Friendly Against Springfield's Junior College

The team that played against Springfield's

Tennis + Ice Hockey + Wrestling = Floorball. This is the best phrase to describe the friendly between Ztec B and Springfield's Junior College. However, there were a couple of good play by both teams. Springfield with almost the whole team playing less than a year and Ztec B with 3 quarter of them less than half a year started the battle at 7.40 pm at Dalat Gymnasium. The game was played with 4period, 15mins each with effective time.

Ztec B had a few familiar faces between them with the likes of Jo Wyee, Oliver, Ken Wye, Joon Han and Yung Ming featuring. In the first period the match was quite close ending 3-1. with #17 Jo Wyee hitting a brace and team captain #6 Oliver scoring his first. Springfield's hit one goal back during a powerplay after a very messy defending by Ztec B in the box.

In the 2nd period, Ztec B hit 6 more goals in as they continue to work on their defence. By the third period it was almost over for them as Ztec B hit in another 8 goals. At the end of 4th period, the score was 20-1 (3-1, 6-0, 8-0, 3-0) to Ztec B. #7 Ken Wye played a superb game netting twice and supplying many assist to the team. #5 Jack scored a superb halfway line goal. Or was it not on purpose? hmmm... Danial hit in 3 goals and in the process made history by becoming the club's youngest goalscorer.

Eventhough the big win, Ztec had fail to achieve its main aim of that day. Nevertheless, Termin was happy that his team emerge victorious. Ztec B has still a long way to go to work on improving their mistakes.

The following was the scorer list:
Period 1
Jo Wyee, Oliver, Jo Wyee

Period 2
Ken Wye, Danial, Wei Jin, Jo Wyee, Jack, Danial

Period 3

Asia vs Europe

Finally we're back from KL for the much waited friendly match featuring the Malaysian team against the 'Scandinavian All Star Team" It was a much tiring but a great experience in both matches.

On the first day, the Malaysian National team played the Scandinavians with a 'almost full team'. Missing 3 players from Penang who only reached that night. It was quite an easy win for the Scandinavians as they beat Malaysia 9 goals to 3 with a superb 3 period slap shot by their 'star' Finland's Jenni Morottaja. Besides that, our national goalie Linken did superb with many good saves to keep the score lower than a nightmare.

On the second day, the national team was playing with full strength and this time it was a hard fought game with Malaysia roaring in the 3rd period. At the end of the final whistle, it was Scandinavian All Star (9-6) Malaysia. After that, we had a penalty shootout where Malaysia won 3-1. Malaysia's game play surely improved in the 2nd game. The movement was better the passing was better. Yet we never know if we really played better or the Scandinavians were still high on alcohol as they went partied the previous night at 'Luna Bar'.

As for behind the scene actions, it was a great bonding for the national players as half of them stayed together. Many targets must still be achieve before we we consider going to Korea in 2009. One of the target of bonding session is to be able to dare have "Fat-er-Pipe-Shower-Party". Besides that, its all serious and hard work for the Malaysians as they again plan for their 2009 campaign.

As for the 3 Ztec players, they all did pretty well in the friendly with Jo Wyee grabbing a hat-trick in the 2nd match, TerMin getting a double and Oliver making a history for himself. If u want to know what is the history Oliver made, ask anybody who went down to KL. Expecially Jason Selva and Linken. They can tell u best.



Hurray!!
