THE National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam’s (NFABD) Disciplinary Committee yesterday fined Kasuka FC and Indera Sports Club and their players after finding them guilty of violent conduct and misconduct in their DST Super League match on March 27 which was abandoned due to heated arguments.

The game at the Berakas Sports Complex was stopped minutes before the break in an incident which started when Kasuka’s Afindi Yati Tuah was challenged by Indera’s Sahrin Momin.

The referee approached the two players but sent off a different Indera player, Hardi Bujang, which saw tension arise between the players and match officials.

Sahrin angrily made his way to the referee but was pulled away and restrained by Kasuka’s Pg Shahruddin Pg Hj Md Tejuddin.

Dissatisfied Indera supporters started voicing their displeasure at the match officials, and the referee decided to call off the match as he was concerned for his and the other match officials’ safety.

NFABD’s Disciplinary Committee, which met yesterday to review the reports of the match coordinator, the referee, acting director of competitions, team managers and video footage of the match - with reference to the NFABD Disciplinary Code and Code of Conduct of NFABD - unanimously agreed to uphold the referee’s decision to cancel the match.

The committee also agreed to fine both Indera SC and Kasuka FC $500 each after being found guilty of misconduct (Article 53).

“Each team will be fined $500 and given seven days to pay,” stated NFABD in a press release yesterday.

“Failure to pay within the given period (will see) each team suspended from playing in two games and points awarded to their opponents,” it added.

Hardi was found guilty of violent conduct and has been given a two-game suspension and a $500 fine while Sahrin was found guilty of misconduct against match officials and has been handed a one-game suspension and a fine of $250, stated the press release.

Both players have been given seven days to pay the fine, failing which Hardi will be given an additional two-game suspension and Sahrin a one-game suspension.

The clubs and players have three days to appeal yesterday’s decisions.

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...
