Hougang Sports Hall, Wednesday, April 13, 2016 — Meridian Junior College (MJC) defeated Catholic Junior College (CJC) 14-1 in the preliminary round of the National A Division Floorball Championship.

Thaddeus Tan (MJC #77) and Abdul Mateen Amir Mizra (MJC #4) were the top scorers of the game with four goals each.

In a game which MJC dominated from start to end, CJC had barely any good look-outs. CJC often found it difficult to get past the mid court because of the MJC defense. MJC controlled the game with skill and team play.

Midway through the first period, Thaddeus Tan (MJC #77) broke the deadlock with a long range drag shot from the mid court, making it 1-0. Jayvis Lim Xu Xuan (MJC #25) and Abdul Mateen Amir Mizra (MJC #4) then went on to score a goal each to make it 3-0 by the end of the first period.

In the second period, Roy Cheng (CJC #44) score to pull one goal back for CJC to make it 1-3. However, MJC then scored eight consecutive goals, leaving the audience awestruck.

Abdul Mateen (MJC #4) scored three goals, Thaddeus Tan (MJC #77) had two, while Muhammad Muzafaar Shah (MJC #15), Janus Lim (MJC #22) and Brandon Ong (MJC #26) had one each.

Despite having an 11-1 heading into the final period, MJC did not let up.

15 seconds in, Jeremy Chia (MJC #18) scored in the D to make it 12-1. Subsequently, teammate Jayvis Lim (MJC #25) powered in a drag shot to make it 13-1.

Thaddeus Tan (MJC #77) then shot from mid court to wrap up the 14-1 win.

MJC will next face off against Temasek Junior College while CJC will play River Valley High. Both matches will be held on April 20 at Hougang Sports Hall.
