1st match for me in the SHL, I feel so good after the match but i'm injured..
Saturday, July 17, 2010


Finally woke up at 230pm after sleeping back several times.
This time I have to wake up or else I will be late for my game later.
Have to meet Daryl and company at Sengkang and go CCAB together.
Went to prepare myself before I have my lunch.
After I’m done packing my stuffs into the bag and finished my lunch, walked to take 87 at 151.
Board it and have something light on the bus.
Reached Sengkang before 4pm as told and Syafiq arrived soon after I reached.
Bought some chocolates for some sugar rush for later’s game against SJI Barkerites.
Took 156 to CCAB, long journey !! Is there another route ?
Reached there at about 5pm and changed but we cannot use our jersey for today’s match as they will be wearing green too. Wear it for tomorrow’s match then.
After we have changed, we realized that our match will be push forward to 7pm.
Went to warm-up at about 6pm before our match starts.
After that, we were told to gather around and Azam told us the line-up for the day.
What kind of tactics we will be playing in this game.
We will be facing secondary school kids but we shouldn’t underestimate them as some of them might be better than us and they are not new to this composure.
I’m playing forward and I’m in the first team !! So glad to start the match as a forward.
Whistle goes, did some passes around and maintain our processions.
Finally, a pass came from Rezal, received by me and back to him.. He scored !!
I didn’t expect I will be able to make such a pass back to him and finally the first scorer and assister for RP were finally on the scoresheet.
I was in the list. Looking at those kids playing with us, we are leading so everyone was somehow like expects to be more aggressive for the rest of the game.
Until this moment, their coach came into the pitch as a substitute and scored 2 goals within 10minutes. Everyone will thinks it's unfair but we must face it.
I believed that moment for the team was demoralizing because we somehow lost the lead within 10minutes. It's so tough for us to get the goal but now it's different already.
No matter what, we must somehow get this one back.
Sounds unfair for a coach to play with us but it’s eligible for the league as he doesn’t play for any clubs so we cannot lodge any complains against them.
First half ended just like that, we were behind SJI Barkerites 2 – 1..
Second half started in no time, change of tactics.. Did what I have been told.
Suddenly, when I was somehow pressuring this defender who is in front of me, he swept the ball with his stick and I don’t have enough time to dodge it so I got hit on my ankle.
I can feel the impact after being hit by the stick but I thought I can still stand up on my feet.
The moment I stood up after I fell, I fell back and cried for help as I raised my hand.
No one eventually came and assist me until one of my teammates came and help me.
It’s fact, we were been told Hockey is a dangerous sports and our opponents won’t give any chance, “ They rather score than giving you any chance. “
It means that if your face is in front of the ball, they will just whack it and score.
Thought that I will be able to walk out of the pitch but in the end, I need Azam and Nasa’s assistance for me to get out of the pitch.
Let’s get to the point, injuries in hockey games is small things.
Rubbed my ankle with some ices and wear my shoes immediately and told Azam “ I’m fit to play, I need to be at the frontline. “
He substituted me into the game after 5minutes and we really tried very hard to get back into the game, when I was out of the pitch, SJI scored their 3rd goal which means that we have to get 2 back to equalize the game and get the 1st point of this campaign.
Nasa scored the 2nd goal for RP making the score now 3 – 2, so we need 1 more to equalize it and 2 more to win this game. In the end, we cannot find the net with our shots.
Soon after he scored, I was once again hit by another player and this time on my right thumb.
It happened when I’m having the ball and he just came from my right side and whack my right hand, i fell and i let go of my stick because i don't have any energy to hold it after i got hit.
After I got hit, I was somehow kneeling down holding my right hand as my stick already flew because I let go of it after I was being hit.
Once again thought that nothing has happened so I went up and take my stick but I realised that I don’t have any feelings for my right hand and it was bleeding.
I was very unhappy that the umpire did nothing for that challenge made.
I was having the ball but he just barge into me and tackle me.
It’s obviously a foul and a card must be given to him for the dangerous challenge.
In the end, nothing happened and the game goes on..
Walked out of the pitch myself and asked someone to replace me.
Washed my wounds while complaining about that challenge to my teammates.
Before the game ends, Nasa was injured too.. He was hit by the ball.
In the end, we lost the game 4 – 2 with 2 injuries.
We indeed lost the game but the score doesn’t matter because it’s the experience which counts, if we lost all 10 matches in this league, it doesn't matter.
We are the freshest team in this league and our motive of joining this is to make use of this chance and play with other experienced teams for experience.
Not important for us to win the game but if we are capable of winning, why not ?
Went to shower after that before going to Mr.Prata for late dinner.
After that, walked to the bus-stop and realised there’s 66 and it means that I have straight bus home, very happy as i can reach home early because i'm tired.
Reached home at about 1130pm and used com.
Really exhausted so went to wash-up and sleep. Goodnights everyone..
Done :D:D Tomorrow we will be facing the POLICE.. Good luck guys.. Rest well..
