Sukpen IV 09

Well I guess i'll update about Sukpen IV since it's sort of a milestone for me.

I looked forward to sukpen, for a new chapter in the story of firebrands floorball club to unveil, holding high hopes for the team i was to be playing with, all aiming for the gold medal.. we were prepared after years of training and hard work finally we're able to reach what people said was unreachable. It was time to show them we can do it!

lolz.. thats just a ficitonal writeup lolz. here's the real one..
When the name sukpen was first mentioned i was like "huh? got such thing one ar?" lolz.. being so long away from the state's sports scene i was oblivious to the current happenings in the arena of sports. Anyways it was exciting to hear that floorball has been introduced to Sukpen and we believe soon in time will also be introduced into SUKMA :) Then it will really mean something to be in State Team. As for now the goal that i have carved on my heart is to help build the firebrands club and support it till we reach the next level.

Alright, alright... i'm drifting from the point here... lolz.. first when i got the team draft that we were gonna send i thought it would be quite a surprise if we could reach the finals however i still kept that hope in my head. Taking the game to the next level requires more than just physical strength but also the ability to keep a strong mental stability and to think ahead of the situation. The importance of teamwork can't be stressed more than working as a unit. Those who are able to work as one will achieve one result, one goal.

I was hoping that the team would be able to work together since we play on different lines usually so it would be a new gel-ling for the team. It was a good time for learning I'd say when i look back at how we've played and how far we've come as a team. Our first game was against Innebandy Co! who were known as one of the pioneering teams in Penang and also one of the best clubs. We didn't know what to expect facing the giants. It was a hit and run experience for me although for some of the other guys they knew what to expect. So i had to do my part in keeping the defensive area safe. After playing a while kinda got used to their attacking style so it was time to get to work although eventually running around got the best of me and i was unable to step up to block one shot that ended up in the net. I did try to equalize but was unfortunate when it was disallowed becoz i didn't wait for the ref to blow the whistle..... gabra -.- so the score ended with a 0-2

Next game, up against our brothers in battle... the Frontliners! with the Spartaic coach also playing it kinda felt a little like training except IT'S SO NOT!!! It was more like may the best man win.. it was heck of a tight game until we got a little distracted and the other side took the best of opportunity and landed one behind the goalie. Zeph managed to put one in for us as well but at the end due to my mistake i was given a two minute penalty which cost my team another goal.. end result 1-2

Third Game was against Saints.. The team that beat Frontliners.. They put up a tough battle as well with their strategy marked down to 3 front man we managed to block out most of their attacking power and ended it with a draw. 1-1

And our final game was against Contact, a team well known for their discipline in formation and also lethal up front. putting up a fight against this team was far from what we hoped for but nevertheless we had to put in our best. With 3 key players up front fast and accurate we had to put up a strong backline in the end we managed to keep the punch down to 3. final score 0-3

The team did well this time, if it was 3 months ago i believe the scoreline could've been a minimal of 3 instead of the max. I hope we gathered enough experience to build on our strengths and eliminate more of our weaknesses to face the stronger teams next year in div 2
