Another luckless day for BLACKS...

Lady luck was away again in the match against Taz Arowana. BLACKS lost 3-1 with 13 shots at goal as compared to Taz's 9 shots and even had shots hitting the goal posts except the net. However, the team play did have some improvements and it was a consolation point for the team. Even though BLACKS lost the game, centre Kenneth Koh #11 was named the MOM. Kenneth who has been playing floorball for a few years controlled the game play well and rightly deserved the MOM title. Let’s hear what he has to say for this match.



Another bad day, what’s wrong with the match?
K: Our match ah? Let me think...(scratching his chin) I think the 2nd and 3rd period we gave 100% but the 1st period we were practically sleeping! Unfortunately, they (Taz) scored 2 goals in the first 13 mins and it was too late for us before we woke up. Another point is that the entire team must play well together. It must not be a line by line for each match thing. I mean we cannot afford to have one line playing well and the other not; all must perform to win together. Consistency is king!

How is it being the MOM even though it’s a lost?
K: I’m glad to be the MOM but as all my team-mates would say is that I rather have a win. We must still win the remaining matches so that we will have a chance in the playoffs.



So which area should the team work on?
K: We need to work on taking first time shots, more composed defence and make faster passes.


How about your individual skills?
K: I want to finally master air hooking. It’s a really cool and difficult skill to execute. Another area is my 1st time shots.










Even though the game ended with a defeat, the day did not end in a solemn manner as it was coach Lionel's birthday! The team got a cake for him and blessed him with "showers of blessing" and a special "drop those shorts" ceremony. Some of the pics taken below:

No underwear to be seen here though, sorry gals : )




Getting ready for the cake...






I wish that BLACKS will stop dreaming in the 1st period...






Kaoz... how did I get wet and who pulled my shorts?!?!






Striking a pose for the camera...



Check out the "hunks"... can't see the pic clearly eh (that’s the point)....





Finally cutting the cake...




Unlucky Jordan got a red eye after being "kissed" by the ball during warm-up. (Hey Jordan! Watch the ball and not the gals. Just kidding) : )
