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.

2. Rishavan Sasidaran (2+0)
Christopher Koh (1+1) - 2 points


Best player:
Against big giants, Sarah Ng stood out. Against bigger giants, Chris Koh stood out. Neither of them deserved not to be named best player—not these two pillars of UniHawks’ team. Yet it must be said that when it mattered most, against the giants—Chris was the one who shone brighter.

Give Sarah the ball and she can do wonderful things with it, blindfolded. But Chris, with or without the ball, makes his presence felt.

Technically, he was as good as anyone could be. Physically too, Chris was right up there with the best. With better teammates, he could have led the team much further — but UniHawks is where his heart is. Look forward to a better, meaner Chris Koh next year.

Borak says:
Perhaps UniHawks’ last game against Ztec 8cers was a fitting end that summed up their campaign this year. Packed defensively — always playing with no less than three in their own half; a single hustler up front — most of the time chasing shadows. But somehow still have the knack of stinging you from behind if you drop your guard.
Weak?

No way. Their match against Spartans proved anything but weak.
UniHawks just missed that one jigsaw piece that would complement the dynamic duo of Chris and Sarah. These two are creators and playmakers, who would rather create an opening and watch another slam it in than to ram their way in and win the glory.
UniHawks lacked a finisher. Nonetheless, great spirit from this team, as always!
