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.

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...
