1st Period: Salibandy!Co 2 - Gang Bintang 0
2nd Period: Salibandy!Co 6 - Gang Bintang 1
3rd Period: Salibandy!Co 11 - Gang Bintang 5

"Finally!!!" Salibandy!Co had won against Gang Bintang. Everyone celebrated with great joy over this victory not because we had any rivalry, but because Gang Bintang is a top top team in Selangor and we've never beaten them since the start of Selangor Floorball League Season 1.

During Season 1 and 2, whenever we played against them, we knew we didn't had much chance of winning as they were much more superior in terms of skills and experience. But for this Season 3, it had been a break through for Salibandy!Co throughout the whole season. We've not only manage to win matches, but also achieve consistency in our performance. Thus, having this victory against one of the best teams in Selangor just shows that Salibandy!Co is now among the top teams too. Though we're not the best yet, there's much much more hard work and training to match the mighty Subang Rascals in future.

Match Summary:

1st Period started with what the players in facebook called it, "a miracle goal" as Ricky Tong scored the openning goal with a long range shot! Salibandy!Co played a 50% defensive game as taught by our coach, Sasi. Everyone worked hard to run back to defend and to man-mark the Bintang players, thus limiting their chances of shooting.

We played with one simple rule: "we attack togehter, we defence together". Our defensive play was superb for the day as we manage to keep a clean sheet for the 1st period, and only letting in 1 goal during the 2nd period. But as for the 3rd period we conceeded 4 goals due to the Bintang players had gone full press and gave their best to try to chase the game back.

Conclusion:

The season is coming to an end with 3 more matches to go. At first, our aim was to secure 3rd placing for the league, and YES! We've secure it already with this victory. With only 1 point behind Gang Bintang now, we'll need to WIN all our remaining 3 matches to have any chance of over-taking them to get 2nd placing.

Throughout our league, we've leart a few lessons that we should not forget. One of the most important lesson is this:

"Never look down at other teams no matter what position they're in, always stay humble and have respect for every players, every teams."

Praise God for giving us strength and joy in playing floorball.

SFL Match Day 14 - Salibandy!Co vs GMI WhiteKnights

Date: 28th April 2012
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Venue: Puchong Rakan Muda

Line-up:
Goallie: Serb
Defenders: Ricky, Kel Sern, and Song Sing
Center: Terence and Alvin
Forwards: Daniel, Alice, Joe and James

Captain: Daniel

1st Period: Salibandy!Co 1 - GMI WhiteKnights 1
2nd Period: Salibandy!Co 4 - GMI WhiteKnights 1
3rd Period: Salibandy!Co 11 - GMI WhiteKnights 3

Match summary:

GMI WhiteKnights had been improving tremandously, and they even won against Gang Bintang in their previous match. Our last encounter with GMI WhiteKnights early in the season ended in a draw (almost lost the match!) Our mistake at that time was that we under-estimated our opponents.

No more mistakes this round as we fully respect the ability of our opponents, and true enough, we played good floorball. Although GMI scored the first goal, but I think we were already too used to conceeding goals first that we was able to remain calm and just play normal floorball. Slowly by slowly our goals started to flow in later in the match.

Special thanks to Joe and James who answered our emergency call where we originally did not have enough players for that match. Congratz to James for scoring his 1st and 2nd goals for Salibandy!Co. Wish you all the best as you continue to focus in your studies!

Serb was on superb form as well keeping a clean-sheet during the 2nd period!

Points to note:
1) We played with a simple rule where we attacked together as a team and defence together as a team. Great job!

2) In the 2nd period our defenders were finding it hard to pass the ball to the forwards because our forwards were not running into empty space and away from opponents. After the team-talk, I think we did much better on this area.

3) We only started to score more goals during 2nd and 3rd period mainly because we started to pass the ball more often=)

Man-Of-The-Match: Kel Sern - not because he lost his Salming stick after the match, but because of defending awesomely and controling the ball superbly to build-up our attacks from bottom.

~2 minutes silent for the lost of his Salming Sniper, Quest blade~

SFL Match Day 13 - Salibandy!Co vs Subang Rascals

Date: 21st April 2012

Time: 2pm to 4pm

Venue: Rakan Muda Puchong

Starting line-up:

Goallie: Serb

Defenders: Kel Sern, Song Sing and Ricky

Centers: Alvin / Terence

Forwards: Isaac Boo, Colin, Daniel Phang

1st period: Salibandy!Co 3 - Subang Rascals 4

2nd Period: Salibandy!Co 3 - Subang Rascals 8

3rd Period: Salibandy!Co 4 - Subang Rascals 11

Captain: Daniel Phang

Before the match started, we saw players such as Sjaiful, Dennis, Kamal, SASI!!!, etc etc... coming into the court. Although such big names are playing against us, but we did not put in to fear, but we still gave them a tough game.

Salibandy!Co played a 50% defense game. We manage to open the scoring as Daniel took advantage of a mistake by Sjaiful right in-front of the goal-post and scoring pass Sue. Subang later on got back an equalizer, but again Salibandy!Co manage to score one more to make the score 2-1. And yet again Subang equalized it, but again Salibandy!Co scored our 3rd goal by Isaac Boo! Although leading by 3-2 at that moment, Subang Rascals proved to be a more experience and skillful team, where they slowly chase back the scores and finally took the lead against us. Serb was on-form today as he made a lot of superb saves!

Our 4th goal at the 3rd period was one of the best as the Rascal's goallie made a superb double safes to deny 2 shots from us, but when the ball falls to Colin, he took the 3rd shot and scored pass Sue!!! Another superb goal was from our coach, doing an air-hook and scoring at the high-end of the goal-post.

Although our coach was our opponent at that time, he was still giving us some guidelines as how to defend and so on.

Our previous match against the Rascals was 13 - 5, and this time our score was 11 - 4. Little improvement, but this shows that in future, we're gonna do much better.

Match analysis:

Most of the time when our defenders have the ball, our only chance of attacking was to hit the ball far up to the opponent's court and hope our forwards are able to get the ball to attack. Once we loss the ball, everyone would fall back to defense position.

Our problem was that we did not have the ability to build-up the attack from defense to forward as our opponents was pressuring us at 80-90%. This would require us to train much harder on ball control, passing and positioning to be able to build-up attacks.

Conclusion: Good game, but could have done more damage to the Rascals if we had pass more and try to control the game.

SFL Match Day 12 - Bangi Rusty Blade vs Salibandy!Co

Date: 14th April 2012
Time: 8pm to 10pm
Venue: Rakan Muda Puchong

Starting line-up:
Goallie: Colin
Defenders: Kel Sern, Ricky and Song Sing
Centers: Alvin / Terence
Forwards: Terence, Daniel, Alice and Isaac Boo

1st Period: Bangi Rusty Blade 1 - Salibandy!Co 3
2nd Period: Bangi Rusty Blade 3 - Salibandy!Co 5
3rd Period: Bangi Rusty Blade 5 - Salibandy!Co 7

Captain: Daniel Phang

The match started with 3 early goals from Salibandy!Co contributed by Terence and Daniel in the 1st period. Straight after the 3rd goal, Bangi started their full press and manage to get a goal before the 1st period ended.

The match was much similar for the 2nd and 3rd period where Bangi score a goal, Salibandy!Co would also score one back to maintain a 2 goals lead. Difference is, 2nd and 3rd period was much more challlenging in terms of physical and mentally.

With Bangi pushing 100% press, our defenders did well to absord their pressures and to realise the ball to our forwards for counter-attacks. Our goallie also did well in catching long range shots and making a lot of decent saves.

Match analysis:

In evaluating the 5 goals that Bangi scored. 2 of the goals was due to our own mistakes and could have been prevented.

1) One of the goal scored by Bangi was from a free-hit near our goalpost. Our mistake was we felt that the referee decision was wrong and all our forwards kept on complaining about the wrong decision and did not form a wall and did not man-mark. Well, the opponents took full advantage and played the ball fast to their forward which was un-guard and he scored.

Once a referee makes a decision, he/she most likely won't change their decision. Plus, according to floorball rules, free hits can be taken at anytime, thus, we do not / cannot have time to complain.

2) Another of our mistake was when we had a free hit near opponent's goalpost. Mistake was that our defenders were too up in our opponent's area. When our forwards took the shot and it rebounded on the opponents, they took the ball and manage to out run our defenders and had a one on one with the goallie to score the goal.

For free hits in our halfs, then our defenders would take the free hits. As for free hits near opponent's goal, then forwards will take the hit. At the same time, our defenders should maintain a proper distance to prevent opponent from counter-attack.

Conclusion:

One area that we had done well, not prefect, but good enough was that we had manage to remain calm even when opponents were very physical and even when referees makes a decision, it may not always favour us. So no matter what the referee decides, we still need to play on and complete the game.

~Cheers~

SFL Match Day 11 - GMI BlackWings vs Salibandy!Co

Date: 7th April 2012

Time: 8pm to 10pm

Venue: Puchong Rakan Muda

Starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Colin

Defenders: Isaac Kong, Ricky, Kel Sern and Song Sing

Centers: Alvin and Keenan

Forwards: Daniel Phang, Terence, Vincent, Alice and Isaac Boo

Captain: Daniel Phang

1st Period: GMI BlackWings 4 - Salibandy!Co 1

2nd Period: GMI BlackWings 4 - Salibandy!Co 4

3rd Period: GMI BlackWings 5 - Salibandy!Co 8

Match analysis:

GMI BlackWings had been improving tremendously throughout this league, and true enough we were given a shock by this new team. Conceding 4 goals in the first period, and then going through a fight-back to win the game sounds too familiar to us already. Good thing is we have the never give-up attitude, bad thing is "what if" we're unable to fight-back? Thank God for the strength once again to come-back with a victory.

On the other hand, looking at the young and rising players of Salibandy!Co, you guys really did show improvement from match to match. It's ok if you guys find it difficult to score, it takes time, hard work and lot's of training and match experience before you have that "killer instinct".

I hope everyone remembers what Sasi ask us to do at home? Train yourself on ball dribbling/control and passing, shooting for at least 30 minutes daily. There's no short-cut to success.

Now that TARC exam is over. Wishing you guys a happy short holiday=)

SFL Match Day 10 - Gracebandy!Co vs Salibandy!Co

SFL Match Day 10 - Gracebandy!Co vs Salibandy!Co

Date: 17th March 2012
Time: 6pm-8pm
Venue: Rakan Muda Puchong

Starting line-up:
Goallie: Serb
Defenders: Ricky, Alvin & Kel Sern
Center: Terence
Forwards: Isaac Kong, Keenan (2nd period only), Isaac Boo and Alice

Captain: Kel Sern

1st period : Gracebandy!Co 0 - Salibandy!Co 1
2nd period :

Gracebandy!Co 1 - Salibandy!Co 5

3rd period : Gracebandy!Co 1 - Salibandy!Co 10

1st period:

We started off the match playing 50% as per what we've learnt. Truthfully, everything was alright and our defense looked very solid, forwards and defenders were passing the ball around the court. When opponents got the ball, we went back to 50%, very disciplined. However there were two times that we had the power play advantage and both times we did not convert it into a goal. The reason? We were too afraid and hesitated to attack because we were so used to our 50%. Well, the proper way to do it is to press opponents when we have power play. If you're tired, go and change, let others chase if you can't. Overall very good 1st period as we conserved our energy and kept our cool.

2nd period:

Not long after face off, Mervin broke down the middle and took a shot at goal which entered right above Serb's helmet. Well, we've been conceding quite a lot of long shot goals this season and here's another one. To prevent anymore far shot goals, forwards should block the angles, and shadow the opponents giving them no chance and space to take a shot. Now, it seems like that goal actually made everyone work together more defensively as we did not concede anymore after that. The reason? The forwards were running down to block the shooters and ball carriers, center was in the center, defenders got their men and all in all we really defended like a team :). Our possession and control over the game resulting in us taking the lead and extending it to 5-1 at the end of the 2nd period.

3rd period:

With confidence beaming, we entered the court again for the 3rd period. To be honest, the start of the 3rd period was very sloppy and we allowed Gracebandy!Co to get lots of possession and even have a few shots on target. However we managed to pull ourselves up and play like a team again. Defensively, offensively and possessionively =/.

Pointers:

1). We saw more of Isaac Boo, Kong, Keenan and Alice today as they had more playing time compared to the other games. Must say that they really impressed when the time came. Alice scored a goal, Keenan chased the ball even though he was sick, Boo shot a lot on target, and Kong did a fantastic defensive job.

2).However, there are still lots of blind passes, which is something we need to work on in order to improve.

3). Ball control and ball possession, need to be stronger and be able to protect our ball.

4). Shots! More more more shots!

5). Alvin, Ricky and Terence. You guys did very well today with passing, defending, shooting, etc. No need to say so much bout you guys lah, later Ricky kembang and score own goal in next match.

6).TEAMWORK. Because we worked together as a team, God gave us strength and team spirit brought us victory. Let's continue to keep working TOGETHER alright?

Salibandy!Co

SFL Match Day 9 - KLIUC Hornets vs Salibandy!Co

Starting line-up:
Goallie: Serb
Defenders: Song Sing, Ricky, Alvin & James
Centers: Terence and Jansen
Forwards: Jonathan, Colin, Daniel, Isaac Kong, Keenan and Kel Sern

Captain: Daniel Phang

Final Score: KLIUC Hornets 7 - Salibandy!Co 6

*sorry as I've forgoten the scores for each quarter.

Note:
Once again, we conceeded easy goals in the first and second period, but this time we didn't manage to do our usual comeback at the third period. It's never nice to taste defeat, but this is just a short-term pain to sharpen ourselves.

The sharpening process is always painful but in the end, it makes you a better player. (Provided you learn from this experience and not just go home and emo...)


"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even."
~ Mohammad Ali


There's 9 more matches to go, and this 9 matches will be more challenging compare to our previous 9 matches as every team, every player are continuesly improving. So we better train hard ourselves at home and commit in Friday's training under Coach Sasi.

During season 1 people come and ask me why I train so hard? and my answer is because my team is new and I need to train the extra mile to strenghten the team more. I believe this is how many of you who trains hard feels too. I hope that each player won't just train for self-benefit, but let's train for a bigger purpose. Let's train hard together so that Salibandy!Co will be the best! We are already half way there where many players view us as one of the top teams in Selangor. But it will only be confirm at the end of the season of what we really are.

1st Period: KLIUC Griffin 1 - Salibandy!Co 2

Scores from Salibandy!Co:
---> Terence 3 goals
---> Daniel 2 goals
---> Alvin 1 goal
---> Kel Sern 1 goal

Team analysis:

I guesse this week's analysis is much easy to write as our coach Sasi had sum it all properly and effectively.

Every match we'll shout "One Team One Way!" But did we really live up to the "One Team"? Until this match where Sasi made it easy for us to understand:

Sasi:"See! you're not fit to play, you must come for training!"

Sasi:"If you wanna play like that (solo), I'll bring you out to play alone!"

Sasi:"Pass the ball! If not I'll put you on the bench permanently!"

Sasi:" No one dribble the ball, PASS it! Let the ball do the work!"

*please don't take it personally, as this comments are to improve the team and ourselves. So for players who didn't played in this match, read these comments properly so as not to repeat mistake in coming matches.

Conclusion: We won the match in the 3rd period by one simple strategy = Passing

SFL Match Day 7 - Salibandy!Co vs Joker Prodigy

1st Period: Salibandy!Co 3 - Joker Prodigy 4
2nd Period: Salibandy!Co 6 - Joker Prodigy 6
3rd Period: Salibandy!Co 10 - Joker Prodigy 7

Scores from Salibandy!Co:
Terence ---> 3 goals
Alvin ---> 3 goals
Jonathan ---> 2 goals
Malao ---> 1 goal
Daniel ---> 1 goal

Goals conceded:
Match 1 vs Gang Bintang 12 goals
Match 2 vs Gracebandy!Co 4 goals
Match 3 vs GMI Blackwings 2 goals
Match 4 vs Bangi Rusty Blade 7 goals
Match 5 vs Subang Rascals 13 goals
Match 6 vs GMI White Knights 6 goals
Match 7 vs Joker 7 goals

Team analysis:

1) Overall it was a good performance by the team. Our defenders once again shown good control and possesion of the ball which is a vital factor of our team's good performace!

2) Our forwards too did well by creating scoring oppurcunities. Only thing is the forward will need to convert more of these oppurcunities into goals ya ^.^

3) We once again conceeded 4 goals in the first period, and later on conceeded lesser goals in the remainding 2nd and 3rd period. This was the same case during GMI WhiteKnights as well. If you think back on the draw vs GMI match compare to the win vs Joker match. We draw with GMI because we conceeded too much goals in 1st period but unable to score back because GMI defence and Goallie is IMBA! But Joker's defence and goallie not as good as GMI.

--> So looking at our next match vs Griffin where their defence and goallie is better than GMI and they conceeded much lessor goals than us... we must tighten our defence greatly especially in the 1st period if we want to win the match. If not history of GMI might return to haunt us.

4) Dear goallie, just some tips to improve:
---> when opponents are behind your goalpost, you should only turn your head to have a quick look behind and not to turn your whole body. This will help you be quick to get into proper positions.

---> always remember to cover the area in-between your two legs. To avoid being "kang lang" =/

Conclusion: We once again shown good fighting spirit to win the match when we conceeded so much in 1st period. But let's not take it for granted, but take it as a lesson and to improve more in defending as a team!

Salibandy!Co "One Team, One Way!!!"

Match 3 vs GMI Blackwings 2 goals
Match 4 vs Bangi Rusty Blade 7 goals
Match 5 vs Subang Rascals 13 goals

Match 6 vs GMI White Knights 6 goals

Team analysis:

General view:
1) The first period was the worst period we have played so far in this league. We didn't defend as a team, we didn't attack as a team, we didn't play as a team. When opponents attacked, forwards did not come down to help defend resulting in conceding 4 goals.

2) The second and third period showed everyone that we had a strong fighting and strong team spirit. We played much better and we played as a TEAM, resulting in conceding only 1 goal in each period.

3) Lack of passing - defenders not able to pass the ball to forwards because all forwards are too close to opponent's defenders.
---> Forwards need to run into empty space / come nearer to our defenders to receive the ball.

Conclusion: Honestly we did not improve and learn from our mistakes at all. The general views above are actually the same as that of other matches. If we do not fix these problems quickly, we will continue to be punished severely by other teams (old AND new). Time to learn guys! Remember, its not knowing, but learning that will actually make us improve as a team.

The difference? Some people know but repeat the same mistakes. Others learn and make new mistakes

Match 3 vs GMI Blackwings 2 goals
Match 4 vs Bangi Rusty Blade 7 goals
Match 5 vs Subang Rascals 13 goals

Team analysis:

General view:
1) We gave opponents too much time and space to make shots.
---> need to cover / close down / take down / block / stick to opponents fast before they even get to shot.

2) Our main scorer (Terence) was closely mark by opponents.
---> Other forwards need to take this oppurcunity to rise up and produce goals. We can't rely on one player only. Solution, everyone train super hard. We should aim to be best players in Malaysia, if not then why even do we want to train? ya.. =)

3) Lack of passing - defenders not able to pass the ball to forwards because all forwards are too close to opponent's defenders.
---> Forwards need to run into empty space / come nearer to our defenders to receive the ball.

Conclusion: In previous matches, we were always badly crush by Subang Rascals. But this match shows that this season we've became much stronger. Winning or lossing is one thing, most importantly is to continue to improve and to perform well in the remainding matches. GMI WhiteKnights also had shown great improvement this season. It's going to be another hard fought match!

Team Training - Session 2

Date: 10th February 2012

Second training session saw an increase in attendance, which is great! Because the more players we have in training, the more stronger our club will be. It's like investment. The more everyone invest in training, the more our club will benefit, and yourself also will definely benefit.

As usual, everyone started with warm-up before coach arrived. Which is good casue it would safe us more time for drills.

Training 1: Same as last week's training 1. (pls refer to Team Training - Session 1 - Training 1)

Training 2: With a player (P1) standing with a cone in the middle, another player (P2) stands at the left and another player (P3) stands at the right. P1 would pass the ball to P2, when p2 receives the ball and with proper EYE CONTACT, P1 would make a fake to one direction and then runs to the other direction to receive the ball from P2. P2 needs to be alert (eye contact) to know where to pass the ball.

After P1 does the fake and receive the ball from P2, P1 will bring the ball back to the cone at the middle and now pass it to P3 and does the same drill again with P3.

Training 3: This drill consist of a player standing behind the goal-post (P1) and all other players standing at the middle court by the side (P2).

P2 starts with the ball at middle court, then shouts to P1 to "fake". P1 makes a fake to one direction and runs to the other direction to receive the ball. When P1 makes the fake, P2 would pass the ball to P1 and then P1 will pass the ball back to P2 for P2 to make a shot on goal.

After P2 makes the shot, P2 will replace P1's position behind the goal-post.

Important notes: Always keep the blade on the ground to prepare to shot. Ground passes are important for players to receive and pass the ball properly which will result in a good shot / goal.

Training 4: This drill consists of 4 attacking players (F4) and 2 defending players (D2) and a goallie.

F4 will pass the ball around to each other while D2 will try to prevent those passes. Objective of the drill is to make 10 complete passes, do a fake to receive the ball and shot on goal.

Important note:
(a) When passing the ball, always keep yourself away from the defenders. Pass the ball to wide areas.

(b) When making a pass, give your BEST pass, so you can confirm that your teammate is able to receive the ball and thus able to pass back the ball to you.

(c) After the 10 passes are complete, you'll need to be patient to create oppurcunities to take a shot.

Quate of the day by coach Sasi:

Subang Rascals are like Michael Jordan, Salibandy!Co are like babies. If Subang losses, Subang will feel ashame. But if Sali losses, there's nothing to be ashame. Therefore, go in the match without fear.

If baby tries to run against Michael Jordan, baby will get injured. So don't run, but craw. Do what you're good at during match, don't do new things which you are not yet good at.

Keep to the basics we've learn and we'll be fine during game.

And finally, pray to the Lord!

Match 2 vs Gracebandy!Co 4 goals

Match 3 vs GMI Blackwings 2 goals

Match 4 vs Bang Rusty Blade 7 goals

Team analysis:

1) Forwards & Centers: As what Suresh mention, line 1 is okay in attacking but lack of passing the ball back to defenders. Line 2 will need to work harder. Guys, train hard and I promise you'll improve a lot. Attend the Friday's training regularly and also train ball control and shooting at home. Train hard means spent at least 1 hour a day to train.

2) Defenders: Defenders always have the extra pressure while defending and when goals are conceded. But good job to our defenders this time, with only 3 defenders rotating, you guys work really hard. Although some mistakes had cause opponents to score, but overall you all had been solid. Forwards too have responsibilities in defending.

3) Goalkeeper: After Friday's training, you had been more solid and more confident. Good positioning had help safe a lot of goals. Just need to work on low shots. Had improve at throwing the ball at the 3rd period. Remember, you can stand up and look for better options to throw the ball. Besides, when standing up, you will be able to throw it harder and more accurate.

4) Areas to improve: (a) do not pass ball at the center (danger zone). (b) Last man (defender) do not dribble the ball up. (c) Forwards need to pass the ball back to defenders. (d) All players need to take down opponents fast to prevent them from shooting.

Conclusion: Drink salt water + good warm-up is able to prevent leg crams. We're currently 3rd placing at the table, but there's still a long way to go. So let's stay together as a team, train together and continue to be one with our Lord. "One Team One Way!"

* be at court at least 30 minutes early to set up boards and warm-up (Sasi did mention about punctuality)

Training 1: All players stands at 2 rows at each side of the court. 2 center players at the center will pass the ball around to the players at the side non-stop for 2 minutes. The 2 center players must call for the ball (call names). Training pace must be as intense as real match situation.

b) D1 will try to block F1's passing while D2 will try to man-mark F2.

c) When F2 receives the ball, F1 will then fake D1 to receive the pass from F2 to make a shot.

* Note1: F1 need to have eye-contact with F2 to know when to pass the ball.

* Note2: F2 need to fake D2 by going one direction (looks like really wants the ball) but then changes direction to the other side to receive the pass from F1.

Comments from Coach:

1) Every player need to go home and draw out the training drills and visualize it. It's important to do more THINKING!

2) Go home and train on ball control. The lower your body goes, the further vision your eyes will have on the court.

3) Those who have leg crams, please drink salt water during the match.

4) If you know wrist-shot, then you can score a lot of goals. Train more shots at home so you'll be able to explore more about the stick and the shots.

5) Very important to call each other's name during the game. It will create eye contact and confidence among the players.

Match 1 vs Gang Bintang 12 goals
Match 2 vs Gracebandy!Co 4 goals
Match 3 vs GMI Blackwings 2 goals

Man Of The Match: Leon (top assist for the day!)

Team analysis:

1) Overall performance wasn't as good as the previous 2 matches, but we still manage a win. It won't be the same result if we were against stronger teams. It's either because Sasi wasn't around or we had under-estimated our opponents. We must step-up from this low form if we want to win against Bangi next match!

2) What Kel Sern said was true... when opponents attacked our goal, not every player bothered to run down to defend. Againts stronger teams, such as Bangi, we must not let this happen again. When we attack, we attack as a team, when we need to defend, we defend as a team!

3) Lack of passing and didn't manage to create enough scoring oppurcunities to get more goals.

4) Well, every team including the best team will go through good form and bad form. But what determines a champion is to manage to maintain good form for most of the matches, and hopefully for every match.

Conclusion: A win is still a win. Great job guys! We shall grow stronger after each match.

Goals conceded:
Match 1 vs Gang Bintang --> 12 goals
Match 2 vs Garcebandy!Co --> 4 goals

Man Of The Match: Terence

Team analysis:

1) Forwards: According to statistic, our forwards did well this time to score plenty of goals compared to Match 1 against Gang Bintang. What's amazing was to see all the forwards getting their names on the scoreboard. Job well done!

Area to improve: Sasi mention that it's very hard for 1 player to dribble the ball up and score by himself. Forwards need to have the ability to receive the ball, control and find oppurcunities for teammates to score. As for the other forward who doesn't has the ball, your job is to run into open space to receive those passes.

Forwards also needs to contribute more in defending.

When we were leading, Sasi did mention to remain at 70%, then preassure the opponents and come back 70% again. But what we did was still 100%. It's important to follow the intructions of our coach as it's part of the strategy and to be able to remain it as teamwork. If players don't follow the plan, then it'l be difficult to have teamwork.

2) Centers: Main job is to build up attacks and at the same time protect the defenders.

Areas to improve: Stamina to form an attack and to run back to defend at all times. Ability to connect the defender's passes to the forward's attack.

3) Defenders: Same as the Match 1, defenders was able to show control of passing within own half. Strong defensive runs to prevent opponents from out-running us. Was able to stand against the physical challenge from opponents.

Areas to improve: Defenders was able to pass the ball within own half to control, but many times our ball pocession was lost when we passes the ball up front. Forwards and Centers will need to work hard to find openings for defenders to have a good pass up front. Defenders need to be fast to prevent opponents from making shots.

4) Goalkeeper: First time goallie for the club. Would like to thanks James and Colin for willing to take up this challenge to sit in as goallie during the absents of Bob. I've experince being goallie before and understand the urge in goallies to want to just grap a stick, run up to fight for the ball and to score goals. But to be goallie, this is the sacrifice needed to stand in the post at all times.

Good job as many shots from opponents was safe. Mainly due to good positioning and good focus. The 4 goals conceded were good goals from the opponents and difficult to prevent.

Area to improve is the ball throwing part. Few times the ball was thrown directly to opponents near the danger zone. If there is no good option to throw, goallie should hold the ball, stand up and look for other better options. No rush.

5) General to all players: Sasi mention that fitness is very important to play floorball as our body must have the ability to change directions within 1 second.

He mention that there are highly skilled, middle skilled and low skilled players. Well, let's keep it simple and let's all train hard so all players will be highly skilled?

Conclusion: Salibandy!Co first win of the season. Many more matches to go, so we all need to remain focus and continue to improve. Match 1 conceded 12 goals, Match 2 conceded 4 goals, Match 3 if we keep clean sheet, I'll belanja all players drink after the match!

SFL Match Day 1

Summary of Gang Bintang vs Salibandy!Co

Venue: Puchong Rakan Muda Complex
Time: 4pm to 6pm

Starting Line-up:

Goal Keeper: James
Defenders: Ricky, Kel Sern and Daniel Phang
Centers: Alvin and Isaac Boo
Forwards: Terence, Jonathan, Vincent and Leon

Captain: Daniel Phang

Referees: Suresh and Taqi

1st Period: Gang Bintang 2 - Salibandy!Co 3

3rd Period: Gang Bintang 12 - Salibandy!Co 9

Scores from Salibandy!Co
--> Daniel Phang 4 goals
--> Alvin Lee 2 goals
--> Terence 1 goal
--> Jonathan 1 goal

Man Of The Match: Daniel Phang and James

Team analysis:

1) Most the goals scored is from defender, therefore the forwards need to work extra hard to get the goals since scoring goals is the job of forwards. Did well in preasuring opponents and wining the ball. In addition, forwards need to have the ability to hold the ball upfront and create scoring oppurcunities. Train more ball control and shooting!

2) Defenders was able to control the game by good team passing in own half. Well done! Shall continue to keep our passing culture in every game.

3) Goalkeeper, this was your first match as a goallie and your debut match for Salibandy!Co, great job!!! Keep on train hard and you'll be a great player.

4) We were leading in the 1st and 2nd period because we are now stronger in terms of ability and more attacking power. We lost in the final period mainly due to lack of physical and stamina. We need to train MORE on STAMINA, if not history will repeat again!

5) Remember to do warm-up before start of game. You all know what I mean >.<

Conclusion: Salibandy!Co prove that we are capable of wining the best team (defending champions for 2 season) but just lack of physical fitness and man power which resulted in a defeat in the final period.
