The second game of the tournament was against Teck Whye Secondary School. This will be a game many of the players have at the back of their minds, given that we lost narrowly during a friendly match with them. However, they also knew that the friendly match can only be an indicator of how the opponents will play. The result will not figure in today’s encounter. It was a surprise that the boys were slow off the starting block and put themselves under unnecessary pressure right from the first whistle.

Following the win last weekend, the team was keen to put in another good performance today against Daredevils. There were several familiar faces as the opponents arrived at Choa Chu Kang Sports Hall and we recognized some of them as former players from Si Ling Secondary School. The team was quietly confident of their chances and knew that a favourable result is definitely within their grasp so long as they play according to plan. After a short delay to register the players, the game was on.

This is the moment the boys have all been waiting for – their first match in the National Inter-School Floorball Championships. After a long pre-season period of training, the team is finally ready to face the competition. Catholic High School travelled to Victoria School to face off against Canberra Secondary School in the group’s opening encounter. Having beaten them a year ago, the boys were quietly confident of their chances. However, complacency was far from their minds as they focused on playing well foremost.

After anticipating the start of Division 4 for this year for months, the team finally got to play their first game today at Choa Chu Kang Sports Hall. The team comprises mostly the ‘B’ Division players as well as 9 alumni players from NJC. The new make up of the team showed promise as we look to better our performances from the previous season. A short training in the morning preceded the match to prepare the team, and it proved fruitful as they got to play in their lines before the game.

The final friendly before the holiday break would be against Coral Secondary School. Everyone was looking forward to the match as they had played against them last year and lost. This time round, they will want to see if they have improved over the year and went about the pre-match routines with a little more enthusiasm than usual. The opponents were missing a few key players due to overseas holiay, but still proved to be a match for us, showing that they are always capable of getting results.
