After the disappointing loss on Monday, the team was determined to make up for it today. Having played Raffles Institution in a friendly before, the boys knew what to expect, and nothing but a good performance will do if they were to get something from this game. Raffles Institution on the other hand, have already qualified for the semi-finals and will be looking to secure first place in the group. They will not be expected to take this game easily however, and will be likely to go all out for the win.

Recently I have asked myself, what is the ideal floorball team, not in terms of the individual, but in terms of the style of play. Having played and watched countless games over the years, a concept following the famous total football pioneered by Dutch football club Ajax Amsterdam, began to evolve in my mind.

In a crucial match that could determine the ambitions of the team, Catholic High School faced off against Northbrooks Secondary School, who had already lost their two previous matches. A victory is a must for the team if we were to show our intent to the rest of the challengers. Nothing short of a top level performance would be sufficient as the opponents will definitely throw everything at us in this match. However, it was not to be as the team put in a terrible defence for the game.

Having put in so much effort to qualify for the second round, the team was not going to let Northland Secondary School have it easy today. The boys made sure they prepared themselves mentally for a tough game in the lead up to the match. For all the preparations, it looked as though we were spot on with our tactics and strategies as the first period ended goalless. Both sides traded shot for shot, but Eugene was more than equal to the task as he kept them out of our goal.

We were to face Canberra Secondary School for our final Group E match today. A win would be sufficient to see us through to the next round. Any other result would mean the end of the season for this year. We arrived early to the venue and being the first game of the day, we had the luxury of using the court for our warm up. Before long, it was time for the face off and the instructions given by the coach was to play our normal game and score as many goals as possible.
