THERE will be no shortage of action in the local football scene when
the second round of the DST Brunei FA Cup tournament resumes on October
16.
Twenty-two teams are still in the mix for the first DST Brunei FA Cup. Hijrah FT, Besa FC, Indera SC, Muara Vella FC, Prison Department, Rimba Star FC, MPKS Matan, Tunas FC, Kilanas FC, Jerudong FC, Sporting FT, LLRC FT, Najip FC, QAF FC, Sewira FC, Majara FC, IKLS FC, Setia Perdana FC, Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB), Royal Brunei Police Forces Sports Council (MS PDB), Lun Bawang FC and BSRC all made it to the second round of the tournament.
After a three-month break due to the fasting month of Ramadhan, Hari Raya and Brunei Games, the DST Brunei FA Cup teams in the Sultanate will finally go into action this month.
Tournament director Hj Mohd Taha Hj Mohd Tahir said the tournament would return this month, adding that details of the second round matches have yet to be confirmed.
"InsyaAllah, the DST Brunei FA Cup will start on October 16. It was a long break for the Brunei FA Cup football teams after the fasting month and the Brunei Games," Hj Mohd Taha said.
"Some of the players in the Brunei FA Cup have also been involved in the AFF Suzuki Cup over the past months," Hj Mohd Taha added.
The players who are currently in Myanmar for the AFF Suzuki Cup include Azri Zahari (Majra FC), Maududi Hilmi Kasmi (Majra FC), Hamizan Abdul Aziz (Indera SC), Md Afi Aminuddin (Indera SC), Md Azwan Ali Rahman, Md Nurikhwan, Haizul Rani Metussin (MS ABDB), Affendy Hj Akub (MS ABDB), and Mohd Aminuddin Zakwan Tahir (Muara Vella FC).
The remaining 11 players in the squad are from DPMM FC, who are not involved in the DST Brunei FA Cup.
Kicking off on June 10, a total of 44 teams entered the first round of the competition, which is open to both league and non-league sides in the Sultanate.
"We have been training daily. We have been focusing on the fitness of the players. There were no friendly games due to unavailability of a football field. We are only aiming at reaching the semi-finals of the tournament," assistant manager of the LLRC FT Ahmad Sazarin HJ Ahmad Sabli said.
Meanwhile, Kilanas FC assistant manager Mohd Radzuan Hj Madali is confident ahead of the second round of the tournament.
"We have been training everyday for the past month. The squad looks good at the moment and we will face any team in the tournament. We are going to play a friendly game against football teams in Labuan," Mohd Radzuan added.
The winners of the DST Brunei FA Cup 2012 will receive a challenge trophy, gold medals and a cash prize of $4,000.
The runners-up will receive a trophy and medals, along with prize money of $3,000. The Brunei Times
