Closure for PFL 2009
The Penang Floorball League 2009 ended on the 4th Aug with great satisfaction as all the teams enjoyed themselves in the 2 month long league. The games were filled with great anticipation, energy, and team spirit. Team Contact did not start the league well losing our first 2 games which were there most important in the league for us. However, we managed to come back and will all the remaining 3 games, but that was not enough to secure us a medal.
As there has already been much written about the games in the league, we did not think it necessary for us to write another review. So here are some of the reviews on our games with Minden UniHawks, Dalat Eagles, and Frontliners Spartans. Overall, the team played well and we are pleased with the synergy. We have learnt many things from this league as a team and as individuals as well. We are please to have every single person who has contributed to the making of the team. Thanks to all players and supporters!!

FireAnts Crumble
The second game in the Penang Floorball League was the key to FireAnts in trying to secure a medal. Knowing the strength of the teams in the league, it was important that the FireAnts win this one. The game between FireAnts and Innebandy has always been interesting as both teams are very similar in many ways. Thus it was important to go into the game fighting and sticking to a strategy.
The game started off rather well with both teams having equal chances but it was FireAnts who made their first defensive error which resulted in a goal against us. We fought on to equalise and it was a very tight first period as both teams drew 2-2 at the end of the period.
The second period started strong for the FireAnts with a goal coming within the first 10 seconds from the whistle. Innebandy equalised a couple of minutes later and the intensity of the game picked up tremendously after that. A controversial penalty was given against us, and things were downhill after that. Players began to loose focus and the strategy was falling apart. In the last 2 minutes of the game FireAnts practically gave 2 goals to Innebandy due to very silly defensive errors. End game 6-3 to Innebandy.
A sad day for FireAnts. Lessons on focus and mental strength need to be learnt as we saw it dropand crumble in the last two games with affected the results. Check out what others have to say in Borak Borak. Just click here.
3 more games to go and if FireAnts want to see anything from this year's league we will have to definately improve in the area of mental strength and teamwork. There is however, still a mathematical possibility of retaining the championship. We just need a miracle. ;)

Yet Another Slow Start
The Division One Penang Floorball League has just begun and Contact FireAnts being defending champions had to play the first game last Tuesday. It was not something that we wanted knowing that it will take some time for us to get into the league. We had never started strong as a team in all our previous outings. Something that we need to break away from. Besides that, we had to play the favorites to take the championship this year.
Well, as usual the FireAnts took a long time to get into the game. The team even seemed to be getting older as it struggled to play with a much faster team. Within minutes into the game and Ztec opened the score. It was a quick counter attack and from that point on the defense was just lost. Final score 0-7.
Although we knew that this was going to be a tough game and that the chances of winning were very very slim, we also know now that the sluggishness of the team contributed to the big scoreline. The only consolation that the team had was a goal scored by Edward in the second period that was disallowed by the referees as the whistle had gone just before the shot was taken.
Time for FireAnts to get their act together and play their game. Lets look forward to the next game coming on the 25th June. See you all there!

Club Anthem
It has been a long time since we have added anything into our blog. Apologies to all who have been following.
PFL Division 2 is over and there has been much written about it in borakborakfloorball, so we will not repeat ourselves here (although we must say that not everything that is written there may be in agreement with our full opinion).
Division 1 is just around the corner and teams are ready to play their hearts out. We want to take this opportunity to introduce the team anthem that we have adopted. It is the motivation to our games and how we play them. Enjoy it by clicking the sidebox.

Running After You
Your Word is a light unto my path
Your Love guides me through my darkest night
And even though sometimes Your ways
I cannot understand
I’ll never walk away because my future’s in Your hands
I don’t care what people will say
I’m running after You
I won’t turn back and go their way
Coz I’m running after You
Yeah I’m running after You
I’m running after You
(I will run to You)
I don’t care what people will say
I’m running after You
I won’t turn back and go their way
Coz I’m running after You
Don’t matter what may come my way
I’m running after you
It’s You I’m following today
I’m running after You
I’m running after You
