RP vs SP -=[3rd consecutive match of the year]=-
It was a usual outing between these 2 battling sides as they meet for the third time this year as sort of a finale to the year end of floorballin' 2004. This time there wasn't much difference as RP called upon their previous coach Khairul to play for them while SP had Mus who came over to have a taste of RP. The pre-match hype was that it would be a high-scoring affair from both sides with their fearsome line-ups and wonderful keepers who are back on track for this special showdown. Farhan from SP who had a long break and has not been for a single training has been instructed long and hard on certain tactics while Khalid from RP was constantly training hard during SKOOLS training under the watchful eye of Mr Amir.
The first period begin with SP's young line of an average age of 17 controlling the pace of the game to allow more control on the ball for possession and wing play. They did well and was substituted with line 2's experienced floorballers. With constant switching from the flexible and mobile formation of line 2,RP was constantly bewildered on who to mark and soon clashes occur. A lucky break soon came SP's way as a long throw-out from Farhan was well controlled by Akil down the right flank. He turned and accelerated down the right surprising the oncoming defender and tried a dragshot between the defender's legs. Luck was on his side as it deflected off the defender's leg and rolled into the bottom left hand corner of the keeper's net. Score 1-0 to SP as the crowd cheered loudly and chants of "FORZA SP!" were heard all round. RP were a little disheartened and began a more physical play onwards. SCORE 1-0.
Second period was more powerful and action-packed as the referees soft side were well used by the opposing team. Many fouls were either unseen or left for the players to account for. Whatever the reason, Farok grabbed the 2nd goal for SP as his shot trickled below the body of the diving RP keeper. Loud screaming were heard as many of Farok's gal friends go gaga over him scoring the 2nd goal. Woohoo! RP didn't buckle down however and replied in kind soon after with a dragshot which flew low into SP's net. We were caught off-guard and soon lines were reshuffled a little to stop the over-physical play of the RP players. These attempts however proved futile without any protection from referees whatsoever and many wild tackles were left seen and left alone. Ikhmal was injured in the 2nd period as his back of the neck was whacked by a stick during a goalmouth scramble. sheesh....Farok scored another similar goal via a dragshot to an empty net as the keeper lay helpless after diving on a blocked shot attempt....SCORE 3-2.
The third period was the most stupidest affair ever and i shall keep it short and sweet. Penalty to RP....Penalty sweetly taken....it ended in a draw....Adzmin's knee is injured,Hafiz's eye got whacked,Akil's jaw got whacked.....SCORE 3-3.
If there is a rematch, we'll meet again in div2 RP. No grudges or hardfeelings. Just plain floorballing...Clean and proper....Sorry for any inconvenience caused and i hope no RP players shall take anything to heart.
