SP has made a giant step towards IIVP 2004/2005!

On Monday,6th September 2004, players of the SP Floorball IIVP Team stepped into NTU's floorball rink with unity and determination to leave a mark behind. And this was done in timely fashion as we did it with our trademark fighting spirit and unity to contain the raging attacks of the NUS Floorball IIVP team. The first period was a tense affair as both sides began to forage for defensive weaknesses to break into. This often lead to harsh pushes on both sides and led to no.21 of NUS to get a 2 min penalty for wrongfully pushing no.11 of SP against the boards. This gave SP the initiative to launch an offensive in the 2nd period.

The 2nd period was a battle of guts and fighting spirit as NUS scored a rather fluke goal via shot which bounced off the ground over SP's goalie and landed into the bottom corner of the net. While NUS was celebrating,SP was undaunted initiating a counter-offensive against NUS. It took some time as SP began to move forward via SP's no.17 and long balls from defence. Other notable players include SP's industrious midfield which hasten every NUS attack they could muster. Via a bit of luck and skill, SP's no.17 turned past a few defenders and scooped the ball over the onrushing NUS keeper. It was a goal well-worth celebrating. The fans from the stands were cheering loudly as SP was back in the game! This led NUS to call for a time-out as they began to reanalyse their tactics. SP wasn't content with the results and continued their drive for success.

The third period was where desperation from both sides were evidently seen to break the deadlock of having the first draw of the IIVP season. NUS was launching hasty attacks while SP were blocking shots by throwing their bodies against every shot. It was another piece of ingenuity by NUS no.15 as he did a wraparound from the far post which snuggled between the legs of SP's goalie and leapt into the net. Agony SP as we grew stronger in unity to try to whack another goal in. It was evident as NUS tried to control and prolong play as long as possible and seem content on keeping possession as time rolled on. It was agonising when in the dying minutes there was a goalmouth scramble in the NUS area,but SP failed to put the ball in the net as our efforts were nearing the end as the clock ticked away. This proved costly as we lost to NUS. However, it was a good improvement considering we lost 5-0 against them the previous season. FORZA SP!!!

P.S. Due to lack of tanni to the reporter from the ban imposed by Evangelista to all SP floorball players against the seven deadly sins, the reporter has been serious with the report.
