Selangor Floorball League 2010/2011: Matchday 2 Summary

Matchday 2 promised another string of great matches and it is without doubt, one of the greatest days in Selangor Floorball. There will be more to come of course !

Game 1: KLIUC Griffin 1 – 20 Subang Rascals

The mighty Rascals put their disappointing opening game defeat behind and came back in style, by doing what they do best – scoring tonnes of goals ! They dominated the whole game by demolishing their opponent without any mercy. 20-1 is the final scoreline and it was Rascals’ biggest win to date.

With the likes of Dennis, Henrik, Sjaiful, Arizal etc. plus their newest addition, Harri, who scored 5 goals on his debut, it is without doubt that the scoreline will be a huge margin. Not only that, Subang Rascals welcomed Suzanne back into their goalkeeping line and she came back stronger as ever. However, credits to Adi, the KLIUC Griffin goalkeeper pulled off a couple of great saves which entertained the crowd. KLIUC Griffin gave a good fighting spirit and pulled a goal back through Syamil.

Subang Rascals pulled off a huge win and just the perfect time to keep their goalscoring form alive as they meet their fiercest rivals, Gang Bintang this weekend.

The 2nd match was the battle between the SFL newboys. GMI White Knights made a classic comeback as they came back from behind and clinched a memorable maiden win in their SFL campaign.

Gracebandy!Co. was showing great dominance in the first period as they entered the first intermission with a 2-goal cushion. They went on to extend the lead to 3 goals but GMI White Knights must have been motivated by wise words from their coach, Mohammad Hafidz and they went on to steal the lead and turned the table around to clinch a 11-7 victory.

Ridha Hafidz, the GMI skipper, played a prominent role as he led the team to victory for the first time in their club history. However, we must not forget the great performance by Andrian of Gracebandy!Co. as he clinched a hat trick and was featured in several key passes of the game.

The match of the day saw Gang Bintang extending their unbeaten streak to 10 matches and they are not showing any signs of slowing down as they defeated the underdogs, Bangi Rusty Blade with a comfortable 9-3 victory.

Gang Bintang welcomed Kelvin “Banana” Koh and Kenny Liang back to the squad for the first time this season and these two players have played an inspiring role to help Gang Bintang claimed a great win. Banana marked his return to SFL by scoring a hat trick including one goal which came flying from the halfway line and caught the Green Army’s goalkeeper, John, no chance to saving it. Plus, Khalid who was in a hot goalscoring form now, doesn’t seem to be slowing down as he added his goal tally to 8 goals this season; taking over his teammate, Jethro at the top of the leaderboard.

One of the highlights of the match, Bangi Rusty Blade managed to equalize the early Gang Bintang lead and gave the defending champions a surprise by taking over the lead in the beginning of 2nd period. The partnership of Termin and Amir sent some early shockers to the Gang Bintang defence.

At the end of the match, Gang Bintang skipper, Jethro Wong added by saying,
“Bangi Rusty Blade have awoken the sleeping giant in every Gang Bintang players during the first period and the beginning of the second period, but we did not give up and showed everyone why we won the title last season.”

Game 4: Salibandy!Co. 5 – 4 KLIUC Hornets

Many have known that Salibandy!Co. and KLIUC Hornets are fierce rivals and they were neck-to-neck in their SFL meeting this time. However, Salibandy!Co. pulled off another memorable win as they won the game with a slender lead.

Terence of Salibandy!Co. was on the best form in the game as he scored a hat trick to help Salibandy!Co. clinching this win. However, some shaky defence by Salibandy!Co. has allowed KLIUC Hornets to come close to equalizing but it just was not enough to draw the match level.

Muiz and Taqi played promising role for Hornets as they kept persevering to clinch the valuable two points. But Hornets’ players have to be much organized in their attacking and defensive plays. Nevertheless, it was a great display by both clubs. But Salibandy!Co. was the better side of the game.

Terence (3), Alvin Lee Jin Aun (1), Ricky (1)
