Curtin Football League has just started yesterday with first match of Galacticos against Eagles. Both team were really strong. The final score is 0 - 0. First half was quite boring because not much attacking from both side but second half was good. Both teams really fight to score a goal and win the game.
Second match was between Trinity and new team called New Venture. Awesome match! New Venture's player are most of the player that wanna play football but doesn't have a team. Therefore, CFC created a new team for these people so that they can play their favourite sport. As a new comer, they really give a nice impact to the spectators that cheered for them yesterday. On the other hand, Trinity, who was the 1st runner up for last semester league, came out with some new faces replacing few of the players that playing for other team. The match ended up with Trinity won by 3 - 1.
There is a bit of misunderstanding in the field which leads to the new vice president, Ralph be given a yellow card because entered the field. CFC ARE REALLY TRYING HARD to avoid any kind of fight that involves racism or provocation but its kinda hard because we live in the environment that multi racial which includes international students. Really hope that every teams really give their best co-operation to CFC so that the same matter which happened last semester will not be repeated.
To: All CFC members
This notice is regarding the incident happen on 2nd of May 2009 in Curtin University Field. Frankly speaking, this match is considered as one of “Match of the Season”, but disappoint to say that it turn up to be a disaster. As the President of Curtin Football Club, I’m really very disappointed such incident happens. Other than that, it also creates disappointment and fear for many parties. We understand that this havoc started is also cause by high anxiety and emotions involve in winning the game. However, this act is unnecessary to happen.
CFC takes this matter seriously and has held meeting and advice from several parties. With the efficient and credibility of CFC committees and with the help of Student Council, the incident is consider “settle” unless any parties bring up any issues regarding the incident. Everything is stated clear black and white in the rules and regulations and to be fair to all parties, CFC are would stick to the rules under Match section 3.6.
For parties who are concerning about their safety inside and outside the field, CFC and Student Council have come out with a solution to solve this issue. We ensure students safety not only in the field but also outside the field. For players or students faces any problems please do contact Student Council President, Ranulph Harold (Nof) at 016-8007040 or contact me at 016-8355549. We encourage students not to involve in fights, if there any problems just contact us and help would be on the way. We firmly say this because have link with the head of Miri Police and they ensure to help us on the matters.
The seriousness of this incident would cause students being sentence to jail and terminated from their respective courses. We really hope students could take note of this and avoid any unnecessary fight.
To conclude my sentence, students please ask yourself this question “Why are you here in Curtin University”? “What do you get after the fight”? “Do you think it is worth it and you need to suffer all the punishment”? Our main aim here is for study and not getting a fight and being terminated. Curtin Football Club organize the league is to enhance students university life. Other than that, this semester we organized Unisex Futsal and 3 on 3 Street Challenge is also for students to try new challenge. Students please understand why we are doing the entire events for all of you. We hope students do respect CFC, respect other parties, and also be responsible, we are no longer children now. Thanks for the support from students; we hope there would be continuous support from students not only for the club and also for the upcoming events. Thanks!

Christopher Clamond Ooi
Curtin Football Club President.
D EAGLES FC 10 – 0 BORNEO FC
Originally supposed to take place on Sunday, the match between Eagles and Borneo were rescheduled to Friday due to academic purposes on Borneo’s side. D Eagles pretty much clinched the first half, and… the second. The score sheet starts off with a goal by Fejiro, followed by Peace, Landy, two from Man of the Match Nadun and five splendid goals by their top scorer, Mmediong. Borneo had a few tries, mainly one particularly close one by O’Neil, whose shot went wide. Eagles are now third in the league with 8 points.
TRINITY FC 1 – 1 GALACTICOS FC
The match begins with a very impressive performance by Marko with a few notable saves in the first 15 minutes. Mseks did however find a way through Marko with a goal in the 22nd minute when Trinity was awarded a free kick. Five minutes into the second half, Steve equalized with a quick goal from the far left and into the net. There was a scramble in the 88th minute in the box belonging to the away team when Chris managed to clear away a very, very close attempt by Trinity. There were another few attempts by Robert, Steve and Sean, but unfortunately all of them did not come to pass. Man of the match was awarded to Celestine from Galacticos for notably fine defending.
Celestine
SABAH FC 7– 1 CRAZY STONE
This was a chance for the reserves from Sabah to shine. In the 28th minute, Ali scores his 7th goal for the semester with a brilliant pass from Jorden. 5 minutes later goalkeeping error, Ali shoot hit the goalpost and goalkeeper’s unintentionally head the ball into his own net. Shortly into the second half, the score line increased with a remarkable header by Godwin, assisted by Jorden once again. Top scorer Sultan then enters the game as a substitute and scores, unsurprisingly. Crazy Stone did however manage to get the ball pass Hasnat when JJ swooped the ball pass at the chance of a goal keeping error. Ali scores again for the second time in the game, resulting in the 5th for Sabah. The 6th goal came from defender Ahmed who brought the ball into the box and blasted it into the net. Godwin seals the scoring sheet with the final goal of the day by tapping in a brilliant chip by Sultan. Man of the match was awarded to Jorden for his constant assisting and tries.
Dinesh, Jorden, Peeche
MACHANZ FC 3 – 2 KELKATU FC
Second in the league Machanz walked away with a victory once again with three outstanding goals by Raj, who was also granted Man of the match. The first half was undeniably Machanz’ as not only did all three goals happen then, but Kelkatu seemed to diminish in their shadow. However, just 6 minutes into the second half, Safiq scores a goal from the left, giving Kelkatu a glimmer of hope. Tompoq took a free kick and he took it well, but Muhammad just manages to block it off. A few minutes later, Salim scores the second goal for Kelkatu, who showed major improvement into the second half. Machanz are now second in the league with only 2 points behind the champions.
Raj and Aeron
Top of the table leaders Sabah FC started the game with a goal by Sultan in the 11th minute and a very close shave of a clearance by Firdaus on the goal line after a very on-target free kick taken by Safiq less than ten minutes later. After a foul for a hand ball by Chendol, Danny had a spectacular free kick but the cross was unfortunately wasted. Hafiz, Kelkatu’s goal keeper should be credited for several of his crucial saves. About 15 minutes into the second half, Mohsen equalized with a grounder shot. And just 3 minutes later, Safiq scored once again, giving them a rare lead over the champions. The lead, however, was short-lived as Sultan scored another two goals, earning himself yet another hat trick in the span of 3 minutes. Hopes of equalizing were shattered when Sultan fires the last goal of the match into the net with a lock right over the keeper’s head 5 minutes before the game ended, and was declared Man of the Match. Again.
GALACTICOS FC 6 – 1 BORNEO FC
Previously conceder of 17 goals to Machanz’ Borneo FC faces Galacticos next. Galacticos had a stronger start with a goal by Aeron in the 8th minute. A few attempts followed after, notably Salim’s that hit the post, Robert’s that went wide and Aeron’s that hit the post again. And also a rare one from O’Neil of Borneo FC’s that also went wide. In the 31st minute, Steve took advantage of Richard’s mistake and blasted a goal pass him and into the net. Marko then decided to join the goal keeper’s slip-ups club and allowed O’Neil to chip the ball pass him, resulting in their second goal scored so far in the league. They had another chance to score but Shannon’s free kick went too far wide after a hand ball foul by Gideon. In the second half, it was apparent that Galacticos needed to brush up on their defending. Their striking stayed on a positive stability with superb attempts by Robert, Salim, newbie Jackie and Aeron. The ball finally found the back of the net twice in 2 minutes thanks to Robert. Aeron then swooped in and scored two final goals for Galacticos and walked away with a hat-trick and the title as Man of the Match.
D EAGLES FC 5 – 0 CRAZY STONE
Eagles FC were obviously the favorites to win the match. However, the replacement of the new keeper, Joel, proved to be jackpot for Crazy Stone as he made a number of brilliant saves that kept the score line empty for half an hour. Eagles then took the lead with a low drive goal by Zee, and another goal by Mmediong five minutes later. It was rather impressive that Crazy Stone only conceded two goals in the first half. Eagles did eventually find their way pass the goal keeper with two more goals from Zee and one more from Mmediong. This is the first time Crazy Stone conceded less than ten goals in one match and has shown massive improvement with the appointment of a new manager, Jowad. Joel was named Man of the Match for his amazing goal keeping.
TRINITY FC 0 – 5 MACHANZ
A lot of people expected more from this match, especially on Trinity’s part. Mazly opened the scoring with a goal in the 26th minute, with slick assisting from Lingesh. In the 38th minute, Raj handed a great pass to Mazly, who then nicely tucked it into the goal, allowing Machanz to lead 2-0 by the end of the first half. About ten minutes into the second, Sean conceded a penalty for a harsh tackle on Lingesh (which resulted in some verbal friction on the field) and Mazly took full advantage of the penalty with a third goal for the team, and for himself that day. Interestingly enough, each winning team of this week has a hat-trick hero each respectively (Sultan, Aeron, Zee, Mazly). Man of the Match, Mazly also assisted in the next goal by Raj; where the ball volleyed into the net in the 69th minute. Just as the match was reaching its end and barely five minutes into the game as a substitute, Juma scored the fifth goal of the match, resulting in a rather unexpected and impressive victory over Trinity FC.
