Sat, 26th March 2011

Game 1 – Bangi Rusty Blade vs. Gracebandy!Co.

(2.00pm – 4.00pm)

Referees: Taqi & Sjaiful

Bangi Rusty Blade last outing was a historical win against Gang Bintang, a feat second to none so far in the league. With such high level of discipline shown in the last game, Bangi Rusty Blade looks much better compared to earlier games. The only challenge for the Green Army is, if they can keep up the same kind of play and challenge Subang Rascals for the second spot. They have the quality in their pool of players but will they be able to play consistently week in week out with that same tenacity, discipline and teamwork?

Gracebandy!Co. started lost and unorganised against Salibandy!Co. but finish strongly and were unlucky not to get a win. With Gerard leading the team from the bench, Gracebandy!Co. looks a better outfit. Perhaps, all Gracebandy!Co. really need is a coach to solve the team’s problems. Gracebandy!Co. is never a bad team, it has the promises of a young and enthusiastic team with big-hearted players. Gracebandy!Co. certainly need to sort out their defence and Anton and Joo Min needs to spearhead their attack with more potency as these two quick pace forwards are definitely a delight to watch when they attack as a pair!

Prediction:

Bangi Rusty Blade to continue their winning streak.

Players to watch (Bangi Rusty Blade): Hafidz, Jun Hui, Faz & John.

Players to watch (Gracebandy!Co.): Philip, Gerard, Anton & Joo Min.

Game 2- KLIUC Hornets vs. Subang Rascals

(4.00pm - 6.00pm)

Referees: Jethro & Gerard

KLIUC Hornets will go into this game without inspirational skipper Muiz who is away this weekend. The onus will definitely be on their player-manager, Taqi, to lead the team against an opposition looking set to get back into winning ways. Hornets would have to sit back and defend as a team and counter Rascals quickly before they can organize. Hornets have shown great resilience when they face tougher oppositions therefore Subang Rascals will not get the win easy.

Subang Rascals would like to put last week’s game at the back of their head and focus on maintaining as runner-up in the league and with the Green Army closing in, Rascals cannot afford to slip. Not much to be said here, just expect Rascals to go out on full cylinders firing away at the Hornets as they are definitely hungry for goals after being tamed by Gang Bintang. Their only obstacle would definitely be the Hornets goalkeeper, Azmill, who have been in excellent form the whole season.

Prediction:

Subang Rascals to win by a big margin.

Players to watch (KLIUC Hornets): Taqiuddin, Azim, Muizuddin, Nura Dyla, Paez & Azmill.

Players to watch (Subang Rascals): Dennis, Gan, Calle, Carlos, Henrik, Sjaiful & Harry.

Game 3 – Gang Bintang vs. GMI White Knights

(6.00pm – 8.00pm)

Referees: Arizal & Naufal

Gang Bintang is facing a totally different team from last weekend’s outing. Their opponents this week are young, speedy, hardworking and never gives up. Gang Bintang should not have a problem overcoming their opponents this weekend but they should always be on their toes, as many teams would love to get a scalp of the defending champions. Gang Bintang’s strength is their attack and its best if they just keep attacking since its often said that attack is the best form of defence, so much so as their defence has been a suspect this season.

GMI White Knights played extremely well against Gracebandy!Co. in their last outing. They definitely proved me wrong and showed that they are not giving up. This revitalized team played quick attacking floorball, which probably surprised their last opponents. Against Gang Bintang though, White Knights would have to defend strongly against the likes of Khalid, Lada, Rizal and Jethro who will definitely punish them if given the opportunity. White Knights should respect their opponents but should not be afraid to attack them when the opportunity arises. Like I said earlier, Gang Bintang defence has been woeful at times, so probably they would want to exploit that part of the defending champions.

Prediction:

Gang Bintang to win this game comfortably.

Players to watch (Gang Bintang): Lada, Anuar, Jethro, Gafur, Rizal & Ilyaz.

Players to watch (GMI White Knights): Ridha, Amai, Bard, Shahir & Zaiff.

Game 4 – KLIUC Griffins vs. Salibandy!Co.

(8.00 pm – 10.00 pm)

Referees: Song Sing & Hafidz

KLIUC Griffins has steadily improved too but is still looking for their first win. Scoring is not a problem compared to their defence. They have a very good goalkeeper in goal, a steady defence so one do wonder how do they actually concede so much at times. Key players Naufal and Amirul would have to step up their game big time in these last few matches as Griffins look for their maiden win in the league. Naufal must not be afraid to move up and join the attack. Amirul on the other hand, should shoot more as he always gets into good positions but often chooses to pass instead. As a team, Griffins are united, and they should use that to defend and attack as a team.

Salibandy!Co. manage to run away with a win against Gracebandy!Co. but should be worried as they allowed Gracebandy!Co. back into the game and put them in unnecessary pressure. Salibandy!Co. is a very good team but do concede unnecessary goals at times thus putting themselves in unfavourable position and at times costing the win. Alvin, Terence and Daniel have to play a bigger part in organizing the team especially in their defence. Against Griffins, Salibandy!Co. would face a challenge as the Griffins has nothing to lose and would fancy a win against anyone.

Prediction:

Salibandy!Co. to put Griffins away comfortably.

Players to watch (KLIUC Griffins): Zuhri, Naufal, Amirul & Adi.

Players to watch (Salibandy!Co.) : Alvin Lee Jin Aun, Terence, Ravi & Daniel Phang

The SFA wishes every team good luck and may fair play triumph!
