Curtin Football Club

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.

8- First match of the sem, Comunity Shield. Champion and 2nd place of the league last semester will play for this one-off Cup event. Date 9 August 2009.

CFC Committee Semester 2-2009

There has been a huge restructural in our club organisation as a new start of this semester.
First and foremost, the previous President, the energetic Chris had decided to step down from the post to focus on his study more after experiencing the hectic-but-succesful-semester last term. However, for the love of the club he agreed to stay close by being around as an ordinary committee member.

That has caused the most important place in this club empty, and there is a need for immediate replacement in order for everyone related to football in this university happy.
As it has been a tradition in this club for years down the road, the President itself will decide who(or how) will be his successor. As a relevant guy as he has ever been, Chris with all concerned how important to make sure the next president has what it takes to run the club properly, or at least organized the compulsory league satisfyingly. Therefore, 2 names came up as the candidate of the very important role, while one prefer not to have, the other one is willing to take the responsibility and challenge to drive this club forward after a huge success during Chris's time.

The new President officially started his role on wednesday evening by conducting the first meeting yesterday. Mohd Syamim Mohd Shukor is an unknown guy to us, but Sir Dude (or actually Sedut) is a person that known to most people in Curtin, especially in football comunity. We all wish all the best for him to carry on his duty for this club.

Next position is of course the Vice President. Ahmad Syuaib or known as PeeChe to everyone remained at that position. However, the reconstruction of the club committee also means that Ralph has joined PeeChe as Vice President. It is a smart decision made by the former President as he assessed all the difficulties in running this club, and 2 vice presidents might reduced the pressure of being at the top.

Abby Chu continues to serve the club as secretary, and is believed to be joined by a vice this time around.
Treasurer spot which was empty as Joanna departed as she graduated, is filled by Rahilah or Hill to us, promoted from the ordinary committe member position last term.
The advisors remain like last semester.

There they are, the top people whom we rely on this semester to pilot the destination of our club. The other positions will be introduced from further meeting, believed to be appointed from teams that will particiapate in our league - the 14th season!

Advisor : Mr. Azhar
Student advisor : Tompoq
President : Sedut
Vice President : PeeChe and Ralph
Treasurer : Hill
Secretary : Abby

Falconnettes Champs the Unisex Futsal

The tournament was held as part of the "Football Week" program. Unisex futsal was a tournament opened for guys AND girls in Curtin.
A team will consists of 4 guys, and 4 girls and at least 3 girls must be in the pitch at one time. There are many rules adjusted to contain the fairness as well the fun factor of the games. Examples are like, only girls can take free kick and kick in, girls are well protected as guys are not allowed to blast the ball (a gentleman game), and the most exciting is that a goal scored by a girl is counted as 2 goals.

The tournament was successfully attracted 10 teams, and held in 2 days (6th and 7th May) from 7pm to around 930pm. It was done in double-knockout system, which every team will play at least 2 times.
As we are all aware, cup tournament that involve single knock-out can be very cruel to certain teams if let say 2 strongest in the tournament drawn to play each other in first round. This tournament has proved this to be right and the cruelty of knock-out game was successfully lifted.
CiTY Club was beaten by Falconnettes in the first round, but they won all the games after that to claim their spot in final - to again play Falconnettes. The final ended 5-2 on Falconnettes side, to be crowned as the champion of this first ever tournament.

The tournament was very exciting, as 3 matches ended in penalty shot-out. Most attracting could be from first round, or the 3-4 play off.
In first round, Council Angels and Swimmers match ended with a draw, end the penalty was taken by all 8 players to decide the winner - from Swimming CLub. While, the 3/4 placing ended 2-2, goals from Taha(Rovers) in 9th minute, cancelled out by Nan's(BPP) at 10th, and the penalty won by Basket Poom Poom.
The first half of the final was a breath-taking one, after Ali(Falconnettes) scored, Bobby scored to give advantage to CiTY Club by 2-1. However, Falconnettes captain Abby scored to regain the lead on Falconnettes' side. Abby scored another to seal the win for them.

There are 3 individual awards allocated. Top Scorer went to Bobby for her 10 goals in the tournament. MVP Ladies category also belongs to Bobby, and Nan from Basket Poom Poom announced Guys MVP.

Attention to All Curtin Football Club Members

To: All CFC members

This notice is regarding the incident happen on 2^nd 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!

Regards,

Christopher Clamond Ooi

Curtin Football Club President.

Machanz Went To The Top

match report prepared by Rahilah

1st match
Machanz vs Galacticos.

A really interesting match to watch. Galacticos started the game fiercely through nice try by Salim which went a bit over the post during 3rd minute of the match. The first 10 minutes of the match was controlled by Galacticos. But, Raj from Machanz was the one who shot the first score at 11 minutes of the game. He almost scored another goal at 15 minutes of the match but Marko saved the day. Another 15 minutes goes by was fully utilised by Steve, Salim and Jojo from Galacticos to lauch few attacks towards Machanz side. Mahmud from Machanz tried at 29 minutes and Lingesh from Machanz almost scored a goal when Marko missed to save the ball but the Galacticos Man of the Match last week, Celestine come to the rescue. First half ended with 1-0.

Second half was even better. Machanz started with a nice half volley by Mahmud but saved by Marko at 45 minutes of the game. Machanz was dominating the second half by scoring another two goals, one from Lingesh at 52 minutes and one from Mahmud when he chipped the ball over Marko at 56 minutes. Non stop attacking came from both of the teams for 15 minutes. The nice play came from Raj when he ran with the ball and passed it to Juma for a try but hit the side post. Lingesh close of the match with another goal at 77 minutes. He was the man of the match.

2nd match
Sabah v D Eagles

Started with a nice try from Sultan at 3 minutes of the match. But the match does not have a nice end to it due to uncontrollable emotion between both teams, which leads to the riot in and off the field.

added by admin
The referee called the game off after 19 minutes, with yet no goals scored. So, it was 0-0 for them. The future of both teams are to be observed by the CFC committee, and will be referred to the rules signed by all the managers earlier in the season. Any updates will be communicated further.

So the result is:
Machanz 4 - 0 Galacticos
Sabah FC 0 - 0 D Eagles

Meeting Updates 29 April

Few important issues raised towards the end of this semester. It has been a great semester so far anyway. Just to keep everyone updated here.

1 - League re-schedule.
This main event in CFC has come to the time where academic constraint has taken its place to challenge the members and committee of CFC to arrange things that can make everybody satisfied.
a) Borneo FC is having their study trip, so their match has to be postponed (originally scheduled on sunday 3rd May).
b) Kelkatu FC's players will majoritily involved in another field trip, which made their match postponed (originally scheduled 2May saturday).
The result from this problems has led to a decision to re-arrange matches for week 5 to be as below.

2 - Punctuality
Another issue has raised on previous match when teams who should start the game at 3pm came after 3pm. Therefore, the match at 5pm has became the victim when that game time was reduced due to darkness. Therefore, a more strict action will be taken after this.
a) When a team come late more than 15minutes (after 5:15 as example), the opponent will be given a walkover win by 3-0.
b) If both team come late, they will play at reduced time, so that the 2nd game(the 5pm game) will not be affected by the first game.

3 - Ball
Let say player A from team A kicked a ball to the bushes. Somebody from team A has to go take the ball, or else team A must replace with a new ball. It will be manager's responsiblity in exact, but please be relevant because manager should get co-operation from his players. Failing to settle with this order, team A might be penalised (such as point deduction, or fee in term of money).

4 - Cleanliness
Curtin management has made it clear to CFC that we might be stopped from using the field if we do not take care of the field's condition (just keep it CLEAN from rubbish, that all!!!). So, the teams behaviour will be observed. Again, it is manager's responsibility to remind the players to throw rubbish (such as cans, bottles) into the BIG DUSTBIN provided at the field. Failure to obey this will also results in penalty to the team.

5 - Discipline
Since that we have reached the peak of the league, we are ready for some more serious actions in the field, which might lead to tense situation. So, we will observed the game properly.
a) Referee's decision is final. This means, cards (yellow and red) cannot be lifted. There were so many cases when team(or palyer) made appeal to the card when they got suspended, but in CFC history none of the appeal succeed. It is clear that referee has granted full power to award the card for dubious as well as obvious misbehaviour in the field. Misbehaviour is included of swearing to the referee.
b) In case of players misbehaved but the referee did not see, committees view as witness have the power to raise the behaviour in a meeting, and a player might be penalised (such as match ban, or league ban) when the committee agrees so. Therefore, we hope everybody will play with professional behaviour.

6 - League
a) CFC has decided on awards to be given. There are teams award, as well as individual.
Team award : 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Individual : Best GK, best defender, best midfielder, best striker, Golden Boot, MVP, Best manager, and another one.
b) There will be "SPORTS NIGHT" organised by ALL sports-based clubs in Curtin (Volleyball, basketball, rugby, badminton etc). So, prize giving ceremony for the league will be done during the event. Details of the event:
30 May, Imperial Hotel Palm Terrace, 3pm to 11pm. RM30.

7 - Debts
CFC will take action for any teams that do not pay their debt by next wednesday (6 May 2009). Debts here included the individual registration fee (RM5 per person only maaa). Teams which do not settle this debt won't be allowed to play the next game.

Meeting was held 29 May, 4pm. Every manager was there, and informed. If you don't get/hear this news from them, please start to think of changing to new manager OK!! Peace!! No war!!

WEEK 4 - Review

Prepared by Abby (for Bulletin)

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 22^nd 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 88^th 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.

SABAH FC 7– 1 CRAZY STONE

This was a chance for the reserves from Sabah to shine. In the 28^th minute, Ali scores his 7^th 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 5^th for Sabah. The 6^th 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.

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.

SABAH FC 4 – 2 KELKATU FC

Top of the table leaders Sabah FC started the game with a goal by Sultan in the 11^th 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 8^th 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 31^st 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 26^th minute, with slick assisting from Lingesh. In the 38^th 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 69^th 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.
