INDERA SC OUT TO END DST SUPER LEAGUE CAMPAIGN WITH PERFECT RECORD

INDERA SC are looking to complete their DST Super League campaign with an unbeaten record.

They already wrapped up the title for the second straight year after a 7-1 demolition of QAF FC last night at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.

Indera have yet to lose a game this season with 13 wins and a draw to their name.

They have two matches remaining. They will play Najip FC on Sunday followed by a meeting against the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) in their final League match next Saturday.

Indera head coach Hj Omar Hj Md Jamil insists that the last two games are as crucial as the others that they have contested throughout the whole season.

“We got two more games left eventhough we are the champions. We will respect those two opponents as we want to finish the season unbeaten,” said Hj Omar in an interview with The Brunei Times after the lopsided victory yesterday.

“We expected to do well this season and hopefully we can keep the record going. We are confident that we can do it,” he added.

The head coach also revealed that they only trained four times during the two-month break before the League resumed.

He was satisfied with the performance especially their execution in the opening half.

“We only trained for four days (Friday – Monday) before the League resumed and we just played with whoever was available tonight (Tuesday night),” said Hj Omar.

“We went all out in the first half but in the second we were just playing our normal passing game,” he added.

“It is important to score in the first 45 minutes. If not, it can be a problem for us in the second half,” concluded Hj Omar.

The competition continues today with Najip going up against MS ABDB in the battle for second place at the Balapan Track and Field.

MS ABDB holds the advantage as they are currently on 31 points while Najip find themselves four points back.


Kick off is at 8.15pm.

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...
