MUARA VELLA CLIMB TO TOP CUP WIN FOR 5-STAR MENGLAIT

BY JASON THOMAS

MUARA VELLA FC moved to the top of the DST Group National Veteran Football President Cup 2011 Group B with a 2-0 away win against hosts Brunei Shell Recreation Club (BSRC) yesterday.

The only team with maximum points from both games, Rosli Ahad gave the visitors the lead on the half-hour mark at the BSRC in Seria. 

It was all quiet until the second half, when Md Salleh Md Zain doubled the advantage with a penalty in the 59th minute.

BSRC drop to fourth from second with the loss.

Veteran 20, meanwhile, moved to second after a 2-2 draw with Perkasa FC at the Awang Semaun Secondary School.

Perkasa's Hj Mahadi Hj Dullah made it 1-0 in the 19th minute before Veteran 20's Hj Sharifulrizal Hj Zainal evened things up in the 58th minute.

Mohd Hj Umar regained Perkasa the lead four minutes later, but Ishak Hj Kabon would make it 2-2 in the 68th minute.

A 2-1 win for Indera SC over Jerudong at the Pehin Dato Seri Maharaja Secondary School was enough for the club to drag themselves off the foot of the eight-team table to fifth.

Jerudong's Hj Jalaluddin Hj Ghazali opened the scoring after 10 minutes but goals from Mohd Yusra in the 20th minute and Mohd Yussri Ramli three minutes after the restart would give Indera the three points.

The game between former leader Semaun Vet and Imfera United had to be postponed due to the poor condition of the pitch at the Sg Kebun Sports Complex.

Tomorrow's Group A tie between defending champions Persatuan Sang Jati Dusun (PSJD) and table-toppers TelBru Football Team promises to be the best match of the day.

Having blasted PSI FC 7-0 last Friday, TelBru head into the game at BSRC full of confidence.

PSJD, meanwhile, will be looking to get into the win column after starting their campaign with a 0-0 draw to Temburong last Sunday.

Second in the table, Kota Ranger take on Temburong at the Sg Kebun Sports Complex tomorrow with both teams no doubt hoping that the pitch's condition will hold out for 90 minutes.

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 ...

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 ...

Picture: BT file Two-time DST Super League champions Indera Sports Club (SC) have been successfully granted a replay against Tabuan Muda (the national Under-23 team). The match last month was called off after 61 minutes when Indera captain Shahrin Hj Momin was sent off for a second yellow card, leaving the team with just eight players. The referee stopped the game and told both teams the match could not continue if one side has only eight players in the team – which is against FIFA’s ‘Laws of the Game 2015/2016’. In the rule book, Law 3 states that “A match is played by two teams, each consisting of not more than eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. A match may not start if either team consists of fewer than seven players.” National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) have confirmed in a press yesterday that the match will now be played tomorrow at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hass...
