It is finally arriving ! Floorball players and fans have been waiting for the whole year. The long-awaited Selangor Floorball League 2010/2011 is happening this weekend ! We have action-packed and this weekend's opening matches are a cruncher. This is the SFL 2010/2011 Matchday 1 Preview.
Game 1:
GMI White Knights v.
Salibandy!Co. (11am-1pm)
GMI and Salibandy!Co. start the season off with GMI playing their first league match in their club history. This will be a history-making match for them. However, it is also one of their toughest. GMI was formed mainly young and inexperienced players will have to pull off a big surprise in their playbook. Salibandy!Co. was the 2nd runner-up in last season's SFL and is expected to be much stronger this season. Without any doubt, Salibandy!Co. will be firing in all cylinders with their fast-paced offenses.
Prediction: Salibandy!Co. will dominate the game and win this match against GMI White Knights.
Match Officials: Muiz & Gerard
Game 2:
Gracebandy!Co. v.
KLIUC Hornets (1pm-3pm)
Another debutant in the new season, Gracebandy!Co. was formed mainly of players who were playing for Salibandy!Co. last season. The new team has at least a year of experience in the sport and this could benefit their team for the league. However, they are playing a much stronger KLIUC Hornets this weekend and Hornets, with most players from KLIUC Griffin last season, will be in for a great match.
Prediction: This will be a tight match but KLIUC Hornets will pull off with a big win.
Match Officials: Alvin & Fazrullah
Game 3:
Gang Bintang v.
KLIUC Griffins (3pm-5pm)
Floorball fans will be invited for a treat as the defending champions, Gang Bintang, will begin their campaign against a much depleted KLIUC Griffins squad. The new Griffins squad is not the same as last season's and was formed mainly of inexperienced but talented players. Gang Bintang, despite losing some of their key players during the transfer window, will be led by their new skipper, Jethro Wong, to start off their title defence and even continuing their unbeaten streak.
Prediction: Without a doubt, Gang Bintang will be the favourites to win this game.
Match Officials: Suresh & Hafidz
Game 4:
Bangi Rusty Blade v.
Subang Rascals (5pm-7pm)
The final match of matchday 1 will see debutant, Bangi Rusty Blade, play the mighty Subang Rascals. Bangi Rusty Blade, has an objective to win the title this season, will be going all-out with a strong squad. However, Subang Rascals has an additional defensive force after the transfer window and will also be going all-out to clinch the important 2 points. This match is a must-win game for both sides and it will be one of the floorball classics in Selangor.
Prediction: This match will be really tight as both sides share the same odds of winning. But Subang Rascals is the better team from tactical wise.
Match Officials: Taqi & Jethro
Matchday 1 will begin at 11am (GMT+8) in Dewan Bola Tampar, Section 19, Shah Alam.
