Subang Rascals cruised to their 5th win of the season after edging Salibandy!Co. easily with an 18-3 scoreline. It proved to be a great recovery after they have suffered their first loss to Gang Bintang. Salibandy!Co. on the other hand, despite their first win against KLIUC Griffins two weeks ago, seems to be out of control over their defence as they were punished hard by many Rascals offensive runs.

1st period:

Rascals without several key players, they started the game with just 8 players but they welcomed Carlos back into the line-up. And Carlos, missed the game against Gang Bintang, was on his top form in this game, scored a hat trick in just 10 minutes with the two tremendous strikes in the 6th minute and the third in the 10th minute; credits also to Dennis as he assisted Carlos’ first goal.

Bing Hock scored Rascals first goal in just 5 minutes into the period.

However, Salibandy!Co. played well in this period. They played defensively throughout the period. Goalkeeper, Danush made a remarkable save with his leg from a close-ranged Dennis’ shot during the period which became the highlights of the match.

*Subang Rascals 4-0 Salibandy!Co.*

2nd period:

The 2nd period was a goal-fest. Subang Rascals had some serious tactical planning during the intermission and it worked perfectly in this period.

It was not long till spectators saw the first goal as Vicky scored a goal following a defensive error by Salibandy!Co. players. Snake grabbed his first goal of the season as he netted in Rascals’ 6th of the game following an impressive pass by Dennis.

Dennis, who is chasing the players’ list leader, Khalid of Gang Bintang, has made taking over the leadership board as his main objective in this game. As a result, he netted 5 impressive goals in this period and making him the new leader of the leadership board at that point of time.

Connor has been a helping hand in assisting his teammates this period as he assisted both Dennis and Carlos’ goals. Snake and Vicky were the other two who assisted both Dennis’ goals in the 13th and 16th minute.

But, Connor was given a two-minute bench penalty for allegedly hitting the opponent’s stick incorrectly (code 201).

As the period ended and went into the intermission, Salibandy!Co. skipper, Ricky Tong must really plan something well in order to stop Rascals from firing more goals and get his team back into the game.

*Subang Rascals 12-0 Salibandy!Co.*

3rd period:

Salibandy!Co. trailed Rascals 12 goals as they entered the 3rd period. The match has been rather intensive in the 3rd period. With both sides played very well.

But it was the visitors who drew the crowd into attention as Daniel Phang managed to score following a great pass by Alvin L. and showing some signs of a comeback from Salibandy!Co.

However, there were many unprofessional fouls in this period as 4 players from Salibandy!Co. were given two-minutes bench penalty for committing an offence of incorrect hit.
The first two penalties gave Rascals a huge opportunity to extend their lead over the visitors as they scored two goals. The scorers were Carlos and Dennis; with Carlos assisting Dennis’ goal.

On the other hand, Salibandy!Co. showed some fighting spirit as well as Terence made a vital pass to allow Alvin L. to score from the follow-up; making the scoreline 2-14.

Nevertheless, Suresh played an all-important role in this game and pushed forward from the defence and assisted Carlos’ 6th goal of the game in the 14th minute. Rascals then made the scoreline even more one-sided as Carlos added two more goals into the score sheet; Bing Hock also added another one. Dennis and Vicky both assisted the goals with Dennis assisted two.

Alvin L. managed to score another consolation goal for Salibandy!Co. after a great Jonathan pass in the offensive run.
