INDERA SC BEAT ABDB 2-0

BY FADHIL YUNUS

INDERA SC did their quest for a title defence no harm after showing foundations of steel in a true test of character by beating the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) 2-0 at the Balapan Track and Field last night.

The two teams are brimming with confidence in the league and it was no surprise that the match began on a quick tempo with MS ABDB finishing strongly as the first half drew to a close.

Indera SC overcame the attacking threat by converting a neat finish through Mohd Asri bin Hj Aspar after goalkeeper Muhd Suhandi bin Hj Awang Mahali got a hand to Hamizan Aziz bin Sulaiman’s shot.

Muhd Zulkhairy bin Razali added a second to provide a tall order for the army men.

Mohd Fakrul Zulhamzi bin Yussof was in full stretch to deny MS ABDB a route back into the match and were unbeatable as the match wore on.


Indera SC remained in a fine position entering mid-April as their rivals battled for points. Wijaya FC caused a major upset after defeating MS PDB 2-1 at the Berakas Sports Complex.

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

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

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
