Labour Day Review ZTEC 1 : Good, But Not Good Enough

The day started with much anticipation with ZTEC 1 first match being their archrivals with Innebandy! Co. The fight was very intense, creating high tension in both teams causing chaos on court. History would reveal that the few previous labour day challenges, ZTEC always seemed to fall short of victory coming in 2nd. The coaches and managers of ZTEC were hoping and aiming to end this drought. ZTEC 1 gave their all by playing hard and smart bringing the ZTEC spirit into the competition. Though ZTEC lost to Innebandy! Co. They made a come back when they played against Dalat and NTU with a score line of 8-2 against Dalat and 2-1 against NTU. The match against NTU proved to be the best ZTEC had played in the whole tournament. It was against NTU that the giant known as ZTEC awakened with roaring spirits and thundering enthusiasm, ZTEC giving NTU a match worth playing with NTU coming all the way from Singapore. They came with one purpose in mind and that was to play floorball...and played they did. Kudos to NTU for performing as they did. What a way to end the first day of competition.

Thus the semifinals began. Facing Dalat Portbelly Pirates we showed no mercy beating them 11-0 . However, we gotta admire Dalats never say die mentality. No matter what the scoreline was, Dalat never backed down they kept playing with all hope, all energy and all heart. Congratulations to Dalat, you are winners in our eyes. And now for the finale, if this were to be a culinary show then this would be the Crème de la Crème of floorball matches! If this were a musical theatre production, at this point in time the maestro of the orchestra would be building the music to the peak!! If this were a movie, this would be the part where the final showdown takes place.

Silence on court..the referee's are ready, the players are ready and the whistle sounds.

As the game went on the cheers and jeers of the crowds grew louder, it was a time of mixed emotions. There was pain, there was blood, there was stress, pressure and lots and lots of sweat. Unfortunately, ZTEC found themselves to be a goal down, they did whatever they could, pushed as hard as pushing can go but. But, time did not permit the regaining of that one goal. Therefore, history repeated itself, what do you learn from this? History Bites, Big Time. We may have lost the battle but the war is yet to begin, Penang League Division 1 coming soon. Crushed spirits? Broken heart? I say NAY!!! Down and depressed? No way!! For we are ZTEC, Fire comes out from our hearts and lightning bolts from our feet, as we run past an shoot as a team, we play for one team, with the same passion. We play for ZTEC.

Let me hear it again!! Let the whoosh sound on high!!! 1...2...Whoosh!!ZTEC 1
