Picture: BT/Yee Chun Leong DPMM FC have signed left-back Abd Mu’iz Sisa to replace the injured Sairol Hj Sahari for the rest of their Singapore League (S-League) campaign. Sairol had started the first eight matches for the defending champions before rupturing his left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during a training session at the Jerudong Mini Stadium in April. He will miss the rest of the season and Najib Hj Tarif became the first choice player for the position. DPMM FC then went in search of another left-back putting Abd Mu’iz on trial in the middle of last month before he put pen to paper last Wednesday. However, he will have to wait before making his debut as he has yet to take the mandatory S-League fitness test. The 25-year-old, who laced up for Indera SC including winning the DST Super League back-to-back in 2012 and 2013 prior to joining DPMM FC, is excited to ...

The goalkeeper can very well determine the success or failure of a team. That rings true for two-time DST Super League defending champions Indera SC as they are having trouble in between the sticks. Indera haven’t been in their best form and succumbed to back-to-back defeats for the first time in three seasons after losing to the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) and Lun Bawang to end the first round. Md Fakhrul Zulhazmi Yussof, who earned a cap with the national side in a friendly against Singapore in June, and second choice custodian Ak Omar Nur Aqamaddin are out indefinitely. The former - who was between the sticks when Brunei won the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy in 2012 - missed his fourth game in a row due to personal reasons while Ak Omar is out due to an injury after the game against Lun Bawang last Sunday. Indera have had to scramble and find a replacement and did so with 20-year-old Candra Budianto. He made his debut against newly promoted...
