SFL 2010/2011 Match Day 7 Preview 19th February 2011

Match Day 7 will be played on Saturday the 19th of February at the Rakan Muda Complex in Puchong. Match Day 7 also marks the end of Round 1 in SFL 2010/ 2011.
Match Day 6 saw the top 3 teams Gang Bintang, Subang Rascals and Bangi Rusty Blades winning in style against their oppositions. In the derby encounter, KLIUC Hornets proved too strong for KLIUC Griffins.


Sat, 19th February 2011
Game 1 – Salibandy!Co. vs. Bangi Rusty Blades
(2.00pm – 4.00pm)
Referees: Jethro and Gerard
Salibandy!Co. was well beaten in the last game against Rascals even when they outnumbered the Rascals by more than half. Salibandy!Co. would have to do better both defensively and offensively if they wish to take anything away from this game. Their strength lies in their quick counter-attacking play however they have yet to show consistency since the league began. With a fast-improving goalkeeper and ever-reliable forwards, Salibandy!Co. need to sort out their defence if they are looking to improve this season.
Bangi Rusty Blade easily swept aside the White Knights in their last game. Similar to Salibandy!Co., they have yet to show any consistency that is required of a championship winning team. Their lose against Hornets has made them look vulnerable and if they want to win this against a resilient Salibandy!Co. side they would have to play with determination and discipline. It would do them great if they show more systematic build-up approach than mere push and run.
Prediction:
Bangi Rusty Blade to triumph in this encounter.
Players to watch (Salibandy!Co.) : Alvin Lee Jin Aun, Ravi and Daniel Phang
Players to watch (Bangi Rusty Blade): Hafidz, Jun Hui, Faz and John.

Game 2: Gracebandy!Co. vs. KLIUC Griffin
(4.00pm - 6.00pm)
Referees: Alvin and Terence
Gracebandy!Co. showed great determination and grit against Gang Bintang in their last game but it was not enough as the defending champions tore them apart. However, putting in 6 goals past the defending champions is in fact a commendable effort. Gracebandy!Co. has showed maturity in play but would need a more organize system especially at the back. Some of the goals let in were too easy for their opponents. Perhaps their senior players could guide the younger ones and push the team forward.
KLIUC Griffin has yet won any game however under coach Ilyaz, they showed glimpses of promising plays. They have a very good goalkeeper and quite a strong defence however they tend to lose too much possession while moving forward making them vulnerable against the more experienced teams in the league. Griffins have to really play their heart in this one if they want to grab their first win of the season.
Prediction:
Gracebandy!Co. to emerge victorious.
Players to watch (Gracebandy!Co.): Philip, Gerard, Anton and Joo Min.
Players to watch (KLIUC Griffins): Naufal, Amirul and Adi.

Game 3 – GMI White Knights vs. Subang Rascals
(6.00pm – 8.00pm)
Referees: Taqi and Faz
GMI White Knights were tore apart by the Green Army last weekend and face an even steeper challenge this weekend as they face second place Subang Rascals. The White Knights would need to strengthen their defence and play more as a team rather than individually which often leaves tem wide open for a swift counter-attacking play. They would do well to limit the Rascals from scoring freely.
Subang Rascals have been improving as a team by each game. Their build-up plays and play-ups have been stretching their opponents apart. Their more experience players have been instrumental in the team’s performance. Even when down in numbers, Rascals have shown that with a more tactical approach they can face any team in the league.
Prediction:
Subang Rascals to add misery to the White Knights.
Players to watch (GMI White Knights): Ridha, Amai, Bard, Shahir and Zaiff.
Players to watch (Subang Rascals): Dennis, Gan, Calle, Carlos, Henrik, Sjaiful and Harry.

Match of the week!
Game 4 – Gang Bintang vs. KLIUC Hornets
(8.00 pm – 10.00 pm)
Referees: Suresh and Sjaiful
Gang Bintang has been unstoppable upfront scoring goals after goals and with current top-scorer Khalid, Gang Bintang looks set to be defending their title again this season. However, their defence have been woeful, letting in soft goals and allowing the team to be pressured many times in the league. As long as Khalid and company keep scoring more than they concede, they should be victorious in this one. They should though, work on their defence and shut out opponents once and for all to achieve that supremacy in many championship teams.
KLIUC Hornets have been improving by the week and got a scalp of the Green Army which would be their most impressive job this season. Hornets however, lack that self-belief and would do well to play to their strength than worrying about their opponents. Their captain, Muiz, have been their most consistent player besides Azim who gets the regular goals for Hornets. With a much-reliable goalkeeper in Azmill, Hornets could achieve greater glory if they work together as a team and dish out the tactical floorball they have been portraying the last few games.
Prediction:
Gang Bintang to carry on their winning style.
Players to watch (Gang Bintang): Lada, Anuar, Jethro, Gafur, Rizal and Illyaz.
Players to watch (KLIUC Hornets): Taqiuddin, Azim, Muizuddin, Nura Dyla, Paez and Azmill.
