SFL 11/12 return for another sizzling game of floorball action in matchweek 6
Match 1: Bangi Rusty Blade vs KLIUC Griffin (12pm-2pm)
Bangi Rusty Blade is definitely on crisis as they had only won 1 out of 4 games played. Tipped to be one of the main title challengers at the start of the season, their current position is very alarming indeed. Their last game wasn’t pretty either as Salibandy! Co’ convincingly defeated them 10-7. Their next match will be another tough one as they will face the high flying KLIUC Griffin. Hafidz, Faz and Ayish as the core for the team need to rally everyone and start to play as a team if they want to turn back their fortunes in their favour. Against Griffin they will need to play at their own tempo as Griffin play at a fast pace and if they follow Griffins style of play, BRB will be slaughtered all day. Their defence is quite horrendous currently and Hafidz as the team coach need to address that quickly. If not, Griffin will take full advantage of the weakness.
KLIUC Griffin has been the most improved team since the start of the season. This was evident during their previous match when they beat White Knights 4-3. They were behind for most of the game but through sheer guts and tenacity they manage to nick a win and shown that they are no pushovers for this season. With BRB they will continue to do that and this may cause trouble to BRB. Their never say die attitude is very admirable and should be followed by every team competing. Naufal, Tariq and several other players need to step up for this game as they had a rather quiet game previously and they owe a lot to their new players during the previous game. Griffin will be expected to try and really exploit BRB defence which is currently their weakest link but at the same time holding tight on their own defence.
Players to watch (Bangi Rusty Blade): Hafidz, Malik, Faz, Joo Min, Kendrick
Players to watch (Griffin): Naufal, Adi, Izwan, Mat
Prediction: A tough one to predict but if based solely on current form the win will side with Griffin in a very tightly contested game.
Match 2: Salibandy! Co. vs Subang Rascals (2PM-4PM)
Salibandy! Co. notched an impressive win against BRB last week. But against Subang Rascals it will be a whole new ball game for them. But then again Subang Rascals for this match will be without several key players and this means that a win for Salibandy! Co. is there for the taking if they play the tactics right. Alvin, Terence and the rest of the guys need to buck up and tighten up their play and attack Subang Rascals with purpose. Their defence need to be faster and be more aggressive than usual.
Subang Rascals as we all know is a team on a roll currently but that form might just be stopped by Salibandy! As said before, SR will be without several key players and this presents a huge opportunity for Salibandy! to nick an unexpected win against Rascals. But then again the prowess and ability of the rest of the Rascals player are not to be undermined. Players like Kamal, Dennis and others can still cause problems for Salibandy! as they are still a bunch of highly experienced player.
Players to watch (Salibandy! Co.): Alvin, Terence, Kelson, Joe, Ricky
Players to watch (Subang Rascals): Kamal, Dennis, Carlos
Prediction: Salibandy! Co. will give it a go against an under strength Subang Rascals. But SR is still filled with experience and not to be taken lightly. If Salibandy! play their tactics right and with the correct attitude, they will be the eventual victors in this match. A first defeat for Subang Rascals.
Match 3: Gang Bintang vs GMI White Knights (4PM – 6PM)
Gang Bintang almost suffered a shock loss to Hornets last week but due to some awful defending from Hornets had enabled GB to grab a draw with Hornets. Their mediocre performance was partly due to Khalid absence and lack of sharpness and pace from their forwards. A repeat of that show must not be repeated as their next opponent, GMI White Knight is another tough nutshell to crack. With reliable sources confirming that Khalid will still not be playing, it will open up a huge opportunity for White Knights to grab a shock win unless Jethro and co have other ideas in mind.
GMI White Knights were quite unfortunate to loss their match last week against Griffin as both teams were neck to neck the whole game. But they must quickly forget about the loss last week and concentrate fully for the game against the defending champion. As shown from previous matches, their pace is their greatest strength and they must utilise it fully in order to compete against Gang Bintang. They can take comfort however with GB lack of pace during their previous match and exploit it to the max.
Players to watch (Gang Bintang): Khalid, Jethro, Rizal, Anuar
Players to watch (GMI White Knights): Amai, Shahir, Penang, Bard
Prediction: A day for the underdogs perhaps? A shock win for GMI White Knights
Match 4: Joker Prodigy FC vs KLIUC Hornets
Joker Prodigy FC lost against Gracebandy! last week but their performance during 3rd period of the game was all inspiring. A replication of the 3rd period performance against Hornets will enable them to grab a win. But without Khalid guiding them again for this match they will find it hard to crack the improving Hornets. Joker need to play with their strength which is playing with flair and as the core of the team, Amir and Ery need to guide the rest of the fellows and push for victory. A word of caution though, Hornets are known for their counter attacking play thus Jokers defence need to bulk up and play collectively to counter any Hornets attack.
A draw against the defending champion was a needed tonic for KLIUC Hornets. Even though they could have won it, lack of focus and slacking defending at crucial point of the game had cost them a deserved win and had to settle for a draw. Nevertheless against Joker they will need to show the same hunger and passion showed last week against Joker. They will be near full strength for this game thus making no excuses for them to grab the elusive win they badly needed. But Joker are no pushovers. As shown previously, they had the ability to win against any team if they play it right. The experience of their core players like Taqi, Muiz, Azmill and John will be needed to guide them in this game as they will also be without their coach Sjaiful.
Players to watch (Joker Produgy FC): Amir Pandora, Ery, Hazwan
Players to watch (KLIUC Hornets): Taqi, Azmill, Muiz, Azim
Prediction: End to end stuff expected from both teams as both teams will go for the win. A narrow win will be expected at the end with Hornets taking the victory.
Match 5: GMI Blackwings vs Gracebandy! Co.
Blackwings will go into this game knowing they need to start producing results if they do not want to stay rooted at the bottom of the league until the end. They had shown some promises from previous match but they were only glimpse of it and never a lasting impression. Their task will not be easier as they will face Gracebandy! Co. who managed to grab a first win last week. Blackwings might have a chance against Gracebandy! if they can play as if this was their final. But to do that they will need to play their tactics right and instill a never say die attitude within themselves. If not, it will be another day to forget for Blackwings.
Gracebandy! Co. managed to chalk a first win of the season against Joker last week which is very impressive. But if they were to play as they did in the 3rd period against Blackwings, they might just be in trouble. Gerard and Phillips will again be in the spotlight for the team. But not to be outdone is Sheeda who had shown that she is on the same level as the Bros in the team. But against Blackwings they will need to be wary of the fast pace play that Blackwings employ as Blackwings player really do like to run and this will cause trouble for Gracebandy! A Gung Ho attitude might just be the way for Gracebandy! in order to get a 2nd win in the trot.
Players to watch (GMI Blackwings): Zizie, Azizul
Players to watch (Gracebandy! Co.): Gerard, Phillip, Mervin, Sheeda
Prediction: Even though it might e a day for the underdogs in this week SFL, but the same things will not happen to Blackwings. An expected win coming from Gracebandy! Co.
