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.
