ISC OUTPOWER ARBISYAM 'B' TO LIFT GOLDEN JUBILEE CUP


ISC earned the rare accomplishment of being named Golden Jubilee Brunei Futsal Cup 2017 winners after securing a comfortable 4-1 win over Arbisyam ‘B’ in the final at the Multi-Purpose Hall of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex last night.

ISC, or better known as Indera Sports Club, took a commanding 3-1 lead in the opening 20 minutes and rarely look threatened after the break with a solitary strike not a fairer description of their dominance.

ISC could have breached the net more if it wasn’t for the outstanding displays of the Arbisyam’s shot-stopper who was undoubtedly the busier of the two goalkeepers.

Goals from Md Shafie, Md Khairil Shahme and Hamizan Aziz gave them a nice two-goal cushion with Muhd Ali Qadhrry giving Arbisyam a glimmer of hope.

However, ISC, whose majority of the players specialises in football, were technically superior with their intricate passing leaving the likes of lanky Md Nasruddin and Mohd Hamiduddin focussed with their defensive duties.

Md Shafie may have thought he had the last touch to give his side a 4-1 lead but the fourth goal was credited as an own goal from Muhd Ali Qadhrry.

With the Golden Jubilee Brunei Futsal Cup 2017 a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, team manager Mohd Yussaini Haji Said made it their aspiration to win the title despite their rare involvement in futsal competitions.

“We have aspirations and desire to win the Golden Jubilee Cup because it is being held, probably, once in our whole lives,” said Mohd Yussaini after the prize presentation ceremony.

“We grab the opportunity and at the same time we are not going to change the players.”

The manager also outlined three important aspects which every ISC player should take heed in namely cooperation among players, keeping a good spirit and the discipline of the players.

“It is the three things that we keep from the start right to the end of the competition,” he further added.

Mohd Yussaini shared that it is difficult to compete in futsal competitions due to other commitments but they devoted time to chase for the title adding that it was a “big opportunity”.

When it comes to preparations, the manager also indicated since their training is not linked with futsal, football-related training was the main approach of preparing them for the tournament.

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...
