hello girls!

finally i have the time to write something here. haha! anw, it might probably been quite some time for me to say what i want to say, but i know some of you girls are still smilling and can't forget what happened back last week. so yeah.

firstly, CONGRATS to the girls for bringing the glory yet again for the third consecutive years! great achievements! CONGRATS to the guys too for winning the bronze. some of them might say it's ntg much compared to the girls but THE GIRLS GLORY BELONGS TO THE GUYS TOO! we're all as a team afterall!

next, i would say that im REALLY PROUD of this team. opponents out there can throw comments on us having difficulties in defending our title this year. they can say nyp girls depend heavily on their key players. but look at what you girls have just done! just see for yourself what happened on friday's game. you girls did an AWESOME JOB!

i might not be there physically to support you girls, but my heart, mind and soul are always with the team. if i could have clon myself, i would have been there with you girls. no joke.

i might not be there to watch the game. there might not be live reports to read, there might not be full video on the game. so on and so forth. but i know all of you did a great job during the game. giving all out. DEFEND LIKE SOLDIERS, ATTACK LIKE CANNON BALLS! that last game tells it all about our team. pat can run everywhere and not fall for that one game! clarisse might have a quiet game in the start, but she finally scored! not 1 but 2 goals! the coach might be shouting from the bench at times to guide us, but just see how much she can't stop smiling when we play so well for our games!

we trained so hard, work together as a team, fall as a team. and now, WE WON THE TITLE AS TEAM TOO! there's no words for me to describe how proud i am and love this team. and i really hope we can keep this positive spirit all the way till IVP ;)

lastly, trg will resume soon. mimi and i will try and come out with something as a celebration for the achievement. will try our best. but ideas are always welcome. just let us know ;)

so, replenish your energy and we'll see each other again real soon ;)

hi girls!

tomorrow will mark our last game and also this year POL-ITE. there will be crowd in the hall just like how it was during our first game. perhaps, there will be more. however, NEVER ALLOW EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECT YOUR USUAL GAME. just keep your focus. put your heart, mind & soul into the game and enjoy it! patience is all it takes. no pressure girls. whatever the outcome is, that's secondary.

importantly the way WE PLAY TOGETHER,

THE WAY WE SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER,

THE WAY WE STAND ON OUR FEET BACK AGAIN

and lastly, MEET OUR OBJECTIVE OF THE DAY AS A TEAM!

we've been through different kinds of situation this season. tough matches, bad calls from the ref, pressure from opponents and many more. but i certainly believe these factors turned us into a stronger team with more determination each time we enter the court.

just 1 more game to go and we're done this season. let's go there with confidence and come back with achievements in our hands.

LET'S GO NYP!

Nanyang Polytechnic move closer to title with win over Temasek Poly in women’s POL-ITE floorball
October 20, 2008

Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) took another step to retaining their Polytechnic-Institute of Technical Education (POL-ITE) Women Floorball Championship crown when they beat Temasek Polytechnic (TP) 3-0 comfortably.

NYP started strongly as #28 immediately went for a shot which went just over the TP goal. TP on the other hand had the lively #5 leading the charge and she looked dangerous whenever a chance was given to her.

As the period unfolded, both side were evenly matched and there was action all around the court. TP nearly scored soon when their #11 intercepted the NYP #12 in an awkward position and went for a shot. Fortunately for the NYP player, the shot ricocheted off her stick and went wide of goal.

TP then went on a rampage of attacks as their #34 and #11 caused the NYP defense lots of problems, with the impressive #5 also distributing the ball well to help in their attack. NYP #9, who was unusually quiet, suddenly burst into life as she took the ball and beat the whole TP defense before squaring a pass to #22 who could not capitalize as she mishit her wrist shot. The first period ended 0-0 with TP putting up an excellent attacking display.

The second period started with NYP surprising everyone by taking an unexpected lead after misunderstanding between the TP goalie and defender about the collection of a ball. Seeing a chance, NYP #67 sneaked in and put the ball past the TP goalie in the confusion.

NYP looked more certain in attack after that goal and they scored a second soon after when the NYP #9 picked up a stray ball from a goal mouth scramble and simply tapped it past the TP goalie for a 2-0 lead.

NYP almost scored again, but #7 shot hit the post after she found herself in lots of space. The NYP #9 then started to work her magic as she made full use of her superior speed to torment the TP defense.

TP then came back to life as they started to force NYP back into their own defensive half, with #5 again pivotal in attack for TP as she created chance after chance. The TP #33 also started to make good use of her bigger size against her smaller counterparts, winning the ball for TP on many occasions. TP continued strong but the NYP goalie refused to allow anything past with several crucial saves.

The third and final period was more of the same with NYP #9 being a thorn in the side of the TP defense, as she was constantly running at them and leading the attack for her team. TP were just as combative, the TP #5 again giving the whole of the NYP defense trouble. Though she had many chances, the NYP goalie was equal to everyone of them. TP continued to dominate possession but to no avail.

The final blow then arrived for TP when one rare NYP foray upfront reaped a goal. This goal was all about #20 as she dribbled her way in, took a shot and got to her own rebound to make it 3-0.

TP then took off the goalie and fielded a sixth outfield player for the final 20 seconds of the game as they went in search of that consolation goal. But it was all too late and the buzzer sounded for a 3-0 NYP win.

This was a hard lesson for TP in the finishing department. If they had been as clinical as NYP in attack given their numerous chances, they would have left the court smiling instead of NYP.

Nanyang Polytechnic edge out Republic Poly in women’s POL-ITE floorball October 11, 2008.

Story By REDintern Wong Hong Yong.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Wednesday, 8th October, 2008 - Last season’s Polytechnic-Institute of Technical Education (POL-ITE) floorball champions Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) beat Republic Polytechnic (RP) 2-0 earlier this week.

NYP attacked from the start and RP tried to break on the counter whenever they had a chance but were usually stopped in their tracks by the quicker NYP girls. The relentless pressure by NYP eventually paid off, as NYP #7 converted after receiving a pass from a free hit. The shot took a wicked deflection off RP’s #24 and into the goal with the goalie diving in another direction for a 1-0 lead. First blood to NYP.

RP seemed to be kicked into life by that conceded goal. They started to assert themselves in the game and had most of the possession. They went on the attack but the NYP players defended well and calmly as they held back wave after wave of RP attacks. As the period wore on however, there wasn’t much attacking going on as the ball kept changing possession in the middle of the court. NYP nearly increased their lead as they flashed a shot just wide of goal at the buzzer.

RP started the second period stronger as they fought for every ball and pushed up for every attack. RP #8 seemed particularly determined to get to the ball. However, NYP’s refusal to relinquish the lead showed, as they fought their counterparts muscle for muscle and with #9 and #7 having great understanding in the attack. NYP got another chance, as the impressive and lightning quick NYP #9 flashing a drag shot wide of the goal.

RP were employing their board passes very well, and they were able to put the ball into dangerous attacking positions. But their inability to get anyone at the end of the pass often meant that the NYP goalie was not troubled. NYP on the other hand were looking contented to soak up the RP pressure and going on the counter whenever they had the chance.

RP #22 then missed a sitter as she could only put her shot wide of the goal, with only the goalie to beat. NYP’s counter attacking strategy then paid off. While RP was too absorbed in attacking, NYPs #9 played a simple through ball, which evaded all of the RP players, and reached her #11 who made a slap shot which whizzed past the helpless RP goalie and into the goal. The period ended with the RP players thinking what could have been had they been more clinical in front of the goal.

RP’s refusal to accept defeat really showed in this half as they pressed NYP hard for every ball. One of their strong performers of the night, #6 had a great shot attempt saved by the NYP goalie.

RP then went close again with their #24 whose shot went just over the goal. The game seem to move into another level as the speed and intensity increased, but there was to be no goals as both side wasted whatever chances they had.

When the game ended 2-0 in favour of NYP, RP were left disappointed as they knew things could have been different if they had not wasted their chances.
