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: Frontliners 300 vs Firebrands

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

Firebrands:
Gk:
Bryan Koh 3
Was helpless in preventing the goals having his vision impaired by the crowd in front of him but was definitely key in preserving Firebrands' draw in the dying minutes when 300 went all out. Not forgetting a penalty save against Mikey.

Defenders:
Alex Low 3
A very good effort from Alex who has been improving from game to game. Was a defensive rock for his team in this match. Good effort!

Andrew Chan 3
Another solid performance by the defender who compensated his lack of skills with intimidating aggressiveness. A poor game by Mike is a good reflection of his hard work. Although a split second lapse of concentration gift Mike a contender for goal of the league.

Ong Zi Hoong 2

Attackers:
James Tan 3
The driving force of Firebrand for the day. His unmatchable fitness was what stood him out amongst everyone and he utilised it with great effectiveness, covering every inch of the court, supporting in attack and limiting the opponents' attacking options.

Daniel Tan 2
An eyesore for defenders with his electrifying pace, causing all sorts of problems in 300's half but was rather lazy today compared to previous games. Nevertheless, it was another 2 goals to bring his tally up to 5 in the scoring charts.

Frontliners 300:
Gk:
Soon Khai 2
A decent game with some decent saves but his anticipation let him down a couple of times costing him 2 goals. Other than the risky penalty saved, was rarely threaten by the wasteful Firebrands.

Defenders:
June Kew 3
Michael might be the one with the magic, but Ms. Consistency has been producing the same goods throughout the league. Her decent defensive senses and Pei-Li-ish aggression won her numerous possession which she released it wastefully, an area in need of improvements. Although the bench penalties may have dimmed her glowing performance a little.

Sonia Gopal 2

Roselyn Ewe 2

Attackers:
Michael Cheah 2
A disappointing performance by his standard. Didn't contribute much other than the two crucial goals as he was struggling due to both fatigue and tight marking by Firebrands.

Mekanath 2
Tried to imposed himself throughout the game fighting for all the lose balls for Frontliners upfront. Must have felt really lonely as he does not get a fair share of supply from his fellow team mates.

Julian Tan 2
Was not in his energetic best as he seems reluctant to run, especially for loose balls and rebounds which would have change the face of the game.

Tristan James 2
