Captain: Daniel Phang

The match started with 3 early goals from Salibandy!Co contributed by Terence and Daniel in the 1st period. Straight after the 3rd goal, Bangi started their full press and manage to get a goal before the 1st period ended.

The match was much similar for the 2nd and 3rd period where Bangi score a goal, Salibandy!Co would also score one back to maintain a 2 goals lead. Difference is, 2nd and 3rd period was much more challlenging in terms of physical and mentally.

With Bangi pushing 100% press, our defenders did well to absord their pressures and to realise the ball to our forwards for counter-attacks. Our goallie also did well in catching long range shots and making a lot of decent saves.

Match analysis:

In evaluating the 5 goals that Bangi scored. 2 of the goals was due to our own mistakes and could have been prevented.

1) One of the goal scored by Bangi was from a free-hit near our goalpost. Our mistake was we felt that the referee decision was wrong and all our forwards kept on complaining about the wrong decision and did not form a wall and did not man-mark. Well, the opponents took full advantage and played the ball fast to their forward which was un-guard and he scored.

Once a referee makes a decision, he/she most likely won't change their decision. Plus, according to floorball rules, free hits can be taken at anytime, thus, we do not / cannot have time to complain.

2) Another of our mistake was when we had a free hit near opponent's goalpost. Mistake was that our defenders were too up in our opponent's area. When our forwards took the shot and it rebounded on the opponents, they took the ball and manage to out run our defenders and had a one on one with the goallie to score the goal.

For free hits in our halfs, then our defenders would take the free hits. As for free hits near opponent's goal, then forwards will take the hit. At the same time, our defenders should maintain a proper distance to prevent opponent from counter-attack.

Conclusion:

One area that we had done well, not prefect, but good enough was that we had manage to remain calm even when opponents were very physical and even when referees makes a decision, it may not always favour us. So no matter what the referee decides, we still need to play on and complete the game.

~Cheers~
One Team One Way
