MAN OF THE MATCH
Veera
- Wielding the Bollywood version of Excalibur, King Veera used Excalibra to great effect on the battlefield. The mere sight of him (if you can see him) and his stick put such tremendous amount of stress on the opposing defenders that plenty of opportunities are created for his team-mates to score. His dogged style of playing is a personification of how HC wants NUS teams to play. Determined to win the ball at all cost and clearly enjoying the physical game, we are all waiting to see who is the next unfortunate victim that he will slay.

MATCH DEBRIEF - BY EDWIN GOH
Forwards
Had a turkey shoot today, judging by the double digit of the number of goals we put in. Put plenty of stress on opposing defenders with their constant pressurizing and caused them to dump the ball. Lots of good one-twos but need to hit the target more often as well as get into the box more often to get rebounds.

Centers
Good support play and movement into spaces. However, they are sometimes caught off guard once or twice (i.e. fail to mark top D) and let their forwards take free shots. Luckily they are bobo shooters.

Defenders
Had an unimpressive start to the game but tightened up as the game goes on. Plenty of shooting from distance as well as box outs.

Goalkeeper
Plenty of good saves. Saved our ars with his ars when we sold him out behind the goal. His far throws created many anxious moments for Squirrels

Overall
Squirrels failed to keep their cool in the third period and let in an avalanche of goals. Lesson for us is not to let the game/ref decisions affect our play. Even if we are chasing the match, stick to the game plan and continue playing. There is no point challenging the referee; it will only work against ourselves.

Quote of the game: More goals, more pain (adapted from the Visa advertisement of 'more birds, more luck'?

Now that we won "THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH OF THE SEASON", we will be preparing for the "THE MOST MOST IMPORTANT MATCH OF THE SEASON" against Schools which will decide our fate. We will be doing man-marking on Wednesday; be there or be square =)
