Trinity in Risk of Losing Their Win

On saturday, seeded Trinity played the new-comer New Venture in the 2nd match.
The match ended on Trinity side 3-1.
However, club committees had dissatisfaction with Trinity's approach to that match in term of team discipline. The committee on duty had recorded some of the team's miscooperation and they are listed below:
1- Player list. Trinity submitted the player list without substitution players listed in it.
2- Sub form. As the standard of the league since last season, substitution to be made must go through committee on duty at the grand stand. However, Trinity made few changes at half-time without reporting to the organiser. This is actually a very serious misconduct as it troubled the committee to keep track on the players, cards, and goalscorers.
3- Team location. Trinity players were found gathered at the other side of the field, while all other teams as well as suppoprters were at the grand stand. Teams MUST be at the grand stand when the match is going on, and supporters are advised to be there too.
4- Long socks and shin pad. Some of Trinity players were recorded using short socks, and some without shin pad. There were some arguement about this when we tried to inform them about this issue after the match. Trinity claimed New Venture didnot use longsocks and shin pad too, but as recorded, only ONE New Venture player did this, compare to SOME from their side.

Trinity however on that day agreed to change their attitude to the game in future, and a verbal agreement made that if they did not improve in the next game in term of those factors, they'll get point deduction.
From the weekly meeting, the club committees had come to some decision about this matter. The verbal agreement is used, with 2 points deduction will be imposed if Trinity failed to fulfill their promises. The deduction will not effect the game's scoreline - Trinity won 3-1.
This incident should be an example to other teams also. Please follow all the rules, and cooperate. Thank you.

Ralph Suspended 1 Match for Misconduct

The weekly meeting this week came across few issues about our league and one of it involved a Galacticos player, Ralph or known more as Rabbit.
In the event of match against Eagles, there was a heated situation in Eagles' penalty box which led to some arguement, and Ralph was found walking into the field, while he is still a bench player. Please note that no player should go into the field if you are not allowed by the referee (for sub or medic-treatment-help reason)
His action was observed and recorded by the committee. The referee on duty had given him a yellow card for that.
However, club committees had found that his behaviour is considered a provokation that might lead to a more serious situation if it not stopped. Therefore, the committee agreed to apply 1 match suspension for this reason. Ralph will also be under probation, and reminded not to repeat such action.
As exercised in normal condition, the decision made by board can be appealed by the party involved, but needs to follow the procedure. It includes the formal appeal letter, and a fee of RM100. After that, the appeal will be discussed in a meeting. Without proper letter, and without the fee, the appeal won't be entertained. The board decision after that is final.
This decision is now also set a new standard that this kind of behaviour can lead to match suspension even though you are not involved in any fight. We are really hoping that everybody will take note on this, and behave properly to the league rules.

League Fee Settlement

During the weekly board meeting, another critical issue raised was the failure of some of the competing teams in the league to pay league fee on time. The teams who have not paid will not be announced here, but they are all aware of it themselves.
The board has decided that ALL teams must made the payment clear by this friday, 21st August by 5pm. Failure to do this will cause them to be punished in term of point deduction. 2 points will be deducted. All managers had been texted by our secretary about this, and immediate action is expected.
To keep everyone get the situation more clear, lets understand where the fee is spent. Fees will cover the referees, and some of the equipment. So far in this club history, no profit were ever made from league fee as it all goes back to the league itself. And, league has started while teams have not made the payment. This will trouble the cashflow in the club itself to run the league.
We are seeking teams cooperation on this matter, and we are not intending to deduct anybody's point because they are hard-earned points from 80minutes of battle in the field. So guys, please appreciate your sweats, and make sure your team pay the fee by this friday before it is too late. This league is now running on more strict approach, to make it fair to everybody, as much as how humans can do with it. Thank you.

CFC League - Saturday, 15 August 2009

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.

CTR Community Cup: Machanz 2 - Trinity 1

Raj brought glory to Machanz, as the curtain of Curtin's football season was raised this evening. The game began slow in the first half which ended goalles.
However, the tempo increased in the 2nd half where attacks went end to end that forced the goalkeeper to make few excellent saves, notably from Trinity's goalkeeper, Hillary - new player.
Terry break the deadlock with a brilliant lob from 20yards outside the penalty box.
However, Raj proved why he is last season's top goalscorer when he scored equaliser. He took advantage of Hillary's miss-punched ball which bounced on few player before he tapped it in. Again Raj scored another after that to seal the win for Machanz.

The sponsor of the event, CTR owner Uncle Johan witnessed the match accompanied by club advisor Mr. Azhar. Uncle Johan later presented the medals and cup to the players.

Man of the Match award was given to the deserved hero Raj, while Hillary came close behind just because of his mistake that allowed the equalizing goal.
