My experience in Penang? I will just summarise everything and keep it as short as possible. The hospitality shown by Pastor Edward, Kor Kor Kenny and Jie Jie Penny touched me.They drove us around, everyday, thanks a lot. Floorball? Yeah, it is a team game which most Sabahans stil cannot conceptualise. The Penangites showed us loads sbout floorball- the way it should be played. It was a vast difference that can be seen between us-Nomad and the Penang Teams from Day One. The Penangites, were far ahead of us in terms of technical skills, movements and understanding of the game. We got thrashed the whole week, 24-4 to Ztec, 6-3 to the state ladies team, 10-0 to the state mens team, 5-4 to Innebandy, but won 8-5 against Firebrands.Nevertheless, I am sure, we have a lot to bring back to Borneo, to show you guys how to play floorball.haha.. Oh yah, congrats Nomad, for winning the Wave Challenge. hahaha....Although winning with a mixture of maturity, technical skills and luck, we all deserved it. Yeah!! haha... Nomad Gemilang, Nomad Gemilang, WooHa!!!

Penang Wave Challenge 2009
This year's Penang Wave Challenge consist of 4 games; Floorball, Ultimate Frisbee, Captain Ball & Skittle Ball (only introduced this year). After a long week of Floorball Experience with various clubs & the state teams, Nomad FC is left with 6 players to participate in the Floorball games of Penang Wave Challenge. Perfect!
Upon arrival at Balik Pulau Stadium, it was great to see so many participants in their various teams performing group warm-ups, stretching, briefing, etc. It's hard to imagine the amount of effort the organizers has put into this event. Over 600 participants this year from the previous year's 300 over. Totally Awesome!!
As the Wave Challenge kicks off with an opening prayer, the atmosphere charged up as the games begun!
There are 19 teams in 6 grouping for the Floorball Men's Category alone:-
Group A
A1 Firebrands i2
A2 Saintz FC
A3 Impact
A4 Frontliners Juniors
Group B
B1 Innebandy Warriors
B2 Ztec 42
B3 Torch Bearers
Group C
C1 Frontliners 300
C2 Kaki Perempuan
C3 Ztec 43
Group D
D1 Innebandy Giants
D2 Kaki Ayam
D3 Contact Army
Group E
E1 Firebrands i
E2 Green Rush FC
E3 Nomads
Group F
F1 Firebrands i3
F2 Frontliners Spartans
F3 Salibandy
Our first game defeat to team 'Firebrands i' (0-2) became our rude awakening to the reality of the competitiveness of Wave Challenge. This ain't the friendlies anymore, if we loose another game, we can be sure we'll be packing our bags early. As we struggled to re-organize our playing to suit the 8 minutes game, we went into the 2nd game against team 'Green Rush FC' (1-0) with humility and renewed zealousness; and it pays off this time.
Barely making it through the preliminary round, our 3rd match proves to be the hardest of them all, team 'Ztec 43'. Bitter memory of our landslide defeat to team Ztec earlier in the week warns us of the coming onslaught. Fighting muscle to muscle, bone to bone, teeth to teeth; Nomads made me proud by drawing the game to a 1-1 score. Whether we make it to the semi-finals is now determined in our next game against team 'Saintz FC'.
If we win 1-0, we'll fail to make it into the semi-finals; if we win 2-0, a penalty shoot-out against team 'Ztec 43' will be the judge; if we win 3-0, we'll automatically make it into the semi-finals. With unspoken agreement, the whole team gave full pressure to 'Saintz FC' during the 4th game resulting in a 4-1 score. The joy of making it into the Semi-Finals was such a great relief!
Our 5th game against team 'Kaki Ayam' is termed as the 'Heart Stopping Game'. With a 1-1 draw at the end of the 8th minute, a penalty shoot-out is unavoidable. Each team will take the penalty shot 3 times to determine the winning team. If its still a draw, the penalty shot will go into sudden-death.
With both teams only scoring 1 out of 3 tries, we went into Penalty Shoot-Out Sudden Death. The atmosphere is electrifying! Nomads took the first shot and missed. 'Kaki Ayam' took their first shot and missed. Nomads took our 2nd shot and scored!. 'Kaki Ayam' took their 2nd shot and missed!
We went crazy!! Woooo Hooooo~~!!!! WE'RE IN THE FINALS!!!!
It almost didn't matter anymore who we're playing in the finals, as we walked into the court with smiles across our faces. The thought of a guaranteed medal is already beyond our expectations. None the less, the team we're meeting is Salibandy, a team not from Penang but from KL. Interesting..... Observing the way they played against Kaki Perempuan convinced me they're gonna be a tough team to play.
Knowing this will be our last game in Penang, we ran like there's no tomorrow. With speed to our advantage, we managed to keep the pressure on them throughout most of the game, which resulted in a 2-0 score. What better way to end the Wave Challenge from a 0-2 defeat in the first game? Again Nomad suprises me. ;)

Nomad FC vs Innebandy!Co
The next game in our minds was against Innebandy!Co. A game in Balik Pulau Stadium, where Sabahans refer to as, "the largest rink we ever played in".
Nomad, a team with only 7 players left, facing a team with 4 lines, including two national players and a national goalie, it was a game of David against Goliath.
Nomads in their usual green, against Innebandy!Co in black. Nomad started the game well, when Mark scored from a rebound following a free hit. Innebandy!Co immediatly struck back to equalise. But defensive error proved costly as Adrian Lim picked up a missed pass from halfway to slot in a shot beneath Lin Ken's arms. Goals came in from both teams as the second period ended. Adrian Lim adding another two to make the score 4-3.
Nomads were in ecstacy, something seemingly impossible is on the verge of becoming possible. They had to remain focus. Coach Shawn had been telling the team to be mentally strong.He kept reminding us to not get complacent.
Then, into the third period, things didn't happened as how we hoped for. The defence was seen leaking everywhere. Innebandy!Co just seized on the chance to make the score in favour of them. The final whistle blew, with the score 5-4. We lost dramatically. Coach Shawn was obviously irritated and furious.
We lost the game, but gained truly worthy experiences. We've learned to be a team throughout the game, from the beggining to the end. Nevertheless, Nomads, be proud of the good fight. Nomad Gemilang, Nomad Gemilang, WooHa!!

Nomad FC vs Firebrands
A warm afternoon, to Red Cresent we head, Fresh from the 10-0 defeat to the Penang Men's State Team, we were on fire. Vowed to improve our performance agaiqnst a local club, Firebrands.
Physical wise, we knew we had the advantage, they looked like a bunch of kids around twelve to sixteen years old, except for their commander- Jason Chan, who was twice their age I suppose, 27 years old. But hey, we had to keep our feet on the ground, we have yet to find out or taste what skills do they have in the bag. It was a 4on4 game, due to the size of the hall. Nomad clad in green, while firebrands in their grey jersey.
From the start, they showed how floorball should be played- a team game with lots of passing and running. They were good in their passes and movements. However, we managed to score the first and second goals of the game.
Goals were pouring in from both sides. Firebrans showed a Nomad team with only 7 players that they were no puchovers, they showed great spirit throughout the game. Firebrands do look dangerous at times, but it was their physic that kept them at bay, it was the physical difference that cost them more goals.
Nomad won the game 8-5, CK dragging a shot to the top corner, a brace from Alex, Adrian Crnilla grabbing one and another four from Adrian Lim. Winning or losing the game was neither the case nor the point, it is the experience from the game that the team got together that matters most, it is the experience that matures the team together.
Penalties were followed, after the game, with both sides testing the opposition goalies with their own tricks and skills.
Good win, at least a consolation to bring back to Sabah. Keep it up Nomad. Nomad Gemilang, Nomad Gemilang, WooHa!!!
