like as though it was our homeground. Everyone was with us. The crowds were ours. We knew that, our play had turned the table upside down. I guess we played a thrilling and entertaining floorball. And the audience loved it. Everyone wanted us to beat this team cos this teams a strong team. The feeling was like David vs Goliath.

And then lastly, i screamed out loud… " ONE MORE WINNING GOAL !!!!". This time, we used up everything we had. I felt tat suddenly the whole team got an extra boost. We were then more confident of ourselves and we were ready to take on the juggernauts. The pressure is now on them. Weve gotten our momentum, and it was no turning back, cos ONE WAY has made up their mind to go home with 3 points from this game.

I was holding the ball this time. I felt Ivan running on my left. I tricked the opponent and gave a back pass to Ivan. And he went all the way cutting through the defenses and scored the WINNER!!!! The whistle blowed.We screamed like nobody’s business. Weve conquered, 3-4. We fought all the way. And we won.

I guess we won, because of our fighting spirit and Never-Say-Die attitude. They were the better team. But our burning desire to win surpassed all impossibilities. Our passion to win was greater. And that makes the diffrence.

I must say, Pelita is a good team. They were worthy opponents. They played good floorball. 1 thing i admire about them is tat their teamwork and coordination is good. Theyve showed us that good teamwork is the key to winning. Each team member knows what the other is doing. Their understanding of each other is telepathic. Btw, well done. This is a trait the Frontliners floorball club needs to develop if it is to conquer Penang. We need to develop this sort of understanding to get to the next level. We have talented players. All we need is coordination, and that will determine the winner and loser.

Learnt a lot from this match. Not just about floorball, but also about life in general. Wat a day. Hope to have more of this moments in times to come. Well done. Thanx Pelita, for the challenge!!!

Oks… i gotta gambatte ne… cheowZzZzZz..
