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.

PFL'09 Div 2 Review: All Star Team

Like all Floorball tournaments, it is a tradition to name an All-Star team, acknowledging the best players of the 6 different positions in a team. So, for PFL 2009 Div 2, we present to you, the All -Star Team, as selected by PFA, the organisers for PFL.

They are:

GK: Bryan Koh(3.00/5) - Firebrands
The goalie had his first tastes of floorball in 2008 with Frontliners, switching allegiance this year with Firebrands and has since, been the star performer of the league. Although he has conceded the most goals in the league, the goalie's outstanding goalkeeping outshone his peers. The boy has great potential if he continues down this path.
Keep it up!

RD: Don Shakir(2.75/4) - Contact Bullets
Don't be fooled by his size and his age. The defender, with his second outing under Contact, continue to improve and impress. Calm and confident with the ball, always looking for a pass and a hard trainer. With all these qualities and under the guidance of the current State/National Coach, a future star is in the making.
No doubt.

LD: Kerry Mahoney(3.25/4) - Dalat Falcons
Big, strong, solid and experience. The veteran was the sole reason for Dalat's come back after a disappointing start. His presence gave the attackers license to roam up front without second thoughts, which saw them bang in goals after goals. An absolute pick for the All Star Team.

C: Adrian Koay(2.8/5) - Ztec Phoenix
The tagged Mr. Consistency says it all. Ever present for the team, the formidable centre, with his work ethics and often crucial goal scoring knack, propelled his team onto the top spot and a gold medal. By all means Division 1 material, see you there next year.

RF: Sheryn Ng(2.75/4) - Contact Bullets
A seasoned state player for the state team, the lady is one of the best women's floorballer in the league. Although not an efficient goal scorer, her movement and positioning into threatening areas is second to none. An improved finishing will see her high up on the scoring charts.

LF: Reagan Mahoney(2.67/3) - Dalat Falcons
The kid might not have much games under his belt but every game with him in, Falcons attacks seems more lively. Good technique and attacking sense, more competitions will do him good. 5 goals in 3 games need we say more? Well, maybe more passes to spicy things up a bit. Keep it up!
