Ztec8cers whom were the champions of the 2009 Penang Division 1 was this year made up mainly new players. Being the 2nd team of Ztec Floorball Club, this team consists of players from the 2009 Division 2 team as well as some new young blood.
Going out against the runners up of PFL 2009 Div 1( Frontliners Spartans) wasn't an easy game and surely not a start Ztec8cers wanted. However the young team was truely excited and gave their best throughout the match. For those of you who didnt watch the game, this was a little bit like the 2005 Football European Championship Final(AC Milan vs Liverpool).
8cers started of the game on a high with John Chia Shen netting the first goal giving a shock to almost everyone in the stadium. However it didnt took long for Spartans to take the lead after 2 quick goals to end the first period 2-1.
2nd period saw Frontliners grabbing 1 goal before Tashveen capitalised over a Spartan mistake before Andy Goh equalised for the 8cers. 3-3 the score after 2 period.
3rd period saw Frontliners went ahead 3 goals in the first 10 minutes. With the score at 6-3 and with 10 minutes left, the 8cers coach called for a time out and gave his team a talk to boost their morale and with a few new strategies the game resume. Many didnt know or predicted the next 10 minutes will be like the 2nd half of the 2005 Football European Championship Final.
In quick succession, Samuel the captain netted his first goal before Andy Goh calmly slotted a penatly after a lying play by a Spartan's player. With barely 1 minute left on the clock, John Chia Shen broke Spartans heart by equalizing to bring the score to 6-6.
At final whistle, this draw proved more than just a single point for Ztec. For 8cers it was a point to prove to Penang that they were not there just to make the numbers. With high morale they look forward for their next match against the Unihawks.
