Team Central (SIN) Tour of Selangor 2011 Summary

Picture taken from Team Central Facebook Group

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.

Pre-Season Friendly (20 March 2010)

The 2nd series of pre-season friendly will be happening this weekend ! This time, GMI White Knights will take on Salibandy!Co., Gang Bintang to take on KLIUC Hornets, and Bangi Rusty Blade to take on Subang Rascals.

Here is a brief review on all teams:

GMI White Knights

• Despite the defeat to KLIUC Selection two months ago, the critics believe that the club is progressing rather well than expected.
• This time, they will be facing Salibandy!Co., a team that is more experienced compared to GMI.
• Critics believe that GMI's chances of winning this game are rather slim, but we would also be expecting a great fight from them in this game.

Salibandy!Co.

• Defeat to KLIUC Hornets 2 weeks ago is not a sweet return from a long break.
• Critics were surprised that Salibandy!Co. did not show much fighting spirit during the game compared to what we have seen last season.
• However, their offence has improved a lot and their attacking plays are getting faster.
• But, they should really work on their defence as many of the Hornets' goals were textbook finishes.
• Critics believe that Salibandy!Co. can pull a win over GMI easily.

Gang Bintang

• The biggest upset in Selangor floorball history when Gang Bintang was held 7-7 to newcomers, Bangi Rusty Blade.
• With most key players were not featured in the game against Bangi, Gang Bintang's defence has been rather sloppy compared to the much organized defence last season.
• We should be seeing most of their key players return to action this weekend.
• But one thing for sure, critics believe that Gang Bintang will not show any mercy to their KLIUC counterpart.

KLIUC Hornets

• A team that will not give up until the end of the game, Hornets managed to pull back their rhythm in their game against Salibandy!Co. in the final period and end the game with a 10-6 win.
• Reformed Hornets have improved a lot and many former Griffins players have contributed a lot to the win.
• However, their defence has been rather scattered at some point in the game.
• Critics believe that KLIUC Hornets have what it takes to cause Gang Bintang trouble.

Bangi Rusty Blade

• They have defy the odds by holding Gang Bintang to a draw. And now, they will be facing the mighty Subang Rascals, a team that started off with just 4 outfield players and has to loan other players for a full squad against Gracebandy!Co. two weeks ago.
• Bangi Rusty Blade has been causing too many troubles to Gang Bintang's defence and they have taken advantage over the Champions' sloppy defence.
• However, they have to be cautious with Subang Rascals' fast-paced offences.
• Critics believe that Bangi Rusty Blade will have a rather slimmer chance to repeat their miraculous encounter this weekend.

Subang Rascals

• A team that everyone called "The Mighty Rascals". Despite starting off with fewer players two weeks ago, Rascals managed to give their opponents a hard time and thrashed them with a 11-6 scoreline.
• Bearing the "Never Give Up" attitude, Rascals players are committed to fight till the end despite being handicapped in terms of number of players present.
• Critics believe that Subang Rascals will pull a win over Bangi Rusty Blade this weekend.

Fixtures:

GMI White Knights v Salibandy!Co. (1pm-3pm)

Gang Bintang v KLIUC Hornets (3pm-5pm)

Bangi Rusty Blade v Subang Rascals (5pm-7pm)

Pre-Season Friendly: The Clash of the Titans !

Date: 6 March 2010

Time: 1pm-7pm

Venue: Sports Plaza, Section 13, PJ

The long-awaited series of pre-season friendlies are happening real soon ! Featuring one of the top teams in Selangor till the underdogs in the SFL 2010. Gang Bintang and Subang Rascals have been dubbed as one of the favourites in the upcoming league will be facing their two newly formed opponents in this weekend. Salibandy!Co. will be re-establishing their rivalry with KLIUC Hornets as they play each other this weekend. The list below is the team review for the upcoming friendly.

Gang Bintang

• No doubt, they have been regarded as the goal-scoring machines and literal meaning of thrasher as they have thrashed their opponents throughout last season.
• The invincibles of last season will be facing Bangi Rusty Blade, a new team for the upcoming league.
• However, it has been told by insiders that they will be missing several key players for this game.

Subang Rascals

• The other team that has been thrashing their way throughout last season despite losing out to their fiercest rivals, Gang Bintang.
• It was expected as well that Rascals will be missing several key players for their match against Gracebandy!Co., another new outfit for the upcoming season.
• But we will be able to see the regular Rascals squad which consists of Snake, Suresh, Dennis, Henrik and co.

Salibandy!Co.

• Despite losing several key players at the start of last season, Salibandy!Co. managed to defy the odds and clinch a third-place finish.
• But critics have told that Salibandy!Co. will not pull off a win if they do not organize their defence well against a reformed KLIUC Hornets this weekend.
• The team achieved the worst defensive record last season as they have conceded 75 goals last season.

KLIUC Hornets

• Reformed KLIUC Hornets will be expected to be a new threat to other teams in the upcoming season of SFL. With former Griffins' skipper, Muizzudin in the team, it is no doubt that Hornets will be stronger and meaner this time.
• This match will serve as a replay of last season's final game where Hornets have lost to Salibandy!Co. and failed to clinch the third-place.
• Hornets will surely seek revenge over that defeat last season.

Gracebandy!Co.

• The sister club of Salibandy!Co., Gracebandy!Co. consists of several players from last season's Salibandy!Co. squad.
• According to insiders, Gracebandy!Co. is fairly new to the game and the "veteran" is Gerard who is the most experienced player in the sport.
• Meeting their toughest opponent in their first game as an individual club, Gracebandy!Co. will have to strategize perfectly in order to match up with the fast-paced, skillful Subang Rascals players.

Bangi Rusty Blade

• Another proud team managed by Hafidz, Bangi Rusty Blade consisted of several KLIUC players and Hafidz has a vision to make this team as one of the competitors for the title.
• Has been dubbed by critics as one of the underdogs for the upcoming season, Bangi Rusty Blade will be facing last season's champions, Gang Bintang in a classic "David vs. Goliath" match.

Fixture:

Gracebandy!Co. vs. Subang Rascals (1pm-3pm)
