UKRC Football Academy vs PKNS Football Academy - Football Friendly Matches

UKRC U8, U10 & U12 teams played a series of friendly matches against their similar age group of boys from the PKNS Football Academy at PKNS Sports Club field in Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya last Sunday 22nd November 2009.

The event had a good turnout of parents from both the academies, accompanying their kids to the game and giving moral as well as vocal support to their kids during the game. The weather was good for field soccer but we had some very, very light drizzle (macam snow tak menjadi) every now and then. The match started at 9 am and the final game ended at 12 noon.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the morning and some just could not get enough playing the game. Some were seen begging their coaches to be fielded. The boys are already looking forward to play the next game which will be the RSC age group tournament to be held on 12th Dec 2009 at RSC field in Bukit Kiara and the PKNS age group annual tournament to be held the next day at PKNS Sports Club.

Sunday morning Futsal

Pagi tadi, Sunday 15/11/09 9am, 14 of us had a good futsal session at Ampang Sports Planet. We had a good 1 hour workout on the FIFA standard size futsal court (much bigger than "Wembley") and play was at times fast and furious. I was sweating profusely. It took me quite awhile getting used to the futsal court surface ...... bola rolls much faster than on grass and you can't kick a high ball unless you lift the ball up with your toes. Well, the score line was like .... 13 goals to 9. Ravin and Mohammad can't get enough .... dia orang nak main sampai 2 jam. Actually they came late, almost half an hour after we started at 9am. The team players planned to have the futsal session as often as we can given the current situation of "Wembley" in the months of Nov and Dec. The least pun we plan to play once a month. I sempat ambil 2 gambar saja before the battery ran out. Besides me, the following are the players who played this morning:

1. Amir
2. Ammar
3. Azmi
4. Christian
5. Jinggo
6. Karuna
7. Krishnan
8. Meizi
9. Mohammed
10. Mohd Shah
11. Nik Aziz
12. Ravin
13. Abdul Saheed

Match Report - UKRV vs KPJ APH

UKRV had a good game yesterday evening, 8th November 2009 and we had a good turnout of players too. Initially I thought we'll face the same problem we had playing against MBPJ when several players could not make it to the game for health reasons and other last minute turn of events that caused them to be unavailable for the match that night. But I was relieved when UKRV players started to trickle in after 5 pm. As usual, Christian was the first to arrive. He was already there at 4.30pm. Me and Garrett tiba pukul 4.50pm and soon after the rest. Our opponent, Kumpulan Perubatan Johor Ampang Putri Hospital (KPJ APH), also arrived late and by 5.30pm they had only 9 players. They managed to get a complete team just before the match started, while the others arrived after the game started.

We played on the same field we played against Maybank Vet. However this time around, the field was set-up with a rugby goalpost. Fortunately with Azhar's initiative, we had all the players to help replace the rugby goalpost with the football goal post on both ends of the field before the start of the game.

The game kick-off at 5.45pm and due to the lack of time, we only managed to complete 2 halves of play in 80 minutes with a ten minute break. The referee blew the final whistle at 7pm as soon as the Azan was heard from the nearby mosque.

Play was fast and furious in the 1st ten minutes and mostly concentrated on the left flank and the middle of the park. I could say that we had about 60% possession of the ball but could have had more goals scored in the second half if we had converted the opportunities presented to us on at least 3 or 4 occasion. Yes, Krish missed converting a penalty for the second time in his "profeesional" career with UKRV. Next time kena suruh dia pumping 20 kali depan goal post. "Dia orang sudah "bomoh" pintu gol-lah bang!" says Krish when asked why he missed the penalty ........... we had a good laugh (see some photos (lepas saya uploaded nanti) on the other two goals he missed, satu sebelah kiri and the other one sebelah kanan).

Shah gave us the lead after 10 minutes of play with a nice lob of the ball into the right hand corner of the opponents goal post after receiving a beautiful pass from Amin. On the 15th minute of play Shah returned Amin's favour and Amin scored through a well struck ball into the goal leaving the goalkeeper wondering where the ball went.

We seems to have relaxed a bit and slowed the paced of the game after scoring the two goals. KPJ APH players took advantage of the situation and launched several penetrating attack from the left and right flanks. Our central defender Hafiz, left back Meizi and Shariff "Roberto Carlos" managed to keep them at bay. However we weren't able to keep up with the pace of the attack .... nampak "injin dah mula berasap" (macam kereta F1 before the injin meletup ... keluar asap biru). Pusing punya pusing, Shariff terlepas bola and the opponent took advantage of the situation to score their first and only goal of the match.

After the break, we had an almost complete change of players with Garrett marshalling the defense back four, Krish and Nik providing the firepower up front with Ali and Raja on the left and right flanks. We had Bab playing in the middle of the field. The second set of players played very well and Nik Aziz kept a clean sheet in the second half making a couple of good saves, thus denying the strikers of the opposing team from scoring. He clearly frustrated them with some fine good saves of the ball on the goal line. We made some changes towards the end of the second half with Adzrin coming in for Jinggo and Azrul Kenit replacing Ammar. Azrul was presented with a goal scoring opportunity a couple of minutes after coming in and he added his name to the scoring list.

It was evident from this game that we were able to play against a much younger opponents, given that there are enough players for substitution, say between 17 to 19 players with the key players forming the backbone of the team. Tapi we have to be cautious too; not to run ourselves to the ground. Ingat tu, especially those that have crossed 40 and have not gone for a yearly complete check-up yet. We need to know our limits too. Let's enjoy the game.

You guys have to wait for the photos to be uploaded as I can only get them from Bab this weekend. Itu pun kalau dia tak lupa download the photos on a thumb drive for me. Sekali lagi, thank you to all the players who managed to turn up for the game. The following are the list of players who managed to play yesterday:

4. Amin
