DRM v Kg Lumut Liang FC Match Summary

We hadn't played a night game in a while, and were we in for a hard night yesterday under the BSRC floodlights. We were lucky to leave with a respectable score-line as it easily could've been a moonlight massacre.

The DRM team started of brightly however and infact we started off with the lead after about 20 minutes when Johnny was fouled 30 yards from goal. Amir D who has scored on both games since returning for a long paternity lay-off duly dispatched that free kick into the bottom left corner.

DRM enjoyed the lead for for awhile as it seemed that Adi Tabang (who was even subject to a birthday song whilst playing!) and Rahimin were able to hold at bay the quick and pacy LL FC wingers and attack.

The visitors eventually managed to drag themselves back into game towards the end of the half after substitute left back Ivan & Fakhrul were involved in what seemed to the referee to be a tussle with the LL FC striker. Much to the protests of the DRM team, the referee awarded the penalty and the game was back at all square. They scored an eventual second goal before half time and we went into the break down by one goal.

The second half was a slightly different affair as LL FC's passing game really took most of us out of the game. They were dominant on ball possession and we ended up having to chase hard most of the time. Their keeper even had the cheek to constantly launch his own attacks and even ended up scoring after beating the offside trap!!! Our only goal of the second half came when Amir S managed to jink his way past the left back and his finish reminded me of the Torres goal in the Liverpool - Chelsea game last weekend!

DRM came out tops in last night's Friendly Futsal Tournament organised by Apok & gang from IM. It was a four team friendly, but featured quality opponents with the likes of SEN & IM.

The DRM team played well throughout, only conceding 2 goals in the first two matches. We unexpectedly beat the SEN team 4 - 1 in the 1st game and that really sent our confidence levels soaring through the roof with that first win under the belt. The second match against ISM was a little less tough and Faizan & Ari coming on in the second half added several to the game.

It was really the last game against IM that would determine the outcome of the tournament. Because of the way the other games had gone, we were already virtually assured of top spot, unless IM beat us by 6 goals or more. The boys played well against the more experienced IM team, the last time we played we lost 1-0. We kept the score to a very respectable 4 - 3 and very nearly snatched a draw in the last minute.

DRM Futsal Invitational Results

Congratulations to Team West for winning last night's DRM Futsal Invitational!

Thank you also to Hailmey & Apok for putting together an excitement packed night and we will definitely look forward to another night like this before Puasa.

Just wanted to also mention that all 3 DRM teams showed excellent team spirit and sportsmanship. We ran hard and we played fair. All the 3 invitational teams had only good things to say at the end about DRM football and we should be proud of that. Hope everyone had fun.

p/s man... Gen Y should've won! heheh

DRM v PPA Match Summary

We struggled to field a proper first 11 for the second straight game and the difference between the first half rojak team that we field, and the second half DRM proper is telling. We've conceded 5 1st half goals in 2 games, whilst we've only conceded 2 in 2 games in the last half. This really needs to be worked on, and it will require all of DRM to stand up and to commit to matches, AND turn up on time. I will put my hands up and admit to be guilty as charged for the PPA game, but i will also commit to coming on time for games in the future. Lets see you stand up and make the same!

Rant over! :p

The standard of the games in this weather hasn't been all that either, the BSRC pitch is turning into a buffalo pit very quickly and i don't know whether that's good or bad for us just yet. It has made for some very comical plays and the first half was no exception. We weren't able to take advantage of the fact that we defended the crappy end of the pitch in the 1st half, and PPA somehow were able to exploit our defending through all the mud and slop. They did have fast young strikers who were ball hungry however, and i suppose that would make a huge difference! The only goal of the 1st half came when G Khai latched onto a long ball from a Fadil clearance in defence and he rounded the keeper to lift the glum from our game somewhat.

We were a much more different team in the second half, fielding a proper DRM 11 and with the benefit of a change of legs, with the 3 students coming on in place of Rahim, Julberg and Fadil. It also helped that Hailmey now had gloves to properly carry out his goal-keeping duties, even if it meant having to wear two left-hand gloves (?!?). We looked alot more composed on the ball, and having the young ones willing to run in the game changed the dynamics somewhat, as we were able to hold on to possession alot more readily with passing options available around. The second half goal was a result of a goal mouth scramble, when Rijal's run into the box was met by G Khai whose first attempt was blocked by an onrushing centre-back, deflecting the ball to Zainal's feet and he was clinical with his finish from just outside the box. Rijal and G Khai had other opportunities to eat further into PPA's lead but were denied only by some determined goal keeping from between the PPA sticks. That didn't mean that we didn't have any scares at the back however, with Matiin's goal line sliding save preventing DRM for any further blushes late in the game, when PPA threw in a final assault on the scoreline. They eventually managed to score direct from a free-kick in the last minute of the game, the ball showing more curves than you'd find on both J-Lo and Beyonce! It was a more respectable second half, and it gives us the hope that if we are able to field a proper team, maybe next game the results will go our way. Only one way to find out really....
