Match Report - NTU VS NUS Men's 3rd/4th Placing

The battle of the two universities! Ntu and Nus facing up to see who is the better team. Will history repeat again with Ntu winning the game just like in the previous IVP against Nus with Md Hafeez scoring 6 of the goals out of 7 goals that Ntu scored.

First Period
The game started off with high intensity from both side. Both sides trying their very best to break their opponent's defence and take shots against the goalies. Nus seems to be playing well with better passes as compared to Ntu. 5mins into the game finally the first goal came. It was scored by Ntu's #7, a nice quick low drag shot. Unlucky for Nus as they were having the ball possession most of the time. Nus kept pressurising and tried to equalise but their shots were either blocked by Ntu's defender or saved by the goalie. The first period ended with the scoreline being 1-0 to NTU!

Second Period
In the second period, Nus was dominating the game. Their tight defence proof too hard for Ntu to break in and trying to get their second goal. Few minutes into the game Nus finally managed to get an equaliser. It was a well taken low drag shot by one of Singapore's National Player #2 Samuel Nee. The intensity once again become high on court. In less den 2minutes, Nus scored their second goal. Once again by #2 Samuel Nee. The same goal as the previous one that he scored earlier on. Ntu's defence starts to be shaky and Nus is seizing the chance to try to get more goals in but Ntu's goalie #32 Jacky made many tremendous saves. Second period with the scoreline being 1-2 to NUS!

Third Period
In the third period few minutes into the game, Ntu's #7 scored an equaliser! It was all messy in front of Nus's goal area with Nus's defenders trying to clear away the ball and Ntu's players trying to get hold of the ball. Ntu's #7 seize the chance and did a quick low drag shot when the ball landed on his blade. Nus goalie couldn't see the ball and anticipate it due to the mess in front of him. This is the price Nus has to pay for not clearing the ball immediately. Nus then start stepping up after Ntu's equalising goal. Few minutes later Nus #21 Melvyn Tan scored a nice drag shot somewhere near the halfway line with no one stepping up on him. Nus is back leading the game. The score is now 3-2 to NUS! Referee made a good call when he gave Nus's player, Donald, a 2 minutes offence for delaying of play. Ntu tried taking many shots during the 2 minutes powerplay but their chances went down the drain as their shots were either blocked or saved. Finally after fighting out hard trying to break Nus defense, Md Hafeez, managed to score a one on one with Nus goalie! It was a nice through pass from the defence. The scoreline is now 3-3. This is so far the most exciting period as compared to the first two periods. 2minutes later, Glass, from Nus scored another goal for Nus through a free hit! Not long later, Nus scored another goal through #7 Benjamin Ang. Ntu managed to score another goal not long later but it was not good enough. They were still 1 goal down. The last 2 minutes to the end of the game, Ntu's key player, Md Hafeez tried all means n ways to assist his team mates or take a shot but Nus defence was too tight to break. The game ended with the scoreline being 4-5 to NUS!

Match Report - SIM VS NUS Ladies

We’ve come to the second game of the day, this time round having SIM which topped Table A. It’s another game which determined who would make it for the finals, NUS or SIM? The defending champions, SIM had all their key players this time round, ready to fight against Team NUS who were physically fit.
1st Period
And again, the 1st period started off with a slow pace. It was obvious that both teams were not used to the Ger-Flor. SIM had more ball possession and at the 4th minute, a wrong pass made from SIM #2 to NUS nearly saw a goal for NUS, but the NUS player missed the goal. A free hit was given to SIM, #12 Duck passed to #20 Priscilla where she took a wrist shot but was saved by NUS #15 Widya. NUS #10 made a very nice break-in, took a drag shot against SIM but it flew out.

2nd Period
Not wanting to waste any more time, SIM won the face-off. SIM’s #12 Duck took a wrist shot against NUS’s veteran goalie Widya, but was saved once again. SIM’s favourite #19, Angela showed off her dribbling skills and made beautiful yet simple passes to her teammate #2 Louie which missed the shot quite a few times. NUS was working very hard to get their goals coming, however all were to no avail as shots were not put on target. SIM was still able to hold their play and kept more ball possession most of the time. The NUS girls were very hardworking, they made sure they man-marked SIM very tightly were able to hold them back until the period ended still with a score of 0-0.

3rd Period
It was either a make it or break it for both teams, there wasn’t any much time left to waste. It was almost half of the third period when SIM finally scored their first goal! #4 Stella took a quick wrist shot against NUS’s #15 Widya.This calls for a celebration for SIM! Almost close to the end of the period, SIM’s #4 Stella was given 2 minutes for slashing. NUS tried to make use of this 2 minutes to get their goal but to no avail again. After the final whistle was blown, SIM jumped in joy! The game ended with a final score of 1-0 to SIM. Will it be another year for SIM to defend their championship title? We’ll see when they meet RP this Friday!

Match Report - RP VS TP Ladies

After drawing with NTU and edging them out by 1 more goal difference, RP faces TP who topped Group B’s table after winning all 4 games.
1st period
The first period started off very slowly, with both teams trying to get used to the flooring. RP has the advantage over TP because they train on Gerflor in RP. At the 19th minute, RP’s #4 Joelle scored a goal assisted by her teammate #19, Mable. RP’s very own goalie made a great save by a TP player who broke in from the center and took a shot against her!

2nd Period
The 2nd period saw RP leading by a goal which worried TP. The intensity of the game did not change, somehow the tempo was still very slow. Many of them were falling down and missing their passes and shots, it must be due to the flooring maybe. RP’s captain cum key player #6 Ou Mei Wen had to sit out after having a bad fall at the boards. RP’s coach Jamie was worried because they had the smallest squad in the whole IVP, they had no choice but to ensure that the whole team had to cover up for one another. Still, no goal from TP during the 2nd period.

3rd Period
This was TP’s last chance to either make it or break it. At the 33th minute, TP’s #34 took a wrist shot but it went off target. Due to some poor defense by TP, RP had a counter attack back where RP’s #21 PeiPei took a wrist shot against TP but it went off target. TP still had their fighting spirit in them and never gave up. TP’s #5 Wanie broke in and took a drag shot against RP but was saved. A free hit was given to TP at the 39th minute where #5 Wanie took a wrist shot but luck wasn’t on their side, it hit the post and went out. RP has lesser possession of the ball this time round, a mistake led by RP saw TP’s #47 Hazirah breaking in through the centre with her dribbles where she took a wrist shot and TP finally earned their first goal! It was now 1-1 to both teams until the final whistle.

Golden Goal
Both teams had to play for an extra 5 minutes whereby whichever team that scores first wins. During the 2nd minute here, TP’s #47 Hazirah was given 2 minutes for jumping. It was powerplay to RP and boxplay to TP now. TP was defending their hearts out in order to not concede any goal, sadly for RP, they did not make use of their powerplay to score. At the 4th minute, RP’s #8 Reena Wong did a drag shot from the centre but was saved by the TP Keeper, Madura. That 2 minutes left was very crucial for both teams, RP which dominated that play saw RP’s #8 Reena Wong scoring the winning goal for RP which was nicely assisted by her teammate Jacelyn Tay #11 ! Everyone was committing to Rp’s #11 Jacelyn and did not take note of #8 Reena at the blind side, a pass from Jacelyn to Reena saw RP scoring their golden goal! The final score was 2-1 to RP. Good job girls!

this is why...

Awesome Floorball Skills!

Match report NTU-SMU Ladies

It was a game neither team could afford to lose. With losses in both their opening games, both of them needed a win to have a fighting chance of qualifying for the semis.The game started at a frantic pace and SMU was the faster of the teams to settle down. They had the 1st free hit of the game but it was wasted. NTU then found their footing and began to ease themselves by holding the ball more and rained shots on the SMU goalie. A couple of shots from mid-court from NTU #21 Shanti and #9 Ain was saved by the SMU goalie. In the 7th minute, #17 Xinlin of NTU made a good cut in from the boards into the centre but her drag was parried by the SMU goalie who was in inspired form.SMU drew first blood through #16 Tracy Lee who scored with a good drag shot from 5 metres out. It was a poor defensive error from NTU who made a line change when the hit in was against them and after some tussle the ball fell to Tracy who took it with aplomb. NTU immediately drew level though when #15 Siti Nor Amilin took a shot after the mid court and it was deflected through the unknowing SMU keeper. NTU ended the 1st period stronger.

The 2nd period started brightly with SMU urged on by their coach Dennis to go in stronger. Both sides traded shots but NTU was having the upper hand with their structured play introduced by their coach, the legendary Jill Quek.In the 10th min of the 2nd period, NTU substituted their goalie and right after that, SMU #8 Yuen got in a goal from close range amidst a scramble. Things started to get heated up as NTU went in search of an equaliser as the physical challenges at the boards increased. It was not until the last minute of the period that NTU managed to equalise through #18 Vivian when her team mate tried to wrap the keeper to no avail but the ball rolled kindly for Vivian to knock it into the goal. 2-2 at the end of 2nd period and still no daylight between the 2 teams.

NTU dominated the 3rd period as tired legs began to show. There were no shots on target from the SMU ladies while NTU pressed on to find the winning goal. #4 Yiping tried a backhand shot and #11 Soak Kuan burst through the defence but the SMU goaltender kept them all out. In the 14th minute though, NTU finally made the breakthrough they were seeking when #77 Veron made a through pass to the blind side of the goal to find her team mate Xinlin who finished off the chance. The NTU team jumped for joy and they closed out the game to finish the game at 3-2, with 29-5 shots on target in their favour.

Match report SMU-SP

9th January 2009
IVP 08/09
SMU VS SP (Men’s)
Period 1
The game started with SP having chances at the slot area but well-denied by the tight defence from SMU. It was pretty much an even game until SMU started to take control. SP read the game and took chances at counter attacks when SMU commits mistakes. The first excitement of the game came when SMU Captain #37 took a shot from the right side of the court and hit the far left of the goal post. It certainly got his team hyped up! A short while later, celebration came from SMU when #11 scored from where his captain tried. It was an exciting period filled with many counter-attacks.
(1-0)
Period 2
SMU started the fresh period with a bang! The players went after the ball hard and fast in attempt to further their lead. Despite the strong pressure from SMU, credits had to be given to SP for holding a superbly tight defence. SP managed to cut out passes by SMU and #90 burst right through to SMU’s half with the ball but only to hear the sound of the ball hitting the post. The disappointment in his face showed it all. Morale of SP went up when #9 equalised the game with an unexpected backhand goal the got through the legs of SMU keeper. Both teams were high on spirits! Shortly after, a bench penalty of 2-minutes was given to SP for incorrect push. Although they were one-man down, SP gave a hard time for SMU to play offensively. When the play was back to 5v5, SMU #21 was given the space to take a far shot towards the goal from their left offensive half. SP was absolutely stunned by SMU #7 who took the rebound at the blind side.
(2-1)
Period 3
Both teams began to play more aggressively, physically challenging every opponent. The spectators were scared by the players when the play was near the boards. Soon enough, one of the SMU player was punished for his aggressive play. However, SP could not put a ball through the net. Within seconds after it was back to 5v5, another SMU player was sent to the sin bin. Unfortunately, SP could not control the flow of game with players releasing the ball impatiently and shots flying all over but at the goal. At the last few minutes of the game, SMU #33 swiftly placed the ball above the keeper’s leg and brought the score to 3-1. SP fought very hard knowing that little time was left. SP #90 ended the game with a magnificent drag shot at an impossible angle, leaving the game 3-2 to SMU.

IVP 08/09
RP VS NTU (Men’s)
Period 1
RP dominated the game right after the first face off with precise passes, keeping the NTU players on their toes at all times. Only after tens of shots were fired that RP could finally put one through the net. NTU played with great discipline, closing down and covered the ever-coming shots from RP. NTU #19 was given a 2-minute bench penalty for incorrect pushing. The challenge for NTU to defend was definitely raised higher. A quick interception gave NTU #31 a chance to counter but was saved by RP’s keeper #25. RP held a very well-controlled game holding NTU in their defensive half. Another 2 minutes was later given to NTU #7 for lying play. RP held the ball patiently, moving the defence of NTU before striking at goal.
(1-0)
Period 2
2 brothers facing each other off broke some laughter among the spectators. A 2-minute penalty for incorrect hit was given to NTU #8. With a one-man advantage, RP Captain #9 took the ball up from defence and placed it nicely into the goal while NTU’s keeper #32 was down. During a hustle at NTU’s defensive corner, an ambiguous call for incorrect push was given to NTU #8. The challenge for both teams came when RP #4 was also sent to the sin bin shortly after, for incorrect hit in an attempt to stop NTU #66 from a counter attack. In the last minute of the second period, NTU played a different tactic, pressuring full court against RP.
(2-0)
Period 3
Within 2 minutes into the new period, RP #24 and #8 pulled the score up to 4-0. RP yet again extended the lead to 5-0 with an unexpected shot which was passed right into the far left corner of the NTU’s goal. As the game progressed, NTU #19 was sent off for a 2-minute penalty which was then changed to 5-minutepenalty for his misconduct towards the referees. Despite the one player advantage, RP was denied harshly by NTU’s disciplined defence.
It was certainly a match to watch! Although RP has been a dominant team, NTU certainly gave a hard time for RP to live up to expectations.

Stick of the Month - Jan 09

Zone ENVY Orange

The first time i saw the ENVY, I was a little skeptical. I mean, the shaft actually has holes in it...

Previously I had the super hard ENVY Steelflex which definitely was too hard and stiff for me. One thing I have learned is that you will never get your ultimate, perfect - does it even exist? - drag or wrist shot, as long as you're playing with a too hard and stiff shaft.

When the latest ENVY Firmflex hit the stores, I was very curious how it would feel. I was very positively surprised! Not only does it look awesome and going at a great price, the flex 31 made it much easier to shoot, dribble and pass. The ENVY blade is big which makes dribbling and shooting at face pace easy like lemon squeasy, not to mention how simple hitting the bouncing ball on the volley was!

For the first time, I realised how amazing the new Carbon-fibre Aero Hole Technology really is.
If you're a secondary/JC student on the hunt for a new stick, you have to check this cool orange stick out!
