Don Shakir
Don stood out for all the right reasons.
Small yet physically strong.
Young yet matured understanding of the game.
It's a refreshing sight to see young players rising up from such tender age. Don is definitely one of these young guns.
His composure is beyond his age for sure. He never seemed to panic when he's being pressured by opponents. The jitters never even came close to cause an itch on him. His understanding and vision for the game is another plus point. He always look out for his team mates; his sense of awareness is always intact. Placed as a defender, his positioning really isn't too bad at all. He seemed to make the right calls at the right time - backtrack when he was suppose to and commit when he was suppose to - an intuitive and natural defender.
Having all that qualities, it's safe to say that Don is a future floorballer, a true floorball player. Though it's obvious he looses out on in physique and technical skills, it's just something that requires him to be patient because sooner or later, he will get there. No doubt about that.
Throughout the league, he had been quite consistent with his style of play. In fact, he is one of the very few players in Contact Bullets to stay consistent throughout. Others seemed to have "mood swings". His partnership with another young gun, Lim Kai Sheng, seemed to be growing stronger after each game. Kai Sheng, who also shone occasionally, along with Don, could make out a formidable partnership in the defense of Contact Bullets.
Both are still young, which means they have more time and opportunity to pick up the pieces.

Contact Bullets was made up by a bunch of young guns who were well trained by the State/ National coach and with that, they were expected to mount serious challenge on the title, or at least get a medal.
They failed the to be the champ but did in the end, win the silver medal not after facing some fair share of roller coaster rides.
They started of with a signal of intent by thumping Firebrands. Bullets, like hot blade over butter, craved open the newbie's defences with their superior techniques and positioning, scoring 8 without reply.
When we thought they will be on the run, doing the same against a reshuffled 300, they slumped, into deep slumber. Not just bad finishing. they surrender the crucial centre to 300, crumbling in defeat.
Their third against the mighty Falcons, it was thought to be the nail in the coffin, sealing of the title race. Yet, who would have known that Falcons would concede a walkover, gifting Bullets the much needed lift.
They did suffered a worthy defeat against a much much superior opponent and to the eventual champions, Phoenix but bounced back with strong wits against Griffins, winning by a goal.
Bullets proved to be a team full of potential, but unlike others, they are well nurtured with the essence of floorball. It is fair to say that they were the only team that played real floorball. However, like all others, they too struggle to overcome the "inconsistency bug".
No rush though.
With time on their side, under professional guidance, it would be a matter of time before these young guns take shape into a mature team.
Keep it up!!!
