THE MFFC BOWL - The Bowl of Champions

KL THU vs The Subang Tridents

by MR. Anonymous

The stage is set. In three days the champion of the nation will be crowned. Despite a roller-coaster of a season, KL's They Hate Us (THU) has once again made it to the big dance. Waiting to take THU's coveted title away from them are the Subang Tridents. Unlike previous years, the two teams in the finals have felt the bitter sting of defeat.

THU goes into the finals as heavy favorites as the return of QB #7 Shahir Khalid for the playoffs and the new addition of Emperor's RB Adi and DE Azwar Zaim led to their victory over the #1 seed, The Sunway Storm. In fact the game was so close that a safety in the dying minutes was the only play that separated the two teams. The champions have once again made themselves the team to beat in the finals.

In the regular season, Shahir's absence caused them to drop a game against the Rebellious Dawgs, leaving their playoff spot open till the very end of the season. Now with everything falling into place at the right time, THU will once again take the field to defend their title.

The Tridents have never made it to the finals in previous years. They made the playoffs in the first season but failed to do so last year. This year however, with the tutelage of former Dawgs RB Rafiq Hidayat, the Tridents have went from strength to strength. In their playoff game against the Rebellious Dawgs, the Tridents looked unstoppable on both sides of the ball, scoring 33 unanswered points.

The Tridents defense has been stellar for most of the season, coming up with the most interceptions as well as points scored on defense. On offense, the Tridents have an explosive passing game but they can also gash teams for big yards with their potent running game.

So as these two teams take center stage, it would mark the third meeting between these two teams this year and it probably promises to be the best one yet.

A Big Thank You

To all our supporters and fans,

We, the members of the Subang Tridents Flag Football Team, would like to express our utmost gratitude for all your support over the entire regular season and playoffs as we wouldn't be where we are if not for the support you have given us. We hope that you would continue to support us as we face the defending champions THU in the MFFL Championship Finals and even in the future.

All of you are as much part of this team as those who take the field every Sunday for all of you are indeed, TRIDENTS!

From,
Your Subang Tridents

MFFL Playoffs (Semifinals) 2011

MFFL Playoffs 2011

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the arena of champions. Malaysia’s top four teams from the regular season are set to do battle as they vie for the championship and all the glory that comes with it.

Playoff bracket 1
#2 Subang Tridents (33) - #3 Rebellious Dawgs (0)

Tridents enter the playoffs once more matching their best result and trying to go one up on the Rebellious Dawgs. The Rebellious Dawgs came into the game as one of the best defensive teams and with QB #17 Shafiq “Super Stallion” Iqmal managing the offense with superb precision and the addition of the Phytons return specialist, The Dawgs look to make a run deep into the playoffs.

However, it was the Tridents that set the tempo from the kick off whistle. With WR/K #28 Hadry “Tricky Canon” Hyzan kick going for touchback, the Tridents defense played with deadly purpose, with DE’s #3 Logan “Wolverine” Soon and #69 Ian “SupaFreak” Sjahrial sent #17 Shafiq Iqmal into fits causing the Dawgs into some early mistakes, and after a failed fourth down attempt, the Tridents offense took the field with great field position.

Opening up with an 8 yard run by RB #5 Seth Ng, The Tridents offense would then find the endzone in just their second play, thanks to a TD run by WR #89 Andrew “Mr. Everything” Yong.

The Tridents special teams unit would then pin the Dawgs inside their five as the Tridents defense took the field. The Tridents defense would then come up big as LB #12 Leon “The Saint” Tham returned his 3 interception of the season for a TD.

The Tridents would then force the Dawgs offense to go 4 and out on their next drive. Tridents QB #10 Louie “The King” Peter would then find WR #89 Andrew, who makes a spectacular one-handed grab over CB #4 Andy, taking a 3 TD lead heading into the half.

The second half saw QB #10 Louie Peter march his offense down field, courtesy of TE #44 Anand Singam and RB #8 Alvin “The Boy Wonder” Ong. However, QB #10 Louie would throw his first interception of the season, with Dawgs FS #80 Muhammad “Chum” Zairulnizam making the interception.

The Dawgs offense would start the second half trying to establish their passing game with QB #17 Shafiq Iqmal trying to go to his top receiver WR #4 Andy. Tridents captain, CB #24 Carmen “The Island” Peter, would deny this from happening, locking down WR #4 Andy for no receptions in the entire game. Tridents DE 3# Logan Soon would make his mark on the score line, adding two points off a safety.

QB #10 Louie Peter would then connect on a 20-yard TD pass to WR #20 Heidy “Braveheart” Yusoff, who bags his 7th TD reception of the season. On the Tridents next offensive drive, back up QB #8, Alvin Ong sealed the deal with another TD to WR #28 Hadry Hyzan.

MFFL first Game ball of the Playoffs: Goes to the Tridents Offensive Line, who is playing their best football yet, despite having their usual center in a neck brace. The Tridents O-line unit did not give up a single sack against the Dawgs D-line.
