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.

3. Nicholas Yeoh - 8 points (5+3)


Best player:
It was a choice between the master(Edward Lim) and the disciple(Bryan Looi). Both equal deadly but deadliest when combine. But to pick one, Borak when for the one with more potential and more flair of the two, Bryan Looi.

He was easily Contact FireAnts' most outstanding player throughout the league and was in the class of his own. First an unnoticed charge down the channels to receive a pass; then going inward pass his maker with his a piece for brilliant ball control and finally sealing the move with a shot which often lands inside the net. How often have the opponents see that trademark move and yet unable to stop him? Finishing 2nd in the point chart with 12 goals and 7 assist and landing himself a slot in the All Star team is just shows how good the boy is. And the best is yet to come from the teenager, every season his going to get stronger and better, bad news for the rest, good news for Malaysia Floorball. Bet the National Coach can wait for him to come of age!


Borak says:
It was never easy to defend a title in to start with. Contact FireAnts getting off with to a slow start again certainly didn't help, especially when the first two fixtures was against Ztec 8cers and Innebandy!Co..

The two losts really dim their hopes in retaining the title but as they picked themselves up with their own brand of floorball. Plenty of great movement from the forwards and good play ups caused tonnes of problems for their next three opponents which none survived, most notable victim: eventual runners-up, Spartans.

With the gain of maximum points of 6 saw them levelled with Innebandy!Co., but the earlier defeat against meant that they will end up empty handed this season.
