EVENTS REPORT
Most of you had read about UKRC 9 ‘s International Veteran Soccer Tournament by our FRAS coach Mr Lutfi. I would name this players as “DIRTY DOZEN”. Not say they played was dirty but showed enthusiasm and emotion. I wish not elaborate further on the topic as much had been said about them.
However there were few who equally played a important role, Mr Rosli Omar assistant Coach from the side line, Mr Nasir Kamsir , stand in physio to do the ‘ rub rub’ on the injured players .Made sure that they battle on despite injuries. Mr Ravi who was left out of the team because of work commitment, arrived late just to give a support to the team members. They too were enthused.
UKRC 9’S VETERAN SOCCER
Please read Mr Lutfi reports.
This was not mention in the report, which I like to give pat on Mr Lutfi’s back for making a very wise decision. In spite of six players injured, there was some persuasion from the team to fill 3 under 40 players just to replace them, as what other team were doing. The coach stood firm as not to let the Association name to be tarnished, said he will battle on what ever players he have, but not to fill in under 40 players. MC wishes to salute him. Well done.
FRIENDLY SOCCER MATCH- DISAPPOINTED
We should have cancelled this match. Reason been from 12 players registered for the match six of them withdrew from the trip at the eleventh hour. As we had promised our members if they don’t play in the tournament at least get a chance to play the friendly match with Beluga FC.
On arrival at the venue, the FRAS players saw no wash room, pitch twice as big as the size of Farrer Park field. Half of the opponents were youngsters. We only had five players.
The match had to go on. This how we did it, four players from the UKRC volunteered to make up.Did you ever heard FRAS had a lady player previously, one lady stood in the team that day. Can find out who the lady was . Mr Khairudin two sons also joined to play.
Mr Hanizam changed in full gear and was so eager to play, changed his mind not to play. At the final whistle FRAS lost 5 -1 to the opponents.
DINNER HOSTED BY UKRC
Later in the night most of our FRAS MC attended a sumptuous dinner held at the Club.
CONCLUSION
Once again the Events Managers and the FRAS MC would like to thanks the DIRTY DOZEN for superb show of sportsmanship and so much enthusiasm in this tournament, even though they did not win trophy but won many Asean Friends. Wish more better players would come forward to participate in regional tournaments .I will strongly recommend and participate for such tournaments.
Also thanks the WAGs and the supporters, their presence also gave their boast to the teams.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In future if we have similar situation like this we will cancel the friendly match as not to over tax the tournament players. Members pulling out at last moment, is not healthy. Imagine what would had happen if there was a serious injuries. Members have to think very carefully whether am I really committed in any thing I do. As what the DIRTY DOZEN just did it.
