Over the past two days, Selangor had witnessed two great matches from our two development teams against Team Central of Singapore.
A quick fact about Team Central:
The team is coached by Kasee Ruben and led by Syahid Zulkefli. They recently won the Singapore Div 3 Floorball League.
The friendly matches are used mainly for keeping all 3 teams (Selangor A, Selangor B and Team Central) players fit for more exciting floorball events in their respective country. Moreover, it is also used to build up better and further ties between the Selangor Floorball Association as well as our Singaporean counterpart.
One of the familiar faces in this tour was Syazni Sas, who once played for Bangi Rusty Blade back in December 2010 against Subang Rascals in Matchday 1 of the Selangor Floorball League 2010/2011.
Day 1 (23 June 2011): Selangor B 7 - 9 Team Central
Selangor B is mainly set up with junior players of about 1-2 years of playing experience. The most experienced player for the team is Gerard Ang, who filled in the captaincy on the day due to Ahmad Naufal's absence for the match.
Both sides showed competitiveness in aiming for their respective glory. Selangor B managed to score most of their 7 goals through quick breakaway of counter attacking floorball which caught Team Central's defence by surprise. However, Team Central outran Selangor B players throughout the match and gave the home side a scare in several attempts.
Most impressive player was Adi Nugraha who had saved many close-range shots as well as keeping the scoreline tight.
Day 2 (24 June 2011): Selangor A 5 - 6 Team Central
Having seen their 2nd team succumbed to defeat in the previous day, Selangor A is hoping for a sweet revenge against Team Central. The team led by Gang Bintang skipper, Jethro Wong and filled with several in-form players including SFL All-Star Team players, Azmill Hadzim, Jun Wooi, Taqiuddin and Terence.
Selangor A gave the visitors a surprise by leading (1-0) in the first period. The second period had stepped up in greater heights as Team Central were playing in a higher and faster tempo compared to the first period and managed to equalize thrice; Selangor A was leading 2-1 and 3-2 at a point of the period.
In the end, it was a close encounter for both side and Team Central got their deserving win in the highly competitive match.
The most impressive player for Selangor A was Azmill Hadzim who had saved most of the shots from Team Central players in the match.
