Republic Polytechnic, Friday, May 23, 2014 – Temasek Junior College (TJC) defeated National Junior College (NJC) 11–3 but just missed out on the semi-finals of the National A Division Boys Floorball Championship.
The win gave TJC a 5–1 win-loss record but Victoria Junior College (5–1) and Raffles Institution (5–1) qualified for the semi-finals with a better goal difference.
Ryan Tiong (NJC #7) opened the scoring but Lauw Wei Zhong (TJC #12) took a shot that went past the wall of defense to score the equalising goal. With 38 seconds left, Lai Jia Li (NJC #2) scored a goal to ensure NJC led 2–1 at the end of the first period.
During the second period, NJC were unable to keep up with TJC’s attack. Lauw Wei Zhong (TJC #12) scored to make it 3–1 before teammate Amir Syafiq (TJC #92) scored a buzzer-beating goal for TJC to end the second period with a 4–1 lead.
Within three minutes of the start of the third, Reuben Tay (TJC #23) put his team further ahead and Amir Syafiq (TJC #92) followed with another goal to make it 6–1.
The TJC keeper had multiple good save and in the 10th minute, Derrick Tan (NJC #27) scored to cut the deficit to four.
However, a flood of TJC goals soon came after, with Amir Syaiq (TJC #92), (TJC #33), Gavin Ng (TJC #14), Iman Heizer Pua (#3), and Lee Xiang Zheng (#77) getting their names on the scoresheet for a commanding 11–2 TJC lead.
Just 30 seconds before the end of the game, goalkeeper Ashley Lim (TJC #6) somehow rebounded the ball back into his own net for an own goal but it was merely another consolation goal for NJC.
