After a quite difficult game against I.ROBOT, lost 27-13, we were back on the pitch this Saturday 2nd of November to challenge the champion of last year's division 2, Tuen Mun.
With them losing by only 1 goal against I.ROBOT, and having some large size players, we were motivated and ready to give our best!
After another drama with the referees because of the front number of our new jerseys, we were ready to play in our beebs and turn this stupid issue into our first win.
And there it was. With a fantastic start, a very strong defense on our side, we were leading 3-0 after only 2 minutes. Attack was smooth and accurate, which never really happened so far! Our opponents were having some issue finding solutions, scoring their first goal after only 6 minutes. Thankfully for them, out attack started missing some open shoots and we let them come back on us at 5-4.
But for once, we were the one deciding to pass the 2nd gear, and in 10 minutes, scored a 7-1 to take a safe distance before the half time. With a few substitutions and time out, we ended the first half on the score of 14-6. Probably the best 30 minutes of handball we played this season.
Decided to not give away this advance and stay focus, we strengthened the defense to balance our fail and inactivity in attack. After 15 minutes in the 2nd half, the score was only 16-9 and our opponents of the day started to give up as well as getting angry.
A few 2 minutes penalty started to be given away, as well as 1 red card per team. It has to be noted that the referees managed quite well and didn't let the things go bad.
And a few minutes later and some stress, the final blow arrived, confirming our first victory of the season, 21-13.
Overall, a great game, fantastic mentality and motivation. There is always some things to improve, but we definitely see the results of the trainings. We need to keep going on, especially with 3 games coming that are must win!
Highlights of the game for Jake, our keeper, who probably stopped more than half the shoots, Eric, best scorer with 8 goals, Jack, Jens and Benoit, for their attack/defense rotation that went well!
Big thanks to all the players and supporters, for being there and playing or not, being motivated!
We have another few trainings scheduled, we hope to see everyone there to keep the momentum and continue our wins strike!
