INDERA SC IN POLE POSITION FOR THE SECOND PLACE


INDERA SC are in pole position of securing second place in the DST Super League needing just a point from their remaining two fixtures to fend off interest from nearest rivals Najip I-Team.
 
 Najip will be guaranteed at least a top three finish after receiving news of Wijaya’s defeat to Indera SC. Najip’s hard fought 2-1 victory over Jerudong FC at the Track & Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex kept their slim hopes of second place alive.
 
 After months of tangling in a serious battle with the dethroned winners while MS ABDB were enjoying a phenomenal season, second place could be sewed if Tabuan Muda stumble to further disappointment, Indera’s upcoming opponent.
 
 Nevertheless, Najip I-Team have an opportunity to conjure a 13th victory in 18 games with three points at the expense of Wijaya FC, who themselves are in danger of relinquishing fourth place if Tabuan return to the fore as a force.
 
 Tabuan Muda have not seen action in the league and the lengthy wait they will no doubt raise their hunger to target a higher finish in their bow in the DST Super League.
 
 The under-23 national team have not featured in the league since October 18 when they beat Wijaya FC 3-2, their direct competitor of whom they will be more than inclined to switch places.
 
 Wijaya will need to collect all three points in an appetising clash against Najip I-Team this Friday and keep the heat on Tabuan Muda in the race for fourth.
 
 Meanwhile, on the other end of the table, Kilanas FC registered only their second win of the season after notching a 2-1 victory over MS PDB at the Tutong Sports Complex.
 
 Kilanas second victory in five matches means that MS PDB cannot finish as high as sixth place, thus guaranteeing a top six result for Jerudong FC.

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...

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 ...

NBT FC BEAT INDERA FC 4-3

Zul Hilmi Rosli BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Wednesday, June 11, 2008 NBT FC was victorious in their match against Indera FC 4-3 in the Brunei Premier League 1 at the JBS Stadium last night. Indera started off their campaign with a 2-1 lead in the first half. The first two goals were slip ups by NBT's defenders as the first goal was an own goal in the 18th minute and the second was a horrendous mistake as a defender's pass was too weak to reach the goalkeeper and was intercepted in the 27th minute. Both goals were claimed by Indera's Jasli Masri. Afindiyati Hj Tuah managed to squeeze in a goal for NBT just before half time in the 40th minute. As the second half started NBT showed no mercy improving both on their teamwork and accurate passing. Their efforts paid off as a through ball to Afindiyati and his well timed run let him chip the ball pass the goalkeeper in the 52nd minute. In the 56th minute, NBT were given a free kick just outside the penalty box, the ball soa...
