Week 3 Report

Headhunters FC 6 - 0 Pappadam FC

Headhunters, fresh from a loss with Eagles, came back this week with the aim to win. Just 5 minutes into the game, Fabian lets Headhunters take the lead with a goal. 20 minutes later, Celestine adds to the score sheet, all the way from his defending position. Seemingly helpless, Pappadam concedes their third goal 3 minutes later, with a goal by Rusy from the far right. Rusy then had another chance to score again after a brilliant pass by Fabian, but the shot went wide. Pappadam's Sandara then had a chance to get a goal 2 minutes into the second half, but the show went wide pass the net. Kevin then made a notable strike and shot, but it was blocked by the HH defenders. However, it was Headhunters who scored again, in the form of Fabian, whose dribbling and long shot hit the back of the net. 3 minutes later, a free kick outside the box was given to HH, and it was taken well by Avinash whose shot was deflected by the goal keeper and into the net. Julian then sealed the game with the 6th goal for HH from inside the penalty box.

Man of the match: Fabian

Trinity FC 4 - 1 UFC

Trinity, determined to start afresh with the new semester, kept to their word after securing another win. Trinity had the better start, with tries by Walter, Munya, Baller and Martin that all went wide or out of target. Baller, however, did manage to score in the 18th minute, giving Trinity the lead. Into the second half, Basil made a few nice saves but Baller added the score sheet with a one on one with the keeper. in the 38th minute, Baller scores his 3rd goal for the game, and his 6th for the league. Less than ten minutes later, a pass by Lawal ended up in a goal by Shepherd. Hanif scored the consolation goal for UFC 4 minutes before game ended, after a fluke by keeper Stanley.

Man of the match: Baller

Rivals FC 2 - 1 Kelkatu FC

Kelkatu definitely started the game fast, with a goal right after kick off, thanks to Tompoq who locked the ball pass the goal keeper and into the net. It was not long before Rivals equalized. 9 minutes later, Lingesh, assisted by Cipriano, goes one on one with Hafis and scores. Amirul then had chances to let Kelkatu take the lead again but the first half remained 1 all. In the 51st minute, Taha scores the winning goal for Rivals after chipping the ball into the top right of the net. 4 minutes later, a goal by Amirul was ruled off as a foul, much to Kelkatu's dismay.

Man of the match: Taha

Eagles FC 2 - 0 Galacticos FC

Galacticos started the game with good ball possession, but it was Eagles who did the striking, with the likes of Salim, Nadun, Kimu and Mmediong. In the 30th minute, a penalty kick was awarded to Eagles after a hand ball by defender Ralph inside the box. Mmediong scored the penalty, giving Eagles the lead. 4 minutes into the second half, Mmediong scores his 2nd for the game, and 6th for the league (its a tie with Baller) after hitting the goal bar.

Man of the match: Mmediong

Eagles FC 2 - 0 Headhunters FC

Eagles held on to their winning streak with a 2-0 win over Headhunters, with a quick goal in the 8th minute by Mmediong who headed the ball right over Gk Marko. Eagles had more chances to attack in the likes of Fejiro, Nadun, Mmediong, Landy and Kimu while Headhunters played a more defensive mode. In the second half, Headhunters were given a free kick right outside the box but Avinash failed to materialize. Marko notably made a few good saves but Landy managed to score in the 55th minute, with a cross by Nadun from the left. Man of the match was Nadun.

Kelkatu FC 6 - 0 Pappadam FC

Fresh from an epic win last week, Kelkatu once again took 3 points home. Kelkatu played a very offensive game with tries by Tompoq, Ringo and Mamat and all that paid off after 16 minutes when Azam scored. Less than 10 minutes later, Azam crossed a stunning ball to Mamat, who headed the ball into the back of the net. Determined to be unbeatable, Mamat scored another goal just one minute later, dribbling right pass the gk's nose. Into the second half, Farouk crossed a ball to Amirul, who added to the score line, 3 to none. 2 minutes later, Amirul returned the favor and Farouk scored. A penalty was then conceded by Pappadam's Tamil due to a hand ball inside the box. Tompoq took the penalty, and he took it well. Before the game ended in Kelkatu's favor, Tamil was shown another yellow, adding up to a red, and will be banned for one match. Man of the match was Kelkatu's Farouk.

Rivals FC 1 - 3 Trinity FC

Back from a disappointing loss last week, Trinity came back to the field determined to win. Munya added the 2nd goal to his league with a top left corner goal in the 14th minute. Jorden had an upsetting miss when his shot went wide after a one on one with the gk Kuda. Taha's shot 2 minutes later also went just above the post. 7 minutes into the second half, Trinity scores again thanks to a stunning goal by Baller, who left-footed the ball into the goal as Tammam watched on. Rivals' defense was notably a bit off that day. 10 minutes later, Shepherd scored after making a terrific run from the center line and passing the defense. In the 51st minute, Martin was shown a yellow for rough push on Taha, who scores the lone goal for Rivals, after a cross by Lingesh. Man of the match was Baller.

Galacticos FC 1 - 0 UFC

This match resulted in a flurry of emotions among everybody; disappointment on Galacticos' behalf and impressiveness on UFC's. Galacticos are very evidently missing previous sem's players such as PK and Celestine. They however, had the upper hand of the match with tries by JJ, Venket, Steve and Mohsen but none of the tries made it to goals. In the 28th minute, UFC's Naqi made a very interesting defensive move by slapping off Steve's free kick and was given an instant red card (will be banned for 2 matches). Steve takes the penalty and takes the lead for Galacticos. Galacticos had a few more chances to add up to the score through Danny Ooi and Kelvin but they were saved by UFC's Gk Basil. In the 55th minute, UFC had the chance to equalize when Ragu took a shot when the defense was clear but it hit the top of the post instead. Man of the match was Ralph, for preserving the defense.

Headhunters 0 - 0 Galacticos

The first game of the league started off with newcomers Head Hunters and old favorites Galacticos. Head Hunters, though a new team, contained several 'old' players such as previously Galacticos' Best Defender Celestine. Back to play against his old team, Celestine did a splendid job guarding his goal. There were a number of attempts by Galacticos early into the first half with the likes of Kelvin, JJ and Robert. However, it was Julian's shot that left mouths hanging wide open. With a clear error on Galacticos' part, Julian's shot missed the goal just by an inch and hit the bar instead. Headhunters' Fabian notably made a few good tries. Into the second half, a cross from Steve resulted in a solid shot by Robert, whose shot went slightly wide. Steve also made a few more remarkably good attempts that created chances for Galacticos to take the lead, but unfortunately none materialized. He was then awarded Man of the Match.

Yellow cards: Ralph & Brian (both Galacticos)

Rivals FC 9 - 0 UFC

Rivals FC is brought to you by the combination of previous champions Sabah FC and Machanz FC. Both teams have decided to merge due to the lack of their own players who have left. UFC is also no stranger to people leaving as almost half of their previous players have left to form Headhunters. Both teams, with relatively almost new players, face each other. Rivals were very apparently having the advantage with several strikes by Lingesh, Raj and Taha. In the 16th minute, Lingesh's shot was met with Justin's arm and the referee ruled out a penalty against UFC. The first goal of the day was scored by Jorden. Lingesh made it two to none just one minute later. Shortly before the 1st half ended, Taha brought an outstandingly solo ball into the box and then into the net, adding the goal score to 3 to 0. Just 2 minutes into the second half, Nan scores. Berty had a great attempt after wards, but UFC's Basil made the save. Lingesh then scores again, with swift assisting by fellow Machanz Raj, who himself scores 7 minutes later. Taha then tried again, but this time the ball hit the top post and into Basil's eager hands. Lingesh then scores the hat trick with another goal. Then shortly after entering the field, Vijay adds the final goal to Rivals, resulting in a very solid, convincing 9-0. Lingesh was awarded the Man of the Match.

Trinity FC 3 - 5 Kelkatu FC

Foreseen as a tough match, Trinity made it look easy with a very quick goal by Munya less than 1 minute into the game, thanks to a through pass by Baller. 7 minutes later, Baller assists again yet another goal, taken nicely by Shepherd. Kelkatu then fought back, with tries by Tompoq, Amirul and Farouk but it was Baller who brought the ball into the back of the net, ending the first half with 3 goals to none. 5 minutes into the second half, Kelkatu's striving determination paid off in a goal by Amirul, crossed by Mamat who just entered the field as a sub. 4 minutes later, Mamat soars the ball pass Kuda's hands, bringing the competition closer. Then the equalizer comes in the form of Amirul, through Azam's cross. Amirul then had the closest chance to take the lead with an open shot that was knocked out by Trinity's Dannie directly on the line. Baller had a few tries that went wide, unable to take back the lead. Kelkatu then made an exceedingly remarkable comeback with another goal by Amirul, making it his third for the day. Adding salt to the wound, which involved another shot by Baller gone bad (hit the post), Fakhril scores the final goal, making it a comfortable win for Kelkatu, who went from being 3-0 down in the first half to winning 5-3 in the end. Mamat was named the Man of the Match.

Eagles FC 9 - 0 Pappadam FC

Old favorites Eagles find themselves against newly formed Pappadam FC. Eagles took an early lead with a goal by Kimu in 5 minutes. 4 minutes later, midfielder Mmediong takes a long shot, that lobbed over the goal keeper and into the goal. Fejiro adds on to the score with another shot that lobbed over Pappadam's gk Rishi. Landy then made it 4 with a cross by Mmediong just before the 1st half closed. Fejiro then made a exceptional run from his defense position and places the ball comfortably behind the opposition's net, where it seemed to belong that day. A penalty was then conceded by Pappadam when the ball made contact with Hafeel's arm. Ope, who seemed to not have touched the ball, took the penalty but it went wide. Mmediong (2), Nadun and Salim scored after that, resulting in Mmediong being not only the 3rd person to score a hat trick this week, but also the Man of the Match.

Cahaya Taufik Community Cup Sem 1, 2010 report

SABAH FC 0 - 1 EAGLES FC

This semester, just like every other, CFC scheduled a Community Match between last semester's top 2 teams. This is an event to promote football in Curtin as well as to honor the two top teams from the previous league.

This Community Cup this semester is between previous Champions Sabah FC and 1st runners-up Eagles FC. The event was kindly sponsored by Cahaya Taufik Restaurant.

VIPs at the event: Mr Azhar (club advisor) and Chuma (Student Council president). Unfortunately, Mr. Johan (owner of CTR) was unable to attend the event.

Chuma taking the penalty shoot out for the opening ceremony

This semester, Sabah FC and Machanz FC have decided to merge together into one team. This has resulted in the Sabah team playing for the Community Cup to involve both previous Sabah and Machanz players.

Eagles FC also 'borrowed' a few players from other teams such as Baller, Steve and Celestine.

Eagles FC took the lead just after 3 minutes into the game with a goal by Trinity's Baller. He tapped the goal into the net with assisting by Salim.

Some notable tries were by Amirul, Baller, Landy, Raj, Steve, and Taha.

Sabah had a brilliant chance to equalize when Ope stumbled out of his supposed goal keeping position and Raj took a shot at the goal but Celestine managed to rob the goal off Sabah by blocking off the goal right at the line.

In the last few crucial minutes of the game, Taha had a very close shot which went just slightly over the net.

Season Analysis: Goalscorers

This post was written by an individual that was granted a permission to write in this blog. It is not necessarily reflect CFC's perspective.

28 Matches, 141 goals. Forget about 4 own goals from New Venture, 137 goals scored by 54 players. Attacking forces are proven crucial in this league as goal differences made the different in the league position - look at 2nd and 3rd, as well as 4th to 6th.
Golden Boot award will be handed to Raj(again) from Machanz FC, with the total of 11goals almost half of their total. His teammate Lingesh followed closely with 9goals, thanks to 7 he had against New Venture - while Raj took the remaining 4 they got in that match. This partnership contributed to almost all goals for Machanz, because 2 each from Trish and Ringgo completed 24 goals for them. Raj scored in all games except when they lost to Trinity, which means they lost their medal for this season.
The Champion Sabah FC scored 31 goals in the campaign, 2 of them came from NV's own goals. Jorden lead their goal chart with 6goals. Eventhough that amount of goals put him 5th place (with Nadun from Eagles), but they have 11 players scored throughout the season to help them winning the league. Taha, Fir and Ahmed contributed 4 each, and Nan scored 3 before he broke his collar bone. Sumit and Berty scored twice, while 4 more scored once. Defender Julian's goal in highlight gave them the winning against main title rival (in week 6) Galacticos.
2nd place Eagles FC is 2nd in term of goals scored, with 29goals, one from NV player. They also had 11 players scored for them, including the 2 who involved in transfer windows with machanz - Samuel and Juma. Mmediong scored 8 to get 3rd in the scorers' rank, while Nadun matched Jorden's goal tally with 6. They also have Salim with 4, and Kimu with 3 - one from it when he equalized against Sabah FC. Ope had 2, while 6 more scored one.
Table leader in more than half of the season Galacticos who finished 3rd, only scored 20 (4th in term of goal scored) shared among 9players. Their star-man Steve lead the way with 5, and Sean scored 4. 3 more players scored twice, JJ, PK and Mseks. 4 other players scored one. One more goal is from NV own goal.
Kelkatu FC relied too much on the rookie Amirul who scored 7 for them, more than one third of the total 18. Salim and Abdi scored 3, while Mohsen had 2 for himself including the equaliser against Galacticos in the last match. 3 more players scored one.
Sheperd scored 3 for Trinity, and Dennie 2. 4 more players scored one.
As for UFC, they scored their opening goal in their shocking win against Kelkatu in week 3 through Farid. Daniel scored 3, and Rusy scored 2.
New Venture opened their goal in the first matach against Trinity by Ragu. But they had the own-goal issue in the following matches. Their ey-player Farouk however managed to score 2 more.

This analysis suggests that having a squad that is capable to score is very important, more important than just having one (or two) scoring machine in the team. It is proven when Sabah, Eagles, and Galcticos had 9 to 11 players scored for them. Machanz in the other hand was 'not-enough' to get top 3 even they have 2 top scorers in the league which gave them 20 goals amongst just the two of them.

Week 4 Summary

Theme - Keep clean sheet, you'll be on top.
Saturday
Kelkatu FC 5 Trinity 0
Trinity started this game with only 9 players, suspected that the rest are still recovering from the after-prom-effect (peace!). However, the full-team Kelkatu did not really capitalised the advantage they have, until Salim break the deadlock with a smart long-distance chip-shot. Kelkatu lead 4-0 in first half, 2 from Amirul and 1 from Abdi. Abdi added another in 2nd half, while Trinity got their men up to 11 after that to finish the remaining 20minutes.
Machanz FC 11 New Venture 0
Raj and Machanz combined together to destroy NV side. Machanz had 7-0 lead in the first half. Despite a slow start in 2nd half, Machanz scored 4 more to complete the disastrous 11-0 win to NV, with Hafeel notably made a funny handball foul for the only yellow card of the day. Lingesh was awarded man of match, for his 7 goals and some assists from 4 of Raj's goals. Lingesh is now league top scorer with 9, closely followed by 8 of Raj.
Sunday
Galacticos FC 11 UFC 0
Galacticos keep their net safe and away from any ball as they trash UFC side 11-0. For record, Galacticos haven't concede a goal this season, proved that Joel and Celestine worth their individual award last season. Galacticos started brightly from the very beginning and looked unstoppable. 7 players are on the scoresheet for them. UFC lost their goalkeeper Basil in the middle of 2nd half for injury. Celestine notably made a brilliant run just from outside his own penalty box, driblle past few players and sprint all the way to opponent's penalty box before calmly slot the ball in to add his name into the scoresheet.
Sabah FC 1 Eagles FC 1
The match to watch for this season as the previous time this 2 teams meet, the match didn't end. It is also a match that could make it obvious of which team is favorite to grab the league this season because they shared points on top of the table before this week start. A very entertaining match in term of quality, Taha's free kick was flick-headed by Jorden to give Sabah the lead in the first half. However, they lost Nan(subbed with Fir then) in the first half for an injury that loooked serious. A report later confirmed that he broke his collar bone. Both teams maintain their spirit in 2nd half, and Eagles got their equaliser by Kimu's long shot from outside the box. Sabah also lost Marco after that for a brave save from him in 1-on-1 situation, and Den replaced him in goal. Sabah was playing with 10-men for this incident as they made all the subs before it. The match ended 4 minutes before time as the field is too dark to continue, and the scoreline is fair for both team.

Galacticos climbed to top this week, with 2 goals different advantage to the other 2 teams that share same points - 8. Sabah and Eagles are those sharing the points, with Sabah has more goals scored to be at 2nd spot. Machanz is just 1 point below them to follow closely.

1st October is Nigerian independant day, and Eagles FC made a very active effort when they arrange a friendly match. Nigerian team VS CFC the Rest of the World. It was told that it is basically Eagles FC (which most of them are Nigerian) will play a team that is formed by CFC high committee, which should consist of the registered players in the league which come from all over the world that has the quality to represent CFC itself to produce an entertaining match. Players are picked from all the teams in the league.
The match will be 1st on October-Thursday, at 5pm. All are welcome to celebrate together this inaugrual event.

Updates:

This friendly tournament ended 3-1 in favor of the world. The mixed team was on fire, but they didnot find easy way to goal as they got the lead 1-0 in the first, header by Salim(Bangladesh).
Eagles came back into the match early in 2nd half to level the score, a fantastic shot by Mmediong.
However, towards the end of the match, Raj turned on his scoring engine to score a brace within just few minutes to cap the match 3-1.
It was an entertaining match after all, and watched by VIPs, including the dean, as well as Nigerian communities around Miri. It was a successful event, and CFC is looking forward to get involve with more of this kind of activities in future. Thanks to Macheal Owan and the gang for opening this opportunity for all of us.

Result

Remaining Fixture

Transfer Windows Closed

Sorry for inaccurate report previously about this issue.

After almost 3 weeks for the teams to re-strengthen their players list, some teams made effort to reorganise their players.
UFC made 10transfers, 5ins and 5outs. However, their transfers didnot involved other teams, meaning players out not joining any team, and players in are also not from any team, as simple as that.
Machanz and Eagles in the other and made a trade, in defensive department. Samuel joined Machanz in the value of Juma to go the opposite way.
There is also a transfer in New Venture because Andrea Ongeta left after finished his IEP, and replaced by a new boy.

Good luck to all for the remaining 4 matches!!!

Sunday Overview

Sunday. Galacticos enter the field against New Venture with high confident but with more cautious not repeat Kelaktu's mistake one day before. Galacticos won by 5-0 by the of this match. BUt they played with 10-men for about 50 minutes when captain Rabbit collected his 2nd yellow from a high-handball. Galacticos if now the only team in the league to keep clean sheets after 3 games. This could prove the worth of best-defender award Celestine got previous season.
The 2nd match between Eagles and Trinity was another title determining match, for both drew with Galacticos before, and beaten the 2 new teams. However, pre-match was disturbed by claims that Trinity will field unregistered players, which is still under investigation. The match went tight as expected, but Eagles proved they are the better side, and a side to be watched. Eagles won 4-2, and that brought them to 2nd spot with same points to Sabah. Sabah are above for 1 extra goal scored. This match saw another incident, where Eagles non-playing-members(manager, subs, fans) were celebrating their goal in the pitch line. An attemp from committee to stop that had also sparked another unhealthy arguement.
After all, the league is good so far after 3 matches. Transfer window is now open for teams to sharpen their line-up. We'll see how things go in few weeks time.

Kelkatu Dropped Out

Kelkatu FC 0 - UFC 1
Saturday, 5pm. Match between Kelkatu FC against UFC was thought by many to an easy for Kelkatu. Newly-formed UFC had conceded 20 in 2 matches, while Kelkatu drew with strongsides - Sabah and Machanz.
Overconfident Kelkatu fielded 5 strikers but UFC defended like Great China Wall in the first 20 minutes. A mistake from Kelkatu's defensive department opened opportunity for Farid to calmly slot a goal for UFC.
Kelkatu maintained the attacking pressure on UFC, but goalkeeper Basil and man-of-the-match Justin shut the goal's mouth pretty well. Match ended 1-0.
Kelkatu is now 2nd from bottom, while UFC just above them with 3 points from this win.

Sabah at the Top of Mountain

Machanz FC 1 - Sabah Fc 2
Saturday, 3pm. The match between 2 previous champions Machanz FC against Sabah was held with prematch talk about the injuries issue in both team. But, they fielded all the available players and the match went tight even without some big names.
Despite Machanz who had more players injured, it was Sabah who lost a player as early minute when AShvin had to be substituted. Jorden opened the scoring for Sabah, follwed by Taha's dribble from leftside of center line past 2 players, and beat 2 more when he cut inside to penalty box and slot the ball past Mohamed for Sabah's 2nd. First half ended with 2-0.
2nd half started with different approach from Sabah where they seem to play it safe to holding on with the 2 goal lead. Lingesh and the gang worked their socks off to get the goal, and Raj scored few minutes before time. BUt it was not enough, and Sabah gained 3 valuable points to make them the obvious favorite for the league title.
Both sides drew with Kelkatu FC before, and had big win against UFC/New Venture to be level before this match.

Professionalism: Celebration

This is not a decision by CFC, nor an agreed situation by board of CFC. This is an opinion from a member that was granted a permission to write in this blog.

In related to the incident on sunday, the match between Eagles and Trinity, some aspect of the incident need to be clarified. This post will also try to explain some of the confusion that is seen in the chat box.
First thing to comment is the Eagles' celebration. In professional football, it is clear that players' who are not CURRENTLY playing in the 11 in the field, should not by any means intrude the pitch area. It includes NOT for celebration, medical reason, what else other negative things(if any).
However, we are being linean in such a way that we understand we don't provide proper medic staff etc to make the situation PERFECT for the league, so some cases is allowable. I mean, a teammate who is not playing may be allowed to bring his injured friend out of the field or anything like that.
However, some unimportant thing (like celebration), players shouldn't be allowed to enter the field. But, the scorer may want to go outside the pitch to celebrate with the subs(and fans, and manager), not the other way round. This should be the way.
It should be the manager's responsibility to understand this task, and make sure the players know what is can, what is cannot.
Second thing to comment, Rabbit involvement in the field for that moment. There has been few versions of stories about his action. However, from management point of view, CFC need to control such celebration to not go overboard, and as a high committee member and the official-on-duty for that match, Rabbit did put his effort to bring the situation into control. There might be some dissatisfaction from the other party, but in this case people should listen to what the official-on-duty asked you to do.

I am not in any power to make decision for this case, but I have suggestion. Eagles' celebration that day shouldn't be repeated in future, and committee can make it clear to EVERYONE about this.
Is there a need to punish Eagles this time? If yes, what kind of punishment? Only for certain players(yellow card for those who intruded?) or the punishment for team? If no, in what way we can make it sure that this will not repeat?
Should Rabbit be attacked for his action that day?
All these are the questions that we all should think about, properly, so that it will benefited all of us, the club, the teams, and the quality of the league itself.

In the 2nd half, the series of goals continued: Kimu (42”), Mmediong (45”), Salim (58”), and Ope, who took the penalty at the 71st minute. Man of the Match was Nadun, who did a notably good job in the entire game.

Machanz started off with a bang when Safiq managed a double save and when Raj’s long shot hit the post. Raj eventually scored the lead in the 11th minute. Kelkatu had a few strikes by Salim and Azam (saved by Mohammad). In the 20th minute, Machanz conceded a penalty when Amirul was tackled in the box. Tompoq took the penalty and shot it right pass the bar. In the 33rd minute, Kelkatu equalized when Salim shot the ball into the back of the net after a cross from Mau. Another penalty was conceded by Machanz and somehow, Amirul’s penalty shot was saved by Mohamed. Kelkatu had just missed two penalties in one match. Man of the Match was Venket because he did a very good job with the defending.

Back again after a draw with Kelkatu, Sabah faced New Venture, whose hopes were brutally crushed in just about 15 minutes into the game when Sabah led the game with 4 goals. A hat-trick by Nan (6”, 8” and 9”) and Jorden’s ball which was blocked into the goal by NV’s Raymond. A series of goals by Sabah followed: Ahmed (17” and 25”), Cipriano (20”), Danny (penalty 23”), Taha (38”), Tammam (43”), Jorden (46”) and Sumit (54”).

Review: Galacticos 0 Trinity 0

Prepared by Abby for CFC Bulletin

After a two week break, the teams are back for their second match. Both teams had a good start with a few off-target shots by PK, Adi (Galacticos), Philip and Baller (Trinity). Shortly after, Vincent’s try was saved by Joel. Galacticos had the better start to the second half with a few tries by Mseks, Steve and JJ who had a free kick (both saved by Hilary), and PK. The ball went on the other side with more tries from Baller, Kuda and Danny, which all went off-target or were saved by Joel. Few minutes before the match ended, PK had an open chance to score the last-minute winner for Galacticos but he missed. Both teams left with a point each, with Man of the Match awarded to newcomer Trinity player, Danny.

Review: Machanz FC 8 UFC 0

The title holders, Machanz, went up against the other newly formed team, U. FC with the comeback of Trish, after a break due to a leg injury. He and Lingesh had a few tries before the ball finally hit the back of the net thanks to Ringo in the 13th minute. 2 minutes later, Lingesh added another goal to the score line. Raj had a try but it went off target. He did however assist the third goal for Machanz, which was scored again by Ringo. Hasnat made a number of fantastic saves for U.FC while Mohammad, on the other end, was barely tested. After a few attempts, Raj scored the 4th goal at the 48th minute. Comeback Trish scored the next goal with a header crossed by Ringo. He then assisted the next goal that was scored by Lingesh. It was he again who scored the next goal 3 minutes later, with a pass by Lingesh. In the 77th minute, Raj wrapped up the game with the 8th goal for Machanz, sealing the win and Man of the Match award, which went to Lingesh.

Review: Kelkatu FC 2 Sabah FC 2

Kelkatu FC, back again with mostly the same team as last semester, meets Sabah FC, back with several changes, such as the absence of Sultan, who was awarded the Best Athlete at last semester’s Sport Night. Ahmed had the first few tries in the 6th and 12th minute which both went off-target but it was rookie Amirul who scored the opening goal for Kelkatu 5 minutes later, with a superb pass from Mohsen. Both sides had a few more attempts by Amirul, Mohsen, Safiq and Cipriano but the score line stayed stagnant. Sabah equalized 4 minutes into the 2nd half with a goal by Ahmed. Tompoq’s free kick was blocked out by Ashvind on the line, and Pee Chee received his 2nd yellow card and was sent off. The referee then made a few controversial decisions and issued more yellow cards to Ahmed, Danny Ooi and Ashvind. Ashvind’s conceded free kick was taken nicely by Tompoq, whose deliver was headed in by Amirul, scoring his 2nd goal in his debut match. Taha then took advantage of Hafiz’s blunder when he scored the equalizer for Sabah by firing a long shot goal from the center line during kick off. The game ended with a draw and Amirul was the Man of the Match because of his outstanding performance.

Review: Trinity FC 3 New Venture 1

Previously 2nd in the league, Trinity faced newly formed New Venture, who is under the CFC’s advisor, Mr. Azhar, next. Trinity dominated the game right away, with a goal by Philip in the 6th minute. They had a few more attempts but more noted was Ma Xiao’s shot, which was on target but saved by Trinity’s new GK, Hilary. 10 minutes into the second half, Ragu scored the equalizer for NV, with swift assisting by Rohit. Their celebration is cut short when Trinity became another goal up with an own goal by Hafeel 3 minutes later. 3 minutes later, Taurai scored the third and final goal for Trinity and the match. Raymond from NV was chosen as the Man of the Match.

Review: Galacticos 0 Eagles FC 0

The first game of the league kicked off with a match between Galacticos and Eagles, who were unfortunately disqualified from the league last semester due to a dispute. Galacticos had more possession of the ball for most of the first half and JJ, a new installment for the team, had a shot that went wide in the 25th minute. Five minutes later, Amate tried but it was Salim’s free kick that missed a goal by just a few inches when it went slightly over the post. Shortly into the second half, yellow cards were issued to PK and Fejiro after having a dual struggle and also Galacticos’ captain Ralph for unneeded argument with the referee. Michael Owan had a really close on-target shot but it was saved by last semester’s best GK, Joel. Celestine was awarded Man of the Match for his brilliant defending once again.

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.

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
