About Us

What is Borak-Borak Floorball?

Borak-Borak Floorball (BBF) was initiated by a group of three avid floorballers from Penang, Malaysia. The interest sparked off due to a certain passion for the sport and a keen desire to share that passion to others. With that, came the idea of 'borak-borak'.

What does the term "Borak-Borak" actually mean?

"Borak-borak" is a Malaysian lingo that equates to the English word "chit-chat". The phrase is commonly used and has somewhat the power to identify one's identity as a Malaysian. BBF is passionate to 'chit-chat' about the happenings and events of floorball, first in Penang and then the other parts of Malaysia. With that in mind, Borak-Borak Floorball came into existence.

Who are we?


BBF comprises mainly of three suspects under the pseudonyms of Jose, Bendy and Spritzer. However, BBF has also taken in hired-for-free reporters in their effort to cover as many grounds as possible.

NOTE: BBF is not an official website to any organization or governing body. We are merely a group of passionate floorballers who seek to share this passion to others. We strive to be courteous, neutral and honest in our opinions, thoughts, reviews and analyses.

Our vision?

BBF sought to 'talk big' and 'talk much' about floorball. We hope to represent the floorball community in Penang as well as the nation, Malaysia, in the bigger picture. We want to be a voice for floorball in the present and future generation, a voice to be heard not for recognition but for the ultimate growth and development of floorball in Malaysia.

Team Preview: Contact Bullets

Contact Bullets (Contact Sports)

Last Season: Division 2 - 3rd out of 4 teams

Division 2 team of Contact Sports this time will be under the guidance of Coach Kenny Khoo.

The players are almost the same like last year, in fact they have a full women’s line. Don't play play, these girls are drilled by "The One" and have been coming regularly for state training, play too much you might kena slap on the face. Watch out for the girl power!

Most likely the only team in this division to play real floorball. (Eh, look who's the coach?) At least expect them to improve a bit with all the retention and regular trainings. Like 300, got girls, got budak-budak, hard to play against physical teams with older, bigger boys. And another thing to expect from Contact would be their loud roaring support from the player's parents and NOT forgetting James "Thunder" Looi.

Key Player:
Sheryn Ng. The most experience player in the team, somemore play so long already. One of the core players in the state team as well. Her ability is well proven in last year’s PFL campaign and last September’s Z’Liner-PFA Floorball Challenge, scoring crucial goals. We expect to see the same thing this year as well lo.

Rising Rookie:
Don. Budak kecik. Second time in the league. Got a lot of potential la. Quite good in control, must have been practising hard. After all the hard work, now is the time to release it all on the court!

Predictions:
Bendy:
3rd. They are medal contenders, definitely mid table kaki. But I think Dalat Falcons and Ztec Phoenix are too tough for them, so bronze achievable la. Silver will be bonus if they can draw with ZPX, but will have to see goal difference lo provided they win the rest. Loads of hard work la, watch out for one or two teams behind that can backstab them for the medal.

Jose:
Contact Bullets in my opinion will finish 3rd. Although this would be their 2nd outing as a team but I feel the lack of size and speed would prove to be their biggest downfall. However looking on the bright side, these 'kids' will once again gain valuable experience when playing with bigger boys. And hopefully they will get better as they get older.
