Playing To Survive.

Final Score
Unihawks vs. Innebandy 2-3

The evening looked set to be filled with excitement as players from both teams filled the arena. Inne however were short of a few of their players..............10 minutes and counting, 5 minutes and counting, face off whistle goes and still not enough players. Finally a phone call comes in.......the voice on the other end of the line frantically conveying the message that their car full of Inne players has broken down. Ten minutes into the 1st period they show up.

Unfortunately the whole evening turned out to be very lackluster event. Hawks tried to go out with guns blazing but lacked the skill and know how of a more experienced floorball team. But what they lacked in skill and experience they made up for in sheer determination. As for Inne, if tonight was a sign of things to come, sad to say, I don't think they're taking the division title anytime soon. I think it's time they rethink their strategy and game play. If they're to take on the Fireants and hope to win they'll have to work way harder than they have been. Maybe this will be a wake up call for them to not just rest on their laurels and expect everything handed to them on a platter.

For the Fireants, this game just served up a glimmer of hope for the division title. All they need right now is to keep focused as they run the final leg of their race this Tuesday. Again, it all boils down to Tuesday.......it'll be a battle that only the coolest of heads that will finally win.
