The ‘B’ Division had another opportunity to play against a strong team in the form of Teck Whye Secondary School. With almost the entire squad made up of hockey players as well, they were technically and tactically very good. It was a good challenge for the boys to see how well they can match up in terms of the intensity and game play. The match was slightly delayed due to a traffic jam, but they finally made their way to the court for an exciting game.

It did not take long for the match to go into full swing. Samuel drew first blood with a swift turn and shot which eluded the goalkeeper. Darrell kept his composure to score after being put through with only the goalkeeper to beat to add to the tally. After the break, there was no slowing down of the pace and both teams went all out to try to score some goals. Teck Whye finally scored the solitary goal in the second period.
