"Lesson Learned" - ZTEC 8CERS vs Frontliners Spartans
Twas an ''interesting'' and ''phenomenal'' day, highly dramatic and full of twists just like a movie would have. Many mixed feelings, as Ztec entered the arena from negativity to bad dreams the night before. Dreams such as scoring an own goal, losing 25-o, getting injured and many more. It was the 1st time that anyone, in a long long time, has seen Ztec under perform. We went onto the court prepared for what seemed to be a match already won. That was the problem, that was the moment the downfall began. The team was overly confident and allowed their heads to grow highly out of proportion, we became arrogant, and ignorant.
The match began....
The team went all out to try and score the 1st goal, however it was mostly individuality there was no team spirit, there was no team play and no team... All of a sudden without expecting it, frontliners placed the ball in the back of our net. The team and everyone else (spectators) were dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen? How could this be, what was going on? That was the question in everyones mind. It was very obvious from that point on that the mental strenght of the players dropped drastically. That did not stop Ztec from pressing on, although we had significantly less players than the opponent, tired out, we gave it all we had. Just before the end of the 1st period we bagged an equalizer, the goal was scored by our very own ironman Sherwynd Kessler. KUDOS TO SHERWYND..! We continued to play hard but still not playing as a team, thus the end of the 1st period came.As the players walked out, it was clear to see that hearts were crushed mental dropped, anger and frustration started to kick in.We tried to figure out what was going on the coaches spoke expressing their feelings about how we should play as a unit instead of an individual, we encouraged one an other, put our hands together and with a thunderous roar gave a cheer that would lift our spirits.
The 2nd half began..
Bad positioning cost Ztec a 2 goal lead by Frontliners, forwards drifted to high up leaving the defenders no where to go and no one to pass to, all they could do was to dribble it up themselves or play in their own half. This was a smack in the head for Ztec as frontliners scored 2 goals boasting the scorline for Frontliners 3-1. Ztec needed to do something, to come up with a plan and they needed to do it fast as time was running out. Many thought it was impossible, but the Ztec's captain (Oliver) took matters into his own hands, dribbling past the players of Frontliners and scoring from distance, giving Ztec a glimmer of hope. The forwards for Ztec were still no where to be found, giving Ztec defenders a hard time. Somehow Ztec started, towards the end, to play as a team. The defenders for Ztec started passing among themselves luring Frontliners forwards to commit into stealing the ball. Then it HAPPENED!! Like the crack of the whip, a burst of lightning, faster than the mind could conceive, a counter attack was in motion, allowing Jo-Wyee to score a crucial equalizer for Ztec assisted by Oliver. Ztec tried to go for more than a draw, but it wasn't their day, luck just werent on their side. After many atempts and oppurtunities of scoring, the horn blew loud in the arena. Giving a final score of a 3-3 draw between Spartans and 8cers.
This was truly unexpected, but in everything there is a lesson to be learned, in this case, it is pride do not let pride go to your heads. If you think you are good, there is always someone better than you. Anything can happen in the game. In floorball as an individual, you wont go far, but as a team you can go the distance.
To all who are Ztec, let this soak into your hearts and into your minds, play hard and play smart and most importantly play as a TEAM. To 8cers, do not let this match keep you down, instead let it be a reminder that we need one and other out there. Be encouraged, for we are proud of you, we will make a comeback in our next game, lets make sure of that. We will roar louder, we will fight harder, and we will give our opponents a game to remember.
The definition of a Juggernaut is this:
1. Unstoppable, crushing all in its path.
2. A collective team or group working as one
Ztec 8cers, You are JUGGERNAUTS...So play like one..! 1...2...Whoossh!!

''Over The Ant Hill'' Contact Fireants VS Ztec 8cers
Upon arrival at the arena, 8cers walked in together full of confidence, motivated with high spirits, with the urge to get the game going, ready for battle. Thus, warm ups began. With a few passes followed by warm up drills the team prepared their minds and their bodies for what might have been one of the most grueling and demanding matches to date.
So it begins...The whistle blows...The team huddles up...
The coaches gave some last minute words of encouragement and reminders of tactical play ups as well as strategies. Hands held high as one team, and with a thundering roar....WHOOSHH!!
The game starts...
It has been a custom for Ztec as whole to start a match at a very slow pace. It has happened many times, noticed by many people, but the tables have turned. Ztec started with a burst of energy, fast as lightning, the sleeping lion has awakened, bagging 2 goals in the 1st minute. An awesome start from Ztec and goals by Jo-Wyee and Ter Min. After much celebration, the game resumes.
The pace of the game and the game itself was controlled by Ztec from that point on, leaving Contact rendered. However players from Contact fought back amazingly giving Ztec a very physical and demanding game. That shows the respect both teams have for each by going all out. Good job Contact Fireants!! Unfortunately, Ztec speed and agility outplayed the opponents. Still in the 1st period of the match, Ztec scored 2 more goals, one from Jo-Wyee and a volley from Oliver assisted by Jeremy who took a shot from half court.
8cers' line 2 did an amazing job at defending and sticking with their opponents giving them a tough time of scoring. Sjaiful, Hafidz, and Daniel Cheah controlled the game from the back, waiting for oppurtunities to play the ball up. Upon receving the oppurtunity line 2 burst and countered their opponents but were unable to put in the ball at the back of the net. Moy, Ken Wye and Sherwynd gave their all at retreaving the ball and trying to score and that is what the coaches want to see, the heart and the determination.
Contact managed to score a goal, however it was disallowed by the referees due to a foul commited the shot was taken and the whistle being blown. Kudos to Contact for trying.
2nd Half..!!
After some words by the coaches and senior players, Ztec was all pumped up with their minds ready and the hearts wanting the win. It was Ztec 8cers objective to score 7 goals that night. And managed to do so. Jo-Wyee being the rebounder followed the game plan and played high up in the opponents court, with that managing to score 2 more goals assisted by Ter Min for the team. Apart from that, the night wasn't over. We knew we could at least salvage one more...AND WE DID. A tremendous solo effort by Jun Wooi placed the ball in the goal. And there you have it, 7 goals scored just as we planned. All play ups and free hits were pre-planned and carried out to perfection. Kudos to ''The Merdeka'', although not a goal, left the opponents dumbfounded and lost for a split second, almost conceiding another goal, but only managed to hit the side netting.
Looking forward for more...!!
To all players, great job and great effort!! To the KL players who came down specially to play we owe you a great deal of thanks. Cant wait to play again.To Adrian, Jack and Teik Hong and everyone who helped, terima kasih banyak-banyak. To ZTEC supporters, although few and limited sound levels, we appreciat your presents there. We played for you, we played for ourselves, and we played for ZTEC. One...Two...WHOOSHH!!
