THE ROYAL Brunei Police Force Sports Council (MS PDB) are "happy" with their DST Super League season despite failing to achieve their target of a top-three finish.

Currently fourth in the league, MS PDB might be pushed down a spot depending on the outcome of Saturday's game between fifth-placed QAF FC and bottom side Najip FC.

MS PDB lost all hope of finishing third after a 3-1 loss to Indera Sports Club in the final game of their campaign last night, but their coach seemed satisfied with their season.

"Although we didn't achieve our aim for a top-three finish, I am still happy with my players," said Sgt Sahrin Hj Md Jaya after the match.

"We have the commitment from all the players, it's just that we have so many new faces.

"I will be letting go of three players (as) they didn't perform well enough during the tournament, and I will be looking at bringing in a younger team next season.

"One player that may join the team is Zurkumi Dawat, an ex-national centre back.

"We need to improve our defence and goalkeeper next season... The last time we played at a national level like this was over 10 years ago in the Proton B League," he explained.

QAF's tie against Najip, who have not won a single point all campaign and have let in 67 goals in eight games, marks them out as favourites and Sgt Sahrin has already predicted that a win looks to be on the cards for the multi-titled QAF.

He did, though, take some solace in their match against QAF a 4-1 victory on January 4 which he called their "best game of the season".

"I think QAF will be taking the three points on Saturday," Sgt Sahrin noted.

Like his coach, MS PDB captain Rosmini Hj Abdul Kahar has fond memories of their game against QAF.

But not one to ponder too much about the past, the skipper is already looking forward to next season.

"My favorite game of the season was against QAF. We had a lot of support from the crowd for the 90 minutes," said Rosmini.

"We definitely need to play more to gain experience, especially the new faces on the team," added the former DPMM FC player.
