"Finally!!!" Salibandy!Co had won against Gang Bintang. Everyone celebrated with great joy over this victory not because we had any rivalry, but because Gang Bintang is a top top team in Selangor and we've never beaten them since the start of Selangor Floorball League Season 1.
During Season 1 and 2, whenever we played against them, we knew we didn't had much chance of winning as they were much more superior in terms of skills and experience. But for this Season 3, it had been a break through for Salibandy!Co throughout the whole season. We've not only manage to win matches, but also achieve consistency in our performance. Thus, having this victory against one of the best teams in Selangor just shows that Salibandy!Co is now among the top teams too. Though we're not the best yet, there's much much more hard work and training to match the mighty Subang Rascals in future.
Match Summary:
1st Period started with what the players in facebook called it, "a miracle goal" as Ricky Tong scored the openning goal with a long range shot! Salibandy!Co played a 50% defensive game as taught by our coach, Sasi. Everyone worked hard to run back to defend and to man-mark the Bintang players, thus limiting their chances of shooting.
We played with one simple rule: "we attack togehter, we defence together". Our defensive play was superb for the day as we manage to keep a clean sheet for the 1st period, and only letting in 1 goal during the 2nd period. But as for the 3rd period we conceeded 4 goals due to the Bintang players had gone full press and gave their best to try to chase the game back.
Conclusion:
The season is coming to an end with 3 more matches to go. At first, our aim was to secure 3rd placing for the league, and YES! We've secure it already with this victory. With only 1 point behind Gang Bintang now, we'll need to WIN all our remaining 3 matches to have any chance of over-taking them to get 2nd placing.
Throughout our league, we've leart a few lessons that we should not forget. One of the most important lesson is this:
"Never look down at other teams no matter what position they're in, always stay humble and have respect for every players, every teams."
Praise God for giving us strength and joy in playing floorball.
~ Salibandy!Co One Team One Way ~
