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.

Player Rating: Firebrands vs Ztec Griffins

5 = world class
4 = superb
3 = good
2 = ok ok
1 = bad

Firebrands:
Gk:
Bryan Koh 3
The keeper was again in rich vein of form with saves after saves, keeping Firebrands in the lead for long periods of time. 2 unlucky goals due to inexperience in floorball rules and free hit was not the best reward for the man in form.

Defenders:
Alex Low 2
A good effort by the capt who was like a raging lion on court, gave his best, but the lack of experience really took a bad toll as he was sent off 3 times, one which let in the equalizer.

Andrew Chan 3
The steel in the heart of Firebrand’s defence. Picked up where he left off from the game against Bullets and was resolute in keeping Griffin’s at back. Less fouls committed compared to his team mates.

Attackers:
James Tan 2
Finally unleashed after missing the opening match. Rarely challenge the Griffins with his speed and strength as he ended up staying back and help out in defense holding on to the lead.

Daniel Tan 3
Firebrands’ heat ball-seeking missile up front, giving the Griffins a really hard time with his intense forechecking, conceding them to mistakes which lead to scoring opportunities. Firebrands’ first and only goal for the league was from his solo effort after winning the ball combining with some defensive mix up.

Chan Per Yue 2
It is always a joy to see young cikus like the boy expressing himself on court. Pretty decent in his technique. More games for him coach.


Jouhua Tong Jia Xin 2

Ztec Griffins:
Gk:
Leo Nard 2
Didn't have much to do, although he could have done better dealing with the first goal. Made a big big helmet save in the dying minutes to prevent Firebrands from getting the equalizer.

Defenders:
Gim Hoong 2
A total different person compared to the game against the Phoenix. Must have left his oxygen tank back home as the boy was shopping all over the court. Other than the odd run up front, the defender lack drive and enthusiasm which was much need against a stubborn Firebrands.

Brandon Pereira 3
A switch of roles, as it was Brandon with the attacking runs forward this time around and did not neglect his defensive duties. He was strong in the Ztec Griffins defence, other than the silly sending off for playing without a stick. Assisted the equalising goal.

Wayne Tan (Did not play enough to be rated)

Attackers:
Amos Lim 2
Like Gim Hoong, tried hard but was always second in all the mid section challenges. Sort of redeemed himself as it was his assist from a free hit that led to the winning goal.

Dominic Ewe 3
This boy was contantly charging into Firebrands defenders and closing down alot of spaces in the Firebrands zone. on the move and had numerous scoring opportunity before finally slotting in the equalizer. Keep it up.

Yuh Ting 3
She ran tirelessly on court closing down the defenders. Had a few decent shots at goal, which could have resulted in goals. Definately a very encouraging effort from this new floorball player. Keep up the good work!

Daniel Boey 2
A decent game for the boy but caught the headlines with his decisive winning goal and rob Firebrands off with all 2 points.
