What a game.. what a game.. wow.. what a game...
Its true.. Temasek Hockey has entered the final of the Singapore Hockey Federation Div 3 Promotion Final.. Power.. And what a game to bring us to the final... After a bad game by Man U the previous day.. haha.. 4-3.... Temasek took the lead FOUR Times.. I cant forget the jubilation and joy on hearing the final whistle.. and the Tornadoes slammin their sticks on the floor.. Coach Nirmal shouting and screaming away.. all the young kids went after him and hugged him like disciples to their master.. it was indeed a grand show by the coach.. I as a keeper made few impt saves yet conceded 3 goals.. so somethings to improve on.. but still crucial saves.. what a game..it was pure unbridled chaos and pandaemonium!! what a game!! Flash points....
Game started with veera on the sub bench and huzer still wearin his shin pads.. game goes on
short corner to Temasek.. Coach Nirmal hits it straight at the keepers pads.. and his second swipe crushed the defenders hands.. so foul.. that was the chance gone..
short corner to tornadoes due to some silly mistake... drag flick by malaysian who a real menace the whole game.. to the referee as well as the team Temasek.. Drag flick saved by Keeper Manish.. first save of the game.. power!!
next short corner to Temasek.. Nirmal hits and scores.. 1 nil to Temasek...
short corner to Tornadoes.. Drag flick taken by Malaysian.. and goal.. Keeper was caught out to the ball being unsighted and sheer pace of the ball... 1-1...
short corner to temasek.. zarir stops out of coach's range.. he improvises and sweeps the ball in for a 2-1....Half time.. with a green card to malaysian.. one of our best halfs ever played in TEmasek jerseys...
Second half starts with poor defensive clearance by Coach.. he is dispossessed.. Striker runs straight towards to Keeper Manish.. squares the ball.. deflects of Keeper's Pads... yet Malaysian is there for the rebound...2-2...
Moment of the game.. Marrick with ball with stick in the D.. Keeper comes chargin out all guns blazin ready to destroy anythin in its path.. and what did he do.. Simply uncalled for.. Unforgivable.. cannonballed into marrick and the defender.. Flick.. Azri steps and scores agst the inadequately padded up stand in keeper... Power..3-2...Next is a series of events that simply show the unpredictability of Temasek.. Jigar got a lambastin from Coach Nirmal for stealin his ball.. Jigar turns away.. and smiles.. Nirmal is pissed and calls his name again.. Now he acknowledges his mistake and moves on a jinkin run aka Moritz Volz style.. almost ends in a goal..another short corner to Tornadoes.. This time around Azri makes a goal line save.. Power to Azri.. Then another moment.. Ball comes Flyin to the post.. Keeper makes a deflected save.. yet the follow up hits azri.. and its a flick!!!!... Up stands Malaysian zooms the ball to the right.. 3-3... Temasek cant believe their luck.. Final Whistle.. Golden goal is next....
Marrick is out.. Teck Gin is out.. Huzer is out of gas... Nirmal has a twisted ankle and bloody fingers..Robin has a sore chin.. Jigar got elbowed.. Manish is wondering what will happen if it goes to flicks again.. Booom!!!!!!! Nirmal from a set piece intelligently set up by Right back jigar.. Takes a swipe.. Ball deflects of a Tornadoes player and into the far post!!! That was it to spark a roar of simply unimaginable joy and orgasm!!!!! It was purely pure.. it was humungous.. it was simply out of this world.. it was worth playing for.. it was worth it.. it was just simply Temasek... 4-3 to Temasek!!! Tornadoes the league leaders are out.....
Oct 14th at the Delta Stadium.. Be there or miss out on the greatest final in TEmasek History... TTTTTTTTTTEeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply amazing! Grit and determination won us the game. We weren't lucky, we won it by pure merit and kudos to us for showing the real Temasek spirit when it matters. We proved again that it wasn't skill that matters, we just wanted to win it...it helps too, knowing we didn't have anything to lose compared to Tornadoes with all the hoo-haa about the Malaysian dribbler. Maybe they came to the game knowing they have already reached the final considering they luckily (or unluckily) met us rather than ORA or Khalsa. Complacency probably. Any team who wants to know how to beat Tornadoes and stop the Malaysian dribbler should have watched our game (apart from NYP, we are the only team to beat them). All this time playing hockey with Temasek since my Jc years was worth it, finally.
Last hurrah now for us guys...again, being underdogs and not considered a threat in the division at the start of the season (i still remember the first game of the season when we lost 2-0 to tornadoes, damn shack game cos we didnt have any subs so all the 11 guys had to play full game and for me it was a first time playing a full-game after 3 years!!! and i never played a full-game before!shack sia!), we have nothing to lose, so lets give everything to the final game at Delta. We are already winners by being in the final (got medal!! yay!!). Lets do it for Temasek!!!
By the way, i realise that i am the only ever-present temasek player throughout the season... hahaha...came on-field in all the games. yay! (another achievement for me!!hahaha).
looks like i won't be retiring from hockey after all.
