Temasek Polytechnic vs Combined ITE (Men)
Wednesday, 24 October 2007 at Republic PolytechnicStory by Red Sports reader Muhammad Hannan.
The Institute of Technical Education (ITE) floorball team beat Temasek Polytechnic (TP) 3-2 last night to finish fourth in the six-team league.
Decked in their traditional red, Temasek Polytechnic took control of the game early with former captain and national player Joshua Brown hitting his shot just wide of the goal in the 7th minute.
Their fortunes however turned with ITE bearing down on the Temasek goal time and time again. ITE’s constant pressure was duly rewarded when a defender found an unmarked teammate (#38) whose first time shot from halfway went in, leaving Temasek's keeper with no chance.

Temasek Polytechnic (TP) notched their second straight win of the POL-ITE Games when they beat Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) 4-2 on Monday night at Republic Polytechnic. TP improved their win-loss record to 2-2 while NP dropped to 1-3.
TP was fired up against NP and the players were cheered on by their male counterparts as they took control of the game in the first period. Putting the team in the lead as early as the 5th minute was TP’s Wani. Dribbling from behind the NP post, she evaded player after player before placing the shot beyond the keeper’s reach. A great deal of possession gave TP another goal. This time, Cheryl's good vision to spot an open Janice whose first time shot beat the keeper to give her team a 2-0 lead. NP’s defence looked shaky throughout the first period.
