Welcome Back

Nearly Nine Months out from the radar, now I have times to update this blog. I know that lots of people sneak sneak in just want to know what we are doing especially on the curent 2011-2012 DST Brunei League. To be honest, I only have a little info on our team. Missing the first two games because of Malas, cycling, and other personnel commitment which is not interesting.

For JFC, some of the latest info:

1. In group B.
2. We've won the frist two games agaisnt LSC (5-1) and DST FC (4-2)
3. Currently managed by Tuan Hj Jalal.
5. Coach by Hj Baim and Shahjohan. (Coach Zul have commitment with HBT team)
6. More than 50% new faces. Haven't knew some of them.
7. Some of important players will be back in January.
8. Samra have been appointed captain. Unfortunately his injured and will missed the whole season, sorry to him. Hope he will get well soon.

Overall, the mission this season is to ensure that JFC still exist and play in the Premiere Leagu next season.

Stay tune.

JFC vs BSFT (1-0)

JFC vs MS ABDB (0-2)

Jerudong FC have a mission: From 4th to 3rd

A BREAKTHROUGH into the Top Three is Jerudong FC's main target for the 2011 DST Group Brunei Premier League (BPL) I."For two consecutive seasons we had to settle for fourth. This time we want to finish in the Top Three," said Jerudong FC head coach Julkifli Hj Hitam, during the team's training session at Jerudong Primary School football field on Wednesday.Jerudong FC wrapped up the 2009/10 season with 29 points to sit at fourth of 10 teams, 13 points adrift of third place AM Gunners FC.The head coach believes this season could be the right time to achieve the target, taking into account the 'ban' on import players which has yet to be confirmed by organisers the Football Federation of Brunei Darussalam (FFBD)."It (the ban) will have no effect on us and it will definitely level the playing field. Viban (Francis Bayong of QAF FC) had always been the gamechanger, scoring the late goals,"said Julkifli, who started off as Jerudong FC's assistant coach in 2001 before taking charge in 2005.In both their BPL I matches against QAF FC last season, Cameroonian Bayong was instrumental in Jerudong FC's losses. He netted both goals in Jerudong FC's 2-1 loss in their first encounter of the season, before nodding the winner (3-2) in stoppage time over 10-man Jerudong FC as a substitute.However, Jerudong FC have another problem at hand, struggling in a race against time to regain match fitness and get the team together. Like other clubs competing in the BPL, Jerudong FC started training late because there was no news of the league until the FFBD officially made the announcement on Jan 28."Actually we were already playing in friendlies a month after Hari Raya to prepare for the league. We kept waiting for the news (on the league) but it never came up, so eventually we stopped playing for a while. It was hard to arrange training that way because we didn't want the players to get bored from waiting, so we had quite a late start," said the head coach.But, Jerudong FC were given a boost recently, when they were invited to compete in the Four Corners Tournament organised by Brunei Youth Team (BYT).The tournament is to help teams prepare for the BPL I kick-off on March 8.Cited by Julkifli to be their biggest preparation to date, Jerudong FC fell 2-1 against the hosts in their first test at the Berakas Sports Complex on Friday. Nonetheless, the head coach was not too fazed by the defeat against BYT, who fielded three former DPMM FC players that will lace up for the BPL II side throughout the duration of the competition."We took the opportunity to field all the players in the match and, to be fair, we had around six good chances. It just showed that we were made to pay for having started training late. We need to focus on improving our stamina and chemistry," said the head coach.They will continue the fight against Brunei Shell FT at Brunei Shell Recreation Club today, before rounding up the group-stage against the Royal Brunei Armed Forces' Sports Council at Penanjong Camp, Tutong, on Sunday.Julkifli also stated that six players will be promoted from the Under-16 scheme to lace up for Jerudong FC this season.He added that two players might also make it into the first eleven, though he refused to mention any names.The U-16 scheme is one of Jerudong FC's initiatives to give youth the opportunity to focus on sports rather than anti-social activities.Schemes for Under-10, Under-12 and Under-14 are also available. Those interested to participate in the schemes can contact Jerudong FC manager Hj Kharul Azmi Hj Lakat (8666631).The Brunei Times

FOUR Team Tornament

JFC, MS ABDB, Brunei Youth, anf BSFT will be joining the four team tournament which will be held on 11th Feb 2011. So guys, be prepared.

RE-CAP 2010

Two days to go and it will be 2011. Brunei League should start few months ago but it keeps on pending and pending. Not sure what’s the reason behind it even though there’s a lot of rumours about it which I dun really care so much.

2010 is another great season for JFC after securing 4th place for the second time below QAF, MS ABDB, and AM Gunners. It’s a bit chaos in the early stage of the season with a cruel last minute crazy rules by the organiser@ etc which not allowing Army personnel’s to play with other than MS ABDB. Seven-Eight our listed playa was the employee of ABDB. We crawl back like anggak under the guidance of experienced playa like Abg, coach Zul, Hj Lanut, Hj Baim, Managers Azam, Bak, and not forgotten our hansom leader Hj Murni. This year we saw young playa like Akeem, Wadi, Azwan, Ucing, and many more have progressively improves throughout the seasons. Not to forget the veteran play who still show their loyalty to the team. Overall it’s a good team performance for a team which don’t have any superstar, less fund, and facilities for training. Syukur kepada Allah.

2011 is coming and expected a different challenge. Numbers of playa will be out from the team due to career and other personal issues. It’s happen before and believes with teamwork, we can do better. Insyallah….

NO 10 - CONFIRMED

JFC 2 - 3 MS ABDB

It's the end of the road, but it will be not the end of JFC spirit to keep on kicking the ball and having fun in National Football league scene. So now we changed our team name to Jerudong Fun Club.... *lol*...

We start well, coming back well, controlling the game especially in the second half, but it's still not enough since MS ABDB managed to scored one goal more than us. Pressing well early in the game, we managed to score from Sumbat clinical finish after been set out by Azwan. His left footed shot left MS ABDB keeper helpless. It was less than one minute into the game. Knowing that MS ABDB is very dangerous from set piece, we did the same mistake again from previous games by allowing number of simple foul which led to their first and second goal. JFC then gear up the tempo and from a well work between midfield and forward, Samra managed to make it square again from a tremendous shot from long range which led the goalie helpless again.

After having teh tarik and number of songs by coach Zul in the dressing room, second half was all JFC. Possession will not win the game unless you managed to score. Yes it did proved when MS ABDB through Zizi managed to scored the winning goal to make in 3-2. Good luck to all four teams in the semi final.

Last night we also announced that four players and three managements will go to Kuala Lumpur for special training as been promised by the Manager. Azwan was confirmed and the others waiting for SMS voting. See me at the airport hehhehehe.

Radzi, Akeem, Shah, Sufian @ Tupai, Abang, Azwan. Arrifin, Arif @ Ucing, Samra, Hafiz, Sumbat.

FA CUP QF - JFC vs MS ABDB

Oppppppsss it's the defending champion, second in the league, well trained, well organised, and just finished their major exercise recently. MS ABDB, our opponent in the Quarter Final of DST FA Cup 2010. Previous result in the league was all square, but this time it will be different knowing that we are not prepared that well and MS ABDB have their own die hard reason to be till the final stage.

Like a speech we always hear, the ball is round and anything could happen. With the experience and youngster in the team, I believed we can do it.

JFC 2 - 0 LUN BAWANG

With teamwork and determination, JFC managed to went through to FA cup Quarter Final 2010. JFC failed to break the deadlock in the first half where there's a lot of clear chances which failed to be utilised. After deep in the heart half time dressing room talk by Coach Zul, we managed to keep the same tempo in the second half. At last, JFC capitan managed to break the deadlock from freekick at the edge of the box. This his his third try after numbers of oppoturnity. Azwan seal the domination after scoring the second from tremendous effort of Arrifin from the right when he managed to sent a backward cross cooly converted by Awzan. JFC 2 - 0 Lun Bawang.
