Picture: BT/ Saifulizam INDERA FC pipped Wijaya FC 1-0 last night to steal sixth in the DSTGroup Brunei Premier League I (BPL I) table in a lively mid-table clash. Though they were left chasing the ball for most of the 90 minutes at the Berakas Sports Complex, Indera were still able to overcome Wijaya and now enjoy a two-point lead over them in the standings. Indera have collected 12 points from 11 games, leaving Wijaya seventh in the 10-team table with 10 points. Neither goalkeeper was really threatened until the 15th minute when Muhd Nashruddin Salamat did well to save a looping header from Indera's Md Khayrun Salleh. Indera were handed a blow minutes before that when experienced defender Sharin Zaini limped off the field to be...

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Sunday, November 1, 2009 A BRACE from Md Azri Jebri helped Liang Lumut Recreational Club (LLRC) to a 3-2 win over Indera FC in last night's DST Group League Cup game. Md Azri levelled the scores six minutes after Md Khayrun Salleh had netted in the third minute to give Indera the lead in their second round match at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah Sports Complex in Berakas. Md Khayrun formerly playing for the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) regained Indera the lead a minute after Md Azri equalised. But not to be denied, Md Azri netted again for LLRC in the 33rd minute to set the scores at 2-2 going into the locker-room at half-time. A goal from Hj Annuar Hj Seidil two minutes after the restart was enough for the Belait-based team to win the match. Meanwhile, at the Berakas Sports Complex, BPL I surprise package AM Gunners beat Menglait FC 2-0 in their second round encounter. Md Nazlee PD Hj Jaafar opened the scoring three m...

Yee Chun Leong BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Wednesday, October 21, 2009 MS ABDB (the Royal Brunei Armed Forces' Sports Council) proved too much to handle for the AM Gunners as they overwhelmed the DSTGroup Brunei Premier League (BPL) I newcomers with a 2-0 scoreline at the Penanjong Camp in Tutong. The result means that MS ABDB now leapfrog the AM Gunners into second place on 23 points just two points adrift of table toppers and defending champions, QAF FC, who are on 25 points. AM Gunners are third with 21 points. AM Gunners started out on the wrong foot as MS ABDB got their first goal through Md Isa Hj Bahar after only 15 minutes from a penalty kick. They had difficulty settling as the army men kept attacking their goal. Despite this MS ABDB had to wait until the 85th minute to finally put the match to bed and they did it with some help from the AM Gunners' backline. The second goal came when AM Gunners' defenders left Md Roy Suhardi Hanifah unmarked on the left. The MS ABDB stri...

Written by Sahrol Daud  Tuesday, 13 October 2009 Bandar Seri Begawan - QAF FC cruised to a 3-1 victory against Indera FC in the DST Group Brunei Premier League I held at the Berakas Sporttomplex last night. In another match, AM Gunners FC thrashed Brunei Shell FT 4-0 at the Track and Field Sports Complex. QAF FC coached by former Brunei national player Mohamad Ali Hj Mustafa was a goal down as early as the 10th minute. Indera FC's Md Zulfadli Pg Hj Tajudin produced a spectacular low-drive shot to beat QAF FC goalie, Mohd Sahan Mumtazali. The match last night, considered being a balanced 50-50 war, as no import players - Cameroonian QAF FC goal-scoring machine Vivan Francis Bayong and Japanese import Ito Dan - were listed in the QAF FC line-up. A few minutes after the goal, QAF FC's Adie Arsham Muhd Salleh brilliantly beat Indera's goalkeeper Ak Omar Nur Aqammaddin Pg Hj Sallehuddin in a one-and-one situation but linesman denied QAF FC the equaliser due to Adie being po...

GOALS from Rosmini Kahar either side of half-time ensured AM Gunners FC of a 4-2 win against Indera Sports Club during their DST Group Brunei Premier League I match last night. An ex-DPMM FC midfielder, Rosmini proved his class for the league's newcomers with a brace in the 34th and 60th minute. Although the boisterous AM Gunners supporters were not up to their raucous selves at the Berakas Sports Complex last night, the favourites heading into the match did not disappoint the crowd and surged to a 2-0 lead after half an hour. The AM Gunners are now tied on points with league leaders and defending champions QAF FC on 15 points, though QAF have a game in hand.  Edi Ruslan Hj Abd Samad opened the scoring in the 17th minute after netting from a set-piece, and it was 2-0 exactly 17 minutes later when Rosmini volleyed home from close range. Undeterred, Indera mounted a come-back to level the scores heading into the dressing room at the half-time break. Formerly plying his trade with ...

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 ...
