The day that was

Z'Liners-PFA Floorball Tournament

I've been constantly reminded/nagged by my dear players/friends to update the blog about the day that was. Hence the title of this post.

Anyway, back to the game.

The week before forms were due, we were still looking for people to play. Seeing as how the form 5's had exams, and it was fasting month, our original 14 was instantly reduced to the mighty 9. G12 were oh-so-generous to lend our dear team-mates to innebabes (Valerie), Frontliners (SYoong).

Early mornings and G12 aren't exactly on the same page as most of our juniors were rather late. And some one came earlier than schedule. Perhaps with an ulterior motive? We wouldn't want to know. Being manager and player, it wasn't that hard. I obviously had help from my "sexy-tary" to write the forms. But finding all my players, making sure all turn up, that was a little nerve-wrecking/nail-biting moment.

Ednamodes as usual, had a complete team earlier than our not-quite-punctual Violets. Registered and warmed up, girls were elated to see Nicholes. Smiles from ear-to-ear. A sigh of relief was heard. After all, Nic, our coach/mentor was here to help us out. On behalf of G12, we thank Nic for his effort and time that he's given to the girls. Thanks.



The game
Well, i wish i could give you a match-to-match analysis, but i'm afraid i have a little too much chemistry in my brains, hence i don't quite remember. But i know ednamodes played well [coughs] winning TWO and losing ONE to our mighty USM. We ended up Second in our group. Violets showed great grit and determination. Though they haven't quite adapted themselves to the its-no-ones-fault-we-played-well attitudes after their first defeat. None the less, being G12, we boosted their spirits. Of course being in the same group as floorball greats like Contact and Innebabes, they proved to be too strong for the junior team. But they still put on a darn good fight. Kudos.



Ednamodes who were safe to the next level, the semifinal, lost to Innebabes. By their one oh-so-lucky penalty. [Jokes] That goal saw them through to the finals while Ednamodes tried for third against USM. USM, being USM, with players like Sarah, they sort of trashed us. Sort of. Faults came from our line as we conceded 3 goals? Ednamodes didn't bother about winning because we were all having fun. Right?

So we lost that game, I lost my voice with the cheering-for-no-one-in-particular cheers. And that was the day that was.

Oh yes, Violets played a match against FGA E&P and it went down to penalties. The first 3 didn't quite find the net, but somewhere in the 3 after that Violets scored the win! Job well done.

This Saturday, head down to Dalat and cheer for our own G12 side-tracked player as she plays it against the Men, well, mostly men. Ruth will be donning the Ztec jersey. So, yes, in the spirit of floorball, [monologue] ditch those books, grab your voice and make it to dalat.

Lara to G12: I know i'm your retired manager/captain, but girls, you played a great team, MGS is proud to have you, G12 is proud to have raised you. And i am proud that we've gone so far. Thank you Nic for you efforts. You raised a good team. Though, i must say, i think its natural talent. LOL. Keep your chins up, and next year, revenge! You girls will bag 1st, 2nd and 3rd! Keep up the good work. And don't stop training. =)
