Selangor Floorball League 2011/2012: Final Matchweek

It has truly been a wonderful time in this league for all players of all teams. Some teams have achieved what others never thought they could and push themselves over the limit to become one of the Greats. This week will mark the end of SFL 2011/2012. So far, the rankings table has been much of a topsy-turvy roller coaster ride with the seats for the second and fourth spot are yet to be decided until this week. One thing for sure is that we might be having a plate full of surprises to end this season with an epic closing.




Match 1: Bangi Rusty Blade v Gracebandy! Co.
(12 PM - 2 PM)

It must be painful for them to lose in the hands of their former mentor, but they should proud of what they have achieved so far after the departure of Hafidz to Gang Bintang. It was even better when they put up one hell of fight against Gang Bintang last week, where both teams were attacking an all fronts despite the Green Army was defeated in that match. Most of their players have shown some very good improvements, and with a little more effort, they could regain their former glory as the Big Four in the league. This week, the Green Army will definitely be blood- thirsting for some victory against Gracebandy! Co., As a victory is indeed what they need to recover from their previous encounter against Gracebandy! Co. which ended with a draw. Perhaps with a tighter play in their center, they could have a grip of this match within their grasp and have a revenge on Gracebandy! in this final week.

They have suffered a grave defeat at the hands of the uncrowned champions; Subang Rascals. Now, the lads really need to work on their form and recollect what they have done when they were going against the Griffins previously. If manage to do that, they might be to have one more victory to add into their records for this season. However, to do so would require all players of this team should give their full commitment for this final match, or else they would have to suffer another defeat this week.


Players to watch (Bangi Rusty Blades): Malik, Faz, Andy, Imran

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

Prediction: The Green Army will end their campaign with a victory against Gracebandy! Co. 








Match 2: Salibandy! Co. v KLIUC Hornets
(2 PM - 4 PM)


Salibandy! Co. has shown some spectacular performance throughout this entire campaign and has definitely earned them a spot to be in the prestigious Super Cup. The entire team has never failed to display improvements ever since the beginning of this season. It is not impossible for these chaps to become the champions of the league in the upcoming seasons. As alluring the thought might be, they will first have to first their rivals for this week; the Hornets and try to win against them for a redemption due to their defeat in the first leg of this season. Seeing how the Salibandy! chaps are playing right now, who knows they might even top off Gang Bintang and become the runner ups for this season. Interesting indeed, don't you think?


The Hornets have once again wowed the entire audience with their thunderous performance during their match against the Blackwings last week. They have dominated the entire first period and half into the second period. However, they failed to continue their dominance over the Blackwings as their opponents seem to finally able to sustain the oncoming attacks from the Hornets. This is a matter that should be taken seriously by the entire team of the Hornets as their final match against Salibandy! this week would become an epitome of their momentum for the next season. Not to forget, these chaps still might have the chance to play in the Super Cup if they could still pull this match off somehow with a victory.




Players to watch (Salibandy! Co.): Kelson, Daniel, Terence, Jiri, Alvin, Ricky


Players to watch (KLIUC Hornets): Azim, Dyla, Yoyo, Norman, Iffat, Halim


Prediction: Salibandy! Co. will walk out with a victory and be eager to see whether they could be the runner ups for this campaign.








Match 3: Subang Rascals v Gang Bintang
(4 PM - 6 PM)


This is it. The most long awaited clash between the two arch-rivals; Subang Rascals and Gang Bintang. This battle would finally decide which of these two teams are the best. In one hand, the Rascals have kept their record clean without any losses, meaning that they have unofficially become the new champions of SFL. Despite that fact, I would be betting that the players of these team would be very eager to meet their nemesis and settle some score with the two times former champions once and for all. The Rascals will be playing hard on all fronts to sustain their opponents and try to do what they always did in every game; absolute dominance of ball control. One way or another, this is definitely the highlight match for this week.


The former champions have endured a bad campaign this season. As this week would mark the end of SFL 2011/2012, they too, would be playing with using everything they have under their sleeves to ensure that they would not have to suffer another defeat at the hands of their arch-nemesis; Subang Rascals. While they have played a very heart-throbbing match against the Green Army last week, the Rascals too have been showing an absolute control over Gracebandy! Co.. For this week, all players of Gang Bintang should participate in this epic clash of the titans. A decisive between these two must absolutely can't be missed at all!




Players to watch (Subang Rascals): Sjaiful, Hendrik, Dennis, Snake, Harri


Players to watch (Gang Bintang): Khalid, Jethro, Hafidz, John, Anuar


Prediction: Subang Rascal to become the champion of SFL with a clean sheet on their records for this season.








Match 4: The GMI Derby( White Knights v Blackwings)
(4 PM - 6 PM)


White Knights has once again proven to be a formidable team as they won against a very tight match against the improving Joker Prodigy FC. But these White Knight lads have a lot more to learn before they could truly become a feared force in the league, as even though they were outnumbering the Joker Prodigy with a full team of three lines in their line up, they still could not shake off their opponents who were playing with only two players on the bench with a bigger margin in the scoreline. This week, they will be going up against their brother team; the Blackwings in the local GMI derby. With this being the final week of the league, they can't afford to lose against the Blackwings.


Even though they lose to the Hornets last week, their performance in the third period of the game was very admirable as they managed to hold the tally of attacks from the Hornets and even managed to score three goals in the third period. They too, are a team capable of amazing feats and this week would decide which of the GMI teams are the best. Perhaps they could surprise everyone this week with a victory against the White Knights. However it may be, a clash between these two is not one to be missed.




Players to watch (White Knights): Amai, Bard, Haidar, Shahir, Zul


Players to watch (Blackwings): Azizi, Hazizi, Asiff, Rezal


Prediction: White Knights to overcome the Blackwings in this GMI derby.








Match 5: KLIUC Griffins v Joker Prodigy FC
(8 PM - 10 PM)


The Griffins have started their campaign by surprising everyone with their improved performance compared to their last season. However, these past few weeks have seen that the Griffins could not find the much needed spark for their team to overcome their opponents. Serious review should be made by them and try to fix whatever problems that have been bugging them, as they were forced to pay the price with a few defeats in the previous weeks. As they will be going up against Joker Prodigy this week, they should not take things for granted as the Joker Prodigy might be able to surprise them with a boisterous performance to win against the Griffins. This is indeed a crucial time for the Griffins as how they perform this week would set the tone of their entire squad for the upcoming season.


Joker Prodigy FC is now on the verge of becoming a fearsome team, especially with the joining of Ruben from Gang Bintang. Their past few matches have seen that they are capable of achieving great things and should not be undermined by their opponents, no matter who they might be. They would be eager to have a victory against the Griffins on this weekend as a consolation prize for their team. They might be coming back for more next season. Who knows? All we can do is hope for the best for these lads.




Players to watch (KLIUC Griffins): Adi, Naufal, Medi, Izwan, Aqil


Players to watch (Joker Prodigy FC): Ruben, Khairul, Amir, Erry, Naqi


Prediction: The Griffins will have their long awaited victory this week.
