Matchday 2 Summary

Game 4: KLIUC Hornets v. Subang Rascals

Hornets entered the match with high hopes as they might have planned out a perfect defensive strategy in this game in order to stop the fast-paced Rascals. On the other hand, Rascals will take Matchday 2 as an opportunity to take over the leadership in the table as they will be playing two games; one will be against Salibandy!Co. after the 2nd match. As a result, Rascals are going on a full-attack in this game.

1st period:

After several checks with the players and etc, match referees, Sjaiful Anuar and Arizal have blown the whistle to start the first game of the day. However, Fazrullah (no.71) has delayed the start of the game and caused Arizal no choice but to send him to the penalty bench for 2 minutes with an offence of match delay (code 218). Hornets start the game with a man down and they went straight to defensive position. But at the 2nd minute, Hornets defender accidentally stepped into their own goalkeeper’s box and has given Rascals an early penalty shootout. Sasi (no.81) took the penalty confidently and scored the game’s first goal. After conceding the first goal, Hornets played an impressive defense and kept Rascals’ players out of their defense zone; credits also to Huzairyazlan (no.1) for many vital save from Rascals’ shots. However, 9 minutes later, Sasi went on to score Rascals’ 2nd goal after a superb solo run.

A minute later, Dennis (no.7) scored the third goal of the game with several passes from the Rascals players before going on a solo run to score. 3 minutes later, Carlos (no.78) scored the fourth goal after a great set-up by Suresh (no.4). But on the 17th minute, Faiz (no.23) was given a 2-min bench penalty for incorrect hit (code 201). Rascals then took advantage of the 5-man Hornets and scored their 5th goal through Sasi once again and he scored his hat-trick.

*KLIUC Hornets 0-5 Subang Rascals.*


2nd period:

Rascals went into the 2nd period with hopes of scoring even more goals to keep their goal differences apart. And they succeeded after 3 minutes into the 2nd period when Bing Hock (no.5) dribbled past the Hornets’ defender and scored the team’s 6th goal. 2 minutes later, Mikko (no.6) of Rascals then received a pass from Connor (no.10) and scored a great goal that left Huzairyazlan no chance to save. The game has gone even more one-sided as Bing Hock then scored his 2nd goal and Rascals’ 8th after a follow-up from Suresh’s pass.

On the 8th minute, Zahir (no.7) of Hornets then committed an incorrect hit and was given a 2-mins bench penalty and leaving the Hornets with 5-man once again. But luck then went onto Hornets on the 13th minute as Rascals was down to 5-man after Satyan (no.2), the skipper of Rascals, committed an offence for additional player on court after a confusion in the Rascals’ line change and he was given 2-mins bench penalty by the referees.

However, Rascals are able to defend well with just 5-man on the court plus Stephanie (no.30), the keeper of Rascals, saving many great shots from Hornets. Their defense paid off when Carlos and Sasi made a great partnership following a counter attack and Sasi assisted Carlos and he scored Rascals’ 9th goal of the game. However, Hornets fought back and clinched a goal through Khairul Hazwan (no.8). A minute before the end of first period, Connor then set up Dennis and he scored the 10th goal for Rascals.

*KLIUC Hornets 1-10 Subang Rascals*


3rd period:

Rascals did not play at their usual pace in the 3rd period as they are probably saving their energies for their 2nd match. However, they managed to get their 11th goal through Dennis once again and he scored his hat-trick. 3 minutes later, Bing Hock scored his hat trick and Rascals’ 12th after yet another great set-up by Suresh. Bing Hock and Suresh seem to be working really well together.

But spectators have to wait for 8 minutes before Dennis added on the scoreline and increased Rascals’ lead to 13-1; his fourth of the game. Rascals then found their rhythm again as they scored their 14th goal of the game through Henrik (no.3); his first goal of the day. Nevertheless, Hornets managed to clinch another consolation goal as Khairul Hazman scored his 2nd goal on the 18th minute.

The match ended KLIUC Hornets 2-14 Subang Rascals.


Game 5: KLIUC Griffins v. Gang Bintang

Griffins have to do whatever it takes to get out of the bottom of the table, but it was not an easy task as they are playing against Gang Bintang who were on a high-scoring form. Coach Hafidz has said during the pre-match “interview” and he believed that his team will triumph over the star-studded Gang Bintang. Gang Bintang on the other hand, have finally revealed their another line of great players who were from the Singapore Floorball League and this line has definitely boosted up the team’s offensive play. With very much of confidence, skipper Sjaiful Anuar led the team confidently into the game.

1st period:

The match begins as referees, Alvin Lee and Andrian Ravin, were given a heavy task to officiate this game. But it was Griffins who gave the visitor a shocker as Taqiuddin (no.99) became the first player to score past Illyaz Yushaak (no.1) and he gave the home team a very important lead in the game; a great pass from Muhammad Afiq (no.77) as well. 6 minutes later, Griffins then added more woes to Gang Bintang as Abdul Malik (no.11) set up Muhammad Faiz (no.6) and he scored Griffins’ 2nd goal of the game. It seems like there were a little shaky defence in Gang Bintang’s side.

However, Khalid (no.26) managed to clinch a goal and Gang Bintang drew the deficit closer. 4 minutes later, Filip (no.82) then scored on his debut for Gang Bintang and equalized the scoreline. He then added another goal for Gang Bintang after just a minute after the face-off; a great set-up by the skipper, Sjaiful (no.2). Luck seems to be going back to Gang Bintang’s side as they have finally found back the rhythm of the game.

On the 15th minute, another debut scorer in Gang Bintang’s side, this time it was Brown (no.5) that scored after an impressive set-up by Lada (no.3). But Andrian Ravin then gave Gafur (no.28) of Gang Bintang a 2-mins bench penalty after he caught him for wearing improper equipment on court (code 221).


*KLIUC Griffin 2-4 Gang Bintang*


2nd period:

Gang Bintang entered the 2nd period with a man down following Gafur’s bench penalty resumed from the 1st period.

Faiz (no.88) accidentally put the ball back into his own net after a shot from Brown.

On the 3rd minute of the 2nd period, Iffat (no.10) then scored on a first-timer after a superb cross from Taqiuddin. But Brown of Gang Bintang then added more woes to Griffins’ defense as he scored his 2nd goal after a great set-up by Filip; Gang Bintang’s 7th. But on the 8th minute, Dahlia (no.17) then committed an offence for roughing and she was given 2-mins bench penalty. However, Arizal (no.80) then added Gang Bintang’s scoring streak to 8 on the 10th minute; a superb goal from the defender. Brown then scored the final goal of the period on the 11th minute after another great set-up from Filip.

*KLIUC Griffins 3-9 Gang Bintang*


3rd period:

Gang Bintang played rather cautiously in the 3rd period as they do not wish to concede any more goals, Griffins on the other hand have gone into a very strong attacking play in order to get back to the game.

But it was Rizal (no.77) who extended Gang Bintang’s lead on the 7th minute and leaving Azmill Hadzim (no.1) no chance in saving the shot. 2 minutes later, Filip scored once again and this time it was his hat trick after another fantastic set-up by Sjaiful; what an amazing debut for the veteran. The scoring streak did not end there as Filip scored his 4th of the game and Gang Bintang’s 12th. Brown then concluded the game as he scored his 4th goal of the game on the 17th minute.

The match ended KLIUC Griffin 3-13 Gang Bintang.

Game 6: Salibandy!Co. v. Subang Rascals

Salibandy!Co. with just a point in the League will be hoping for a win in this game as the team has reshuffled their lines and also brought in several new players who have not feature in the League before. It is definitely a risk taken by them but their confidence in entering the game truly deserves a credit to it, but this time they seek advice from Deswyn Wan, the Malaysian national player, who was also the founder of the club. However, Subang Rascals will not take this game lightly. They enter this game without Sasi and only have half of the squad compared to the full 20-man squad Salibandy!Co. have brought to the game.

Match Statistics

Salibandy!Co.	3 - 13	Subang Rascals
Terence 2' Gerard 29' Alvin L. 33'		Henrik 6', 29', 43', 46' Mikko 7', 45', 47' Dennis 11', 33', 37' Bing Hock 12', 35' Carlos 39'

1st period:

The match starts with Taqiuddin and Muizzudin the referees of the game. It was the home team that gave Rascals a huge shock this time at the 1st minute as Terence (no.3) of Salibandy!Co. scored his first goal in the League and Salibandy!Co. in the lead. But Rascals bounced back fast as Henrik (no.3) followed by a great pass from Shawn (no.8) and he scored the equalizer just 4 minutes after the first goal. Rascals returned to their scoring form as Dennis (no.7) sets Mikko (no.6) up and he gave Rascals an important lead at the 6th minute.

At the 10th minute, Bing Hock (no.5) found Dennis unmarked in the defense zone and Dennis then scored his first goal of the game. Things seem to be going on Rascals’ ways as Bing Hock extended Subang Rascals lead to 4-1 at the 12th minute. But on the 17th minute, Shawn was given 2-mins bench penalty for incorrect hit (code 201) against one of the Salibandy!Co. players.

*Salibandy!Co. 1-4 Subang Rascals*


2nd period:

The 2nd period is one of the most questionable periods in the League so far. That is because the referees were sort of been attacked by both sides; verbally of course. The first wrath in the period was when Ricky Tong (no.23) of Salibandy!Co. was given a 2-mins bench penalty after he allegedly claimed opponent, Dennis’ stick was illegal. After several measurements taken, the claim was denied and Ricky was penalized.

On the other hand, Rascals extended their lead to 5-1 as Henrik scored from a superb range and Danush (no.1), the keeper of Salibandy!Co. no chance at all in attempting a save. A minute later, Gerard (no.8) of Salibandy!Co. managed to claim a goal back for his team and they drew the goal margin closer. Nevertheless, Daniel Phang (no.77) of Salibandy!Co. was given 2-mins bench penalty at the 10th minute for incorrect pushing (code 210). Despite having a-man down, Salibandy!Co. got even closer in chasing for an equalizer as Alvin Lee (no.28) scored from a solo performance on the 12th minute.

But 10 seconds after Salibandy!Co.’s third goal, Dennis then stunned the home team once again as he scored Rascals’ 6th goal and his 2nd of the game. Bing Hock then added more woes to the Salibandy!Co.’s defense as he extended Rascals’ lead to 7-3 on the 14th minute. Dennis scored his hat trick as Mikko sets him up and Rascals have extended their lead to 8-3. And 2 minutes before the end of 2nd period, Carlos concluded the scoreline by scoring his 1st of the game and Rascals’ 9th.

*Salibandy!Co. 3-9 Subang Rascals*


3rd period:

Both sides entered the 3rd period rather cautiously as they do not want to get their players penalized anymore. But it was Rascals who triumphed once again with Henrik scoring his hat trick on the 2nd minute into the period. Mikko then extended the lead by scoring his 2nd of the game after a wonderful set up by Dennis.

Henrik was the star for Rascals in this game as he scored his 4th goal of the game a minute later. And Mikko then concluded the scoreline after a great set up by Connor (no.10) on the 6th minute.

3rd period’s performance has been rather balanced as the match ended with Salibandy!Co. 3-13 Subang Rascals.
