IT was the story of the season for the two contrasting teams for completely various reasons but the main significant detail is Indera SC confirming their league title that they never looked like relinquishing at any juncture of the DST Super League 2014 season.

Not with a performance marvelled in awe against a wasteful QAF FC team or the countless of attacks that they demonstrated to perfection en-route to the title that always going to be theirs for the taking. For QAF it is back to the drawing board and they will probably be relieved that their season has ended.

Indera SC are crowned champions of the DST Super League once again with two games to spare in the season after mauling QAF FC 7-1 last night.

With a team not in shortage of excellent players including the likes of Brunei Darussalam’s HBT star Muhd Nur Ikwan Othman, Hamizan Aziz bin Sulaiman stole the spotlight with a hat- trick.

His finish for the third goal was not bad too, turning and twisting past a defender before comfortably sliding home an angled finish past the QAF FC’s keeper.

Muhd Nur Ikwan, Abd Khair bin Hj Basri, Mohd Khayrun bin Salleh and Reduan bin Hj Petara each made it to the score-sheet.

Muhd Nur Ikwan and Md Zulkhairy combined well and as the latter got the necessary flick and keeping the goalkeeper on his toes, a QAF FC defender was quick to recover from questionable defending.

Nur Ikwan sent a cross to the box and QAF FC’s goalkeeper Junaidi managed to keep out Md Zulkhairy with an unorthodox save.

It might not matter then as the referee failed to spot an apparent touch by the goalkeeper outside his boundaries.

Hamizan Aziz was pinned down to the ground giving the referee no choice but to award a yellow card as Junaidi dived smartly to catch captain Sahrin’s set-piece attempt.

When called into a decision, the referee did not shy away from his pockets and handing out a caution to Reduan bin Hj Petara.

Md Khairul Anwar curled a fine effort but did not quite find the top corner as Junaidi raised his arms to collect the ball.

Nur Ikwan should have scored or tested the keeper when put through Reduan while on the other end QAF failed to make most of their opportunity count.

Mardi’s delicate ball into the far post enabled a team- mate to get a good connection but Mohd Fakrul Zulhamzi got a vital touch before rattling the crossbar and back to play.

Md Khairul Anwar’s set- piece which hit the crossbar was the closest opportunity before Hamizan completed his hat- trick.


QAF FC hit wide after quelling threat for a possible counter and never looked to extend their goal tally since Hardi Bujang’s goal in the 15th minute.

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

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.

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
