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: Ztec Phoenix vs Dalat Falcons

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

Ztec Phoenix:
Gk:
Yung Ming 3
Finally the keeper has some work to do, numerous close range shots form Falcons were dealt with instinctive saves. Was rarely threaten by their long shots as well. Came close to conceding from two wicked deflections but other than that, a good game.

Defenders:
Jack Lee 2

Chern Harng 2
Opening the scoring from a fluke shot. Keeper's error but credit given for even trying to take a shot so far out. Was slightly uncertain in defending during the second, need to be more confident against Dalat's tough forwards.

Siu Keong 2

Attackers:

Adrian Koay 3
Capt was on the score sheet again, a superb solo effort and had a much more influential performance compared to the last. Was bossing the center with some good interceptions and counter attacking.

Teik Hong 3
Shift up to forward position and was raring to go. Fought for every ball up front and had several fruitless solo runs. Connected telepathically to Samuel Ong's cross, cleared and unmarked at least 3 times but lack the finishing as he only scored one. A very tenacious performance by the boy.

Samuel Ong 3
Playing like a typical winger, the forward bombarded down the flanks consistently. His crosses some how kept connecting with Teik Hong, like steel and magnet only for Teik Hong to squander the chances. And the only ball which Teik Hong did converted, the assist was not recorded, what a pity.

Calvindav 2

Wei Jin 2


Dalat Falcons:
Gk:
Daniel Kim 2
Lapse of concentration gifted Phoenix the first goal, but came back rather ok considering his inexperience and lack of basic. Pull of some decent saves. Not individually to blame for the other goals as they were more due to collective mistakes.

Defenders:
Michelle Prestidge 2
A tough, no nonsense defender. Made several crucial interceptions but concede a lot of fouls along the way which lead to free hit in dangerous areas.

Kerry Mahoney 3
Another solid game by the old guard, tough and uncompromising in halting Phoenix's forward runs. Also contributed well in attacking with some key passes up front and several long shots.

Brian Weidemann 2

Attackers:
Jared Williams 2

Andy Goh 2

Drew Steiert 3
The capt has worked his socks off, doing the work of two forwards but faded off slightly after the break. Still unable to rediscover his scoring touch as he came close on numerous occasions but failed to convert. 5 star for work rate though.

Allan Goh 2

Kyle Ladner 2
Capped a great first half performance with Dalat's only goal off the match. Creating havoc with his solo efforts but rarely look like scoring.

Riley Mahoney 3
A decent game for the forward who came close a few times in the second half with his hard pressing and solo runs but like his teammates, unable to put it pass the keeper.
