DST Super League match between Najip FC and Jerudong FCpostponed


Sunday, June 8, 2014

LAST night’s DST Super League match between Najip FC and Jerudong FC was postponed due to the absence of seven Najip FC players who were chosen for the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy (HBT) national team currently at a training camp in Sabah.

Speaking in a telephone interview with The Brunei Times, Najip FC head coach Hj Johari Bungsu confirmed the postponement of the match at the Berakas Sports Complex and quickly mentioned how proud the club is for being able to contribute seven players to the national team.

“As a club, we're proud that our players are chosen to represent the country on a national level. There's no greater joy for us,” said Hj Johari.

“We fully support our players in building their skills, talent and capabilities as a footballer.

“I believe this is our responsibility as a club… To see our players progress further and further.

“So in light of the recent development, the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam and Najip FC had to postpone the match with Jerudong FC,” he added.
 
Hj Johari also said that their game against Wijaya FC on Wednesday has been put on hold for the same reason.

The head coach, though, was unable to confirm the dates of the postponed games.

League action continues today with league leaders and defending champions Indera Sports Club going up against seventh-placed QAF FC at the Berakas Sports Complex.

Second-placed Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) will meet bottom dwellers Kilanas FC at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.

Both matches will start at 8:15pm.

Table toppers Indera have yet to lose this season and only have four more games left in the campaign.

Indera are at the summit with 34 points from 12 matches while MS ABDB have 31 points from 14 matches.

Indera’s last match saw them come back from a two-goal deficit to beat Wijaya FC 4-2, with all of Indera’s goals coming in the second half at the Balapan Track and Field.

It was the second game in the space of a month Indera battled back to victory after their 4-3 win against Kilanas on May 4.

Kilanas were leading 3-0 but were unable to defend their lead and let in four unanswered goals, with all of Indera’s goals once again coming in the second half.
