AM GUNNERS FC GAIN SHARE OF LEAD WITH QAF FC

GOALS from Rosmini Kahar either side of half-time ensured AM Gunners FC of a 4-2 win against Indera Sports Club during their DST Group Brunei Premier League I match last night.

An ex-DPMM FC midfielder, Rosmini proved his class for the league's newcomers with a brace in the 34th and 60th minute.

Although the boisterous AM Gunners supporters were not up to their raucous selves at the Berakas Sports Complex last night, the favourites heading into the match did not disappoint the crowd and surged to a 2-0 lead after half an hour.

The AM Gunners are now tied on points with league leaders and defending champions QAF FC on 15 points, though QAF have a game in hand. 

Edi Ruslan Hj Abd Samad opened the scoring in the 17th minute after netting from a set-piece, and it was 2-0 exactly 17 minutes later when Rosmini volleyed home from close range.

Undeterred, Indera mounted a come-back to level the scores heading into the dressing room at the half-time break.

Formerly plying his trade with the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB), Md Khayrun Salleh provided both the goals for Indera, who remain sixth in the 10-team table. He netted his first in the 38th minute after receiving a cross from the left, making it 2-2 a minute before the break after dribbling into the box and firing home from close range.

However, a tap-in by Jasriman Johari at the hour mark regained the lead for AM Gunners, with Rosmini making it 4-2 with a diving header on the hour mark.

"I am obviously happy with the win, but we went down a bit after taking a 2-0 lead," said AM Gunners' head coach Hj Ahmad Hj Husin after the game. "Indera came back well in the first half to make it 2-2 but we managed to start the second half well and we managed to capitalise on our chances."  

Over at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas, Majra FC beat Jerudong 4-1.

After a goalless first half, Adi got on the scoresheet for Majra a minute after the restart and Julremi made it 2-0 after bulging the net in the 62nd minute. Two goals in the space of three minutes by Majra's Faizul in the 71st minute and Azim in the 74th minute put the game beyond reach, though Esmendy would grab a consolation for Jerudong after netting less than a minute later.

Friday's games will see QAF take on AH United at the Berakas Sports Complex, with MS ABDB hoping for a win against Wijaya FC during their match at the Penanjong Camp in Tutong to stay in touch with table-toppers QAF.

At the Brunei Shell Recreational Club in Seria, Brunei Shell Football Team face NBT FC, with both teams eyeing their second win of the season.

All three games are expected to kick-off at 8:15pm.

BAYONG SENDS QAF FC TO SUMMIT

Jason Thomas BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Tuesday, July 14, 2009 VIBAN FRANCIS BAYONG broke Jerudong FC's hearts last night with a goal in injury-time to send QAF FC back to the top of the DSTGroup Brunei Premier League I (BPL I) with a 2-1 win. Though he netted both of the defending champions' goals at the Balapan Track & Field, Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas, the Cameroonian midfielder was quick to deflect any individual praise. A free-kick from Ak Md Kamarul Ariffin Pg Ramlee in the 92nd minute was met by Bayong, who also opened the scoring for QAF FC in the 27th minute when he tapped in a header from Md Aqmal Hakeem Abd Hamid. "I thank the team for playing well ... All the guys did a great job today (Monday)," said Bayong. "It is not only about Viban, we won because the team played well. Did you see that cross? If it wasn't for him (Ak Md Kamarul Ariffin) we would not have won," he added. With the Royal Brunei Armed Forces

by YEE CHUN LEONG INDERA SC notched up their second straight win with a 1-0 victory over MS PDB (Royal Brunei Police Force's Sports Council) in Group C of the DST-National Football League 2011/2012 yesterday at the Balapan Track and Field in Berakas. It was an equally matched first half with neither team being able to control the midfield. Indera did break the deadlock before halftime with Md Aqmal Hakeem Abd Hamid scoring the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute. He received a good through ball to get behind two defenders and placed his shot past the outstretched arm of MS PDB goalkeeper Md Khairol Amin Hj Zainuddin. MS PDB had the upperhand in the aerial battle and enjoyed ball possession early on in the second half. Md Syarafuddin Hamdi Hj Talip had a good chance to equalise in the 55th minute after towering over the Indera defenders but his header was off target. Indera were going with the long ball and hoping to get behind the MS PDB backlin

A dominating performance from Indera SC lacked a cutting edge, with the inaugural DST Super League winners forced to recover from Mohd Helmie Noorazmi’s first half header through Reduan bin Hj Petara’s 65th minute strike. Their lack of conviction proved fatal in the ensuing penalty shoot-out as they missed two penalties as LLRC FT celebrated a hard-fought victory. The team from Kuala Belait took the lead in the 7th minute, when Mohd Helmie Noorazmi headed home from close range. They remained in control for the rest of the half, but a reshuffle
