And so, PFL Division 1 2009 has finally come to an end, and what else other than the revelation the All Star Team as the perfect closure. There were plenty who made their mark this year and stood a chance to be named—but these are the best of the best; the cream of the crop; the match winners—the ones who stood out and lit up the league this year with their goals, their vision, their tackles, and their flair.
Goalkeeper: Kao Lin Ken (Innebandy!Co.)
He might not be the most worked goalie in terms of work load but the National No. 1 definitely streets ahead in terms of technique, agility and experience compared to the rest. For a title aspiring team, Innebandy's defence seems relatively inexperience for a title aspiring team, and often caught ball watching. When breach, Lin Ken will be the final hope and the goalie rarely failed to respond when called upon. He did have his off days, like the Spartan game, conceding some soft goals but other than that, he had been solid throughout the league and was exceptionaly superb when they faced 8cers, keeping the score line to a minimal 5. Next stop, APAC All Star? ^^
Right Defender: Jeremy Yeap (Ztec 8cers)
Speed, anticipation blend with flair abundance, the flamboyant defender dazzle and mazzle through defences throughout the league, just the kind of entertainment to lighten up the stadium. Unlike most, this one is no show pony, he possess not only style but also quality, as he dictated most of the teams play form the back, supply array of passes up front as well as providing support in offence. The only negative would be the fumbles that comes when the trickery fails, although he often manages to cover up with his speed and experience. No complains as long as the team wins.
Left Defender: Sam Teoh (Innebandy!Co.)
Like his All Star partner, Sam is also a true example of how a defender should be play. Decisive and brave in defence, possessing great vision and accurate passes, and not shy to take a shot when the opportunity falls on his blade. Less fancy than Jeremy and far more solid at back, the versatile Sam place himself at the back and was the Great Wall of Innebandy. The blocks and interception must have made Lin Ken boring between the post, while his forays definitely lifted some pressure of Deswyn who was fighting a tough battle at the center. There were no contenders whatsoever for his spot, best defender of the league, period.
Centre: Deswyn Wan (Innebandy!Co.)
People must be dead tired seeing "Innebandy!Co." for the third time in the list, but what to do when you have 3 National regulars in your team. And the best of the best is this one here. Pools of words had gone dry trying to describe Deswyn, the most complete player ever produced in Malaysia, so Far.(Hoping more to see more in the future) Although the centre did not shine as expected,he was the heartbeat of Innebandy, there is nothing that doesn't involve him when his on court. He and Sam, deadly duo up front, tearing defenses apart while rock solid behind, shutting up the most lethal strike force of the league, Ztec 8cers to a mere 5 by playing the full 40 mins! However, the teams over reliance on him made him an easy target as he often find himself surround, and yet he still manages to sit 3rd on the point chart underlines his superiority and ability to bring others around him into the play.
Right Forward: Chiam Ter Min (Ztec 8cers)
It is not a coincidence Team Malaysia's APAC 2009 Point Leader is also PFL Div 1 2009's Point Leader, plus joint Top Scorer and Top Assists. He is one of the best players in Malaysia, if not the best. One would question if the lad is not in the All Star Team. Although he opted to play a more forward role, Ter Min style of player differs form a typical forward, he tends to drop back slightly and that is why he is most deadly. The prefect range for his outrageous shots; in a flash it turns into a deadly pass to one of his mate; also the perfect spot to link up the forwards and the defense. And at times, when desperate time calls for desperate measures, he would step up the plate and produce a little bit of magic. The talisman of 8cers is an absolute pick for the All Star will his all round performance throughout the league.
Left Forward: Bryan Looi (Contact FireAnts)
Trailing Ter Min behind the point chart for a U-15 seems like mission impossible, not when you have Bryan Looi in your team. The boy is another undisputed pick, as there is no other better left forward in Malaysia let alone the league than the up and rising star of FireAnats. He has grown tremendously since his debut few years back, and this year, with his build up in terms of physique(meaning more endurance in body checks) and refinement in techniques. Together with his Mentor, Edward Lim, they struck fear to defences throughout the league, as they often slice through defense with some marvelous exchanges of passes. Once in awhile, the boy would also crack up a skill or two, going solo and scoring some great goals.
