Best player:
Michael Cheah. The man who orchestrated 300's surprising surge in Div 2.
With less than a year of Floorball experience behind him, coming into the league, the boy has shown tremendous progress in the game. He possess decent ball control and a wicked drag shot for his age. He was supposed to be reserved as a 'secret weapon' for Frontliners' Div 1 campaign.
However, Coach Ming Hwee decided to include him in Div 2 and it changed the whole script of the league, almost landing them the jackpot.
Almost.
Although he still lacks in vision and distribution of the ball, Michael, who was mainly deployed as a centre, was up for the task and evidently, played an influential role in all 300's result.
Well, maybe it shocked the teams at first but as the league progressed, Michael lost much of his magic. His game was too predictable which saw him frequently neutralised by his opponents. Moreover, the burden as the team 'saviour' may have been too immense for a lad his age to handle.
Nevertheless, this is still his first outing, jitters are common. With more of nurturing, we might see another rising star.
Borak says:
The team was predicted to sink to the bottom, even below debutant Firebrands. Why? It was first thought that Firebrands' muscles will power through the girls and kids of 300's. Who would know that 300 have their own trick under their sleeves?
Introducing M2M - Mekanath and Michael.
The former had early first hand experience in last year's Div 1 and was Spartans' top scorer; while the latter was a newly discovered talent. For whatever reasons, Mekanath was demoted and Michael was included, it changed the whole playing field of Div 2.
300's backline was made up of newbie goalie Soon Khai. A promising beginner who at times was dead solid but also had his own fair share of madness, misfortune and mishaps.
The defenders on the other hand were all ladies, with Sonia Gopal and June Kew as regulars while Roselyn Ewe and Tania Loke standing in. The girls were pretty ok overall but struggle to contain stronger, tougher male counteparts.
With Michael leading the frontline as a center and his main forwards, Mekanath, Julian Tan and Tristan, 300 spring up one of the surprise of the league by beating contenders Bullets by 3-0 after an encourgaing performance against Falcons.
However, they failed to produced the same form was the next two games, narrowly beating Griffins by a goal and then needing a late equaliser to save the points against Firebrands.
The draw was costly as it virtually killed 300's medal hopes, needing them to beat already champions Phoenix, which they did not.
In the end, they had to settle for forth. Disappointing to lose out the medal but a good campaign for 300 nevertheless, it is still better than last.
