Match Result - UKRV vs Sanderland

UKRV played its 14th friendly match of the 2010/2011 season against Sanderland (Kg Pasir) at Linatex football field this afternoon. UKRV lost the match by 3 goals to 1.

UKRV scored through Karuna early in the 1st half. Score was even at 1 all in the second half before our opponent secured the match with 2 goals in the 3rd half. I was informed that we played against youngsters and they were good. They really piled on the pressure in the 3rd half. We did not have the service of our regular goalkeeper. Black was the goal custodian in the 1st half before Karu took over the position in the 2nd and 3rd half of the match. UKRV was again playing without the service of our top scorer Amin (Amin apologised, he had a long siesta ...)

With this latest result, UKRV have lost the last 4 friendly games. It's some sort of a record for UKRV. Come on guys, lets win the next one before we take a break during Ramadhan.

Match Result - UKRV vs KL Vikings

UKRV played its 14th friendly match of the 2010/2011 season against KL Vikings at Linatex football field on last Saturday afternoon (10th July 2010). UKRV lost the match by 4 goals to 2.

KL Vikings scored early in the 1st half before Karu level things up for UKRV. KL Vikings pulled ahead with another goal before the end of the 1st half. The start of the second half saw UKRV fielding a fresh new eleven team players (except for Fairus, the Goalkeeper)to give opportunities to the players that have not played earlier.



UKRV managed to level the score to 2-2 with a goal contributed by our 16 years old son, Farid. The score stood at 2 all till the end of the 2nd half. However in the 3rd half, KL Vikings piled on the pressure and was rewarded with two goals to end the game at 4 goals to 2 in their favour.

Initially, we did not expect a good turnout of players for this game because only seven players confirmed their availability for this game. Upon Black & Radzmi's initiatives, they invited 4 players from the U16 squad to join the veterans. As it turned out, many of the players who did not confirm came to play, so dah terlebih sangat players ( ..... Murti & Karu ended up playing for opposing side in the 3rd half) . So its vital that all UKRV players take responsibility in responding to SMS sent out by the Manager so that the team officials can appropriately plan for the game. An "OK" message is all it takes to confirm. Kalau susah sangat, sending a "K" message pun boleh di terima sebagai confirmation.

UKRV lost the match 6 goals to nil, the biggest lost so far since the formation of UKRV. Ada beberapa sebab kenapa kita kalah, tapi yang nyata kita tidak cohesive and bermain sebagai satu pasukan yang mantap.

Most of our players had a long day at the Kraftangan Templer Park football field from 10am till the U12 match finished at 5pm and then had to rush to Subang to play in the friendly. The score was 4 nil in the first half. No goals were scored in the second half but UKRV conceded another 2 goals in the 3rd half of the match.

Match Result

UKRV played its 9th friendly match of the 2010/2011 season against Komuniti Masyarakat Seksyen 23 Shah Alam yesterday evening at Shah Alam Mini Stadium. Despite the low turn-out of players (only 14 players), UKRV still managed to win this game 4 goals to 3. Nor Amin scored a hattrick and Shah added another goal to the score sheet.

Match Result - UKRV vs UTM UNIKES

Yes, we won the friendly match against UTM UNIKES today. The score at the end of the match was 6 goals to 3 in favour of UKRV. This is the 1st time in UKRV's history that saw six different players scoring for the side in the same match. This goes to show that UKRV players has what it takes to score goals. It was a good game for UKRV, especially in the 3rd half of the match. Syabas to everybody that played this evening. There was a good turn-out of players for this match. Team Manager pun tak perlu bersusah payah kena turun padang ...... bagi instructions tepi padang aje (well, that is what a Team Manager suppose to do anyway).

UKRV kicked-off the match very lethargically though; it was probably due to this morning UKRC kids football tournament when almost all of UKRV football players were involved as parents supporting their kids during the tournament which was played from 8.30 am and ended at 1.30pm after the prize giving ceremony. After the long hours in the sun, where temperature reached as high as 39 degrees C at high noon, most of us were quite exhausted. Our opponent took advantage of this and scored two goals in the 1st half of the match, one was a result of an off-side trap that did not work out.

In the second half, UKRV played with a different set of players. We still did not find our usual rhythm of play. We were relying too much on long passes and through balls. It took Amin to come on the field in the second half to score the opening goal for UKRV. After UKRV's goal response, UTM UNIKES scored another goal yet again, this time with a good blast from outside the penalty area giving UKRV's keeper little chance at saving the shot. The game ended with a 3 goal to 1 scoreline in the second half.

UKRV finally played real football in the 3rd half. OM who was captaining the side re-organised the players and their playing positions. This has quite an effect on the rhythm of play and the UKRV players showed their mettle. With the defense well organised and marshaled by OM and the midfield engine working well and with the forwards and flankers taking shots at goal, it was only time that UKRV would score their next goal. The players made beautiful short passes, progressively bringing the ball from their own half to the opponent's half in their attack. They had about 80% possession of the ball in the 3rd half of the match.

The goal did finally come, from a Nik's beautifully taken right in-swinger that caught the opposing team goalkeeper off-guard. The goal keeper was actually off his line and the ball dipped beautifully into the left corner of the goal post. UKRV then started to put on more pressure on the opposing side to try to level the score.



UKRV's 3rd goal, which was also the equalizer, came from an unlikely source, yes from Azmi "Score A - Kelate" Jusoh. He pounced on a loose ball and in "a yet again one-on-one with the goalkeeper", he scored. Finally!. Azmi has not been playing since the beginning of the season and its good to see him come on the team and start scoring goals.

Azrul Kenit scored UKRV's 4th goal from a penalty kick after UNIKES's defender handled the ball in the penalty area. Shah added the fifth goal and Ali Hanafiah scored in the dying minutes of the 3rd half when he pounced on a loose ball in the penalty area bring the final score of the match to 6 goals to 3 in UKRV's favour.



I really enjoyed watching the match in the 3rd half. UKRV players really played some very good football, moving and making short passes of the ball, no more long passes and through balls that requires a Usain Bolt sprint just to get to the ball. They made use of the spaces available and played wide using both the left and right flanks. UKRV was quite compact in the middle with the defenders and midfield players supporting and communicating each other very well. In short, everybody wanted to play football as a TEAM and win the match for UKRV. I hope this passion will continue for the rest of the season and win many more matches for UKRV. Bravo UKRV!.

Kerana terlampau asyik tenguk engkau orang main, saya tak menjalankan tugas dengan sempurna. Di tambahkan pula dengan cuaca yang tak menentu, kali ni tak banyak gambar.Permainan dimasa 3rd half, cuaca dah gelap ...... sorry footballers ....go here to view the photos taken during the match .... http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallahudinar/sets/72157623946920389/

UKRV vs Cheerful

Ada correction on the scorer list for the UKRV vs Cheerful. An anonymous reader has commented that Amin scored the 1st and 3rd goal, while Azrul scored the 2nd goal. I would assume this to be correct (some committee members I spoke to weren't sure who had scored) and make the necessary correction on the top scorer table.

Match Result - UKRV vs Jollylads

Sorry Black, hanya satu kemenangan hari ini ............... UKRCU12 vs Kiddo Kickers pagi tadi di dataran MBPJ. Yang lain semuanya kalah, seperti the friendly match dengan Jollylads. Yes! we were beaten 5 goals to 1, with Amin scoring UKRV's solitary goal in the 3rd half of the match. Our opponents were good petang tadi and they played well as a team. I felt sorry for our defense, some of them had to really worked overtime petang tadi. We did not move the ball well and we frequently lost it after 2 to 3 passes. We seems lost most of the time. Some tried playing solo, tapi ...... Long range passes did not worked and the short passes were not on target.




Rasanya macam sudah lama kita tak practise Sunday morning di "Wembley". Next week you guys ada 7 a-side tourney. Need to work on the fitness. Main tengah hari pulak tu!

Match Result - UKRV vs Cochrane Hunters

Bravo ! we had a good turnout of players, all of whom were very eager to play today. Captain Fauzi must have had a tough time deciding on who to play in all the halves & how long they should remain on the pitch. We could have easily made 2 teams and a lot of us would still be in the reserves. But as usual, we seems to be able to have all the players present play a part in our 5 goals to 1 victory today.



Congratulation to all the players for the good and fine display of football in all the 3 halves. We enjoyed a 2 goal lead in the first half with Amin and Shah contributing the goals.

We had to play in defense most of the time during the second half as our midfield and forward weren't firing on all cylinders. But we ensured a comfortable lead of 5 nil in the third half through goals from Amin & Shah again, while Sharin added the fifth goal from the penalty spot after a foul was committed by the opposing side in the penalty box. The visitors however managed to score their solitary goal as a result of a misunderstanding of our back line.



The game was played in heavy rain during the first half. When the rain finally stopped in the second half, the pitch was already very wet and slippery making ball control a very difficult task. Faizul, our keeper made some fine saves to keep our opponents at bay. There were some untimely hard tackle seen on the pitch today, but I must congratulate our players for keeping their cool.

Syabas to all the players and stay fit for the next game on 18th April 2010 against "Virtous Valley" ...............

Photos - DBKL SoccerKids Inaugural Tournament

UKRC U9 & U8 boys and girls team played in DBKL Soccerkids inaugural tournament held at Kuala Lumpur Stadium in Cheras in a 2 days tournament played on 27th & 28th March 2010.

Both teams managed to qualify for the quarter finals after playing a three matches round robin group format in the 1st round on the 1st day. However both teams lost their quarter final matches. The U9 team led by Irfan lost to MBPJ 2 goals to 1 and the U8 team led by Yadi played very well in defense to deny Little League an avalanche of goals by losing 2 goals to nil.

The matches were played 5 aside on an international futsal pitch size (grass pitch). Futsal rules were enforced during the matches, which I might add were not made known to the young kids. Thus mistakes were made that could have an opposite effect on the result of the matches played during the tournament if the kids only knew the rules.

Match Result - UKRV vs FC Happy Hours

P/S Sorry tak dapat ambil group photo kerana keadaan cuaca tidak mengizinkan

UKRV 2nd friendly game of the 2010/2011 season was played this evening in wet condition at UKRC football field in Kuala Ampang. The team led by its captain Fauzi, managed to hold its opponent, FC Happy Hours to a 3 all draw with goals scored by Shah (1 goal) in the second half of the match and Amin (2 goals) in the third half of the game.

UKRV had a low turn-out of players when the match kicked-off at 5.45pm. Only 14 players were available for Fauzi to pick his 1st eleven for the 1st half. As the match progressed, a couple of players turned-up to increase the number of available players to 16.

The match was played in a drizzling and rainy conditions. UKRV started the match on the wrong foot ..... FC Happy Hours took the lead in the very first minute of the game through a well taken kick at goal from just outside the left corner of the penalty box and floated high just below the goal post bar and out of reach of Faizul, our goalkeeper.

The score increased to 2 goals in FC Happy Hours favour which was caused by a defensive error of UKRV's back line. In attempting to clear the ball out of the danger area, a missed kick resulted in the ball going into their own net.

Several changes were made to the squad that played in the second half, with some players that played in the first half were rested. Shah, our striker managed to reduce the goal deficit to 1 when he scored a goal for UKRV from a through pass he received down the right side of the field. Shah managed to overcome the opposing goalkeeper who had come rushing out his goal mouth in an attempt to closed down the angle available to Shah to place his ball into the goal mouth. The score remained at 2-1 at the end of the second half in favour of FC Happy Hours.

Fortunately for us Amin managed to wake-up from his afternoon siesta and was able to make his way to UKRC field just in time to play in the 3rd half. With Amin's presence, UKRV was able to equalise the score at 2-2. However FC Happy Hours were able to once again score through a high floating ball into the right hand corner of UKRV's goal mouth which was out of reach of our keeper Faizul. Amin once again had the opportunity to blast in his second goal to ensure that UKRV at least manage a draw for it's second game of the season.

Overall, UKRV played very well in the 3rd half of the match, where the presence of several key players made the difference upfront and the back line was pretty solid. Once again we did not have good support in midfield and we did not have players playing the wings.

MATCH RESULT - UKRV vs FELDA Engineering

UKRV 1st game for the 2010/2011 season friendlies ended with UKRV on the losing end. UKRV lost to FELDA Engineering 3 goals to 1. Our opponents were clearly not "veterans" and our lads played well to hold them at a 1 all score line for the 1st 2 halves of the match.

However, we gave away 2 goals in the final 3rd half due to a drop in our players'concentration and the diminishing energy levels of our veterans. Nampaknya kita kena tukar ke engine "fuel injection". However I would congratulate our player for a job well done although our team could have been more competitive if some of our key players were playing yesterday evening. Amin, our last season top scorer, opened his account for the 2010/2011 season by scoring UKRV's solitary goal in the second half of the game.

Here is the link to the photos taken by Bab's son during the match with Felda Engineering. There only a limited number of photos taken that day ......... http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallahudinar/sets/72157623546762099/

Till then, we need to gear up and ready for our second game on Sunday 21st March 2007 at UKRC.

Match Result - UKRV vs Melawati FC

UKRV 19th and last friendly match of the 2009/2010 season against Melawati FC played this evening at DBKL Field in Wangsa Maju Section 4 ended in a 2 nil defeat for UKRV. Our opponent played well and deserve to win the match. UKRV on the other hand had ample opportunities to score at least 3 goals in the 2nd and 3rd half of the game but the forward could not convert the opportunities into goals and had to settle for a goal drought this time around.


Notice the difference in the color of the hair of the 2 players in green as compared to the one in red jersey.

Anyway, thank you to all the players that turned up to play this evening even though it rained heavily before the kick-off, thank you for your support to the team. 25 players played for UKRV. Most of you made it in time for the delayed kick-off at 5.50pm. Team captain Fauzi also took the trouble to turned up to play even though he had to fly to Seoul later tonight. sempat juga dia main one half.

MATCH RESULT

Syabas & Congratulation to Captain Fauzi & OM for the brilliant & gritty performance to overcome our opponents from KKM and win by a comfortable margin of 6 goals to 3.



We led 2 nil in the 1st half with two goals from Shah, which brought his goal tally to thirteen for the season. The 1st goal came early in the first half when Shah picked-up a through pass from OM down the middle of the field and the other amidst some confusion in the opponents defense. We were very much in control of the game in the 1st half and play was very much concentrated in the opponent's half of the field. Our defense were marshaled by OM & Nik, while Azhar dictated play in the middle of the field. Shah and Azmi provided the fire power up front. The game ended with UKRV leading 2 goals to nil.

A new sets of 11 players came in to play in the 2nd half led by Captain Fauzi. KKM made some changes to their line-up too with the addition of some fast running young players to their team. KKM came back strongly and they were very much in control of the game in the second half launching attack after attacked which led them to score 3 goals in the second half. The first was a result of a free kick from just outside UKRV's penalty box. The free-kick was very well taken and the ball floated pass the defensive wall and into the right-hand corner of the goal post.

The equalizer resulted in KKM playing more cohesively as a team and made our defense worked overtime to breakdown their attack. They soon equalised through a series of well mounted attacks which left of defense in disarray. KKM then scored their third goal which gave them a well deserved 3 - 2 lead. The goal was a result of an individual effort; the player made a run from about 30 yards, dribbling past a couple of UKRV players before blasting the ball into the goal mouth.

Meanwhile UKRV could not make any headway in the middle of the park with Karuna having to play very much on his own due to lack of support. Upfront, UKRV's forward were always caught in off-side positions as KKM pushed their defense line up to the halfway line. UKRV should have used the flanks, but unfortunately did not. Azmi Kelate would have made the difference upfront with his fast running down the flanks, especially if he can control the ball. With KKM goalkeeper having this habit of getting off his line often, we should have scored enough goals from lobs from 20 to 30 yards. Azrul made proved this point when he scored the equalizer when UKRV was down 3 goals to 2. He brought the ball from the half way line and worked the left flank and struck the ball high from about 20 yards to beat the goalkeeper who was well out of his line then.



UKRV had their best team playing in the third half and were very much in control of the game. Nik Aziz gave us the lead early in the 3rd half before Amin, who only came in in the last 15 minutes of the game settled the score at 6 - 3 with 2 brilliantly taken goals. One was a result of one-to-one situation with the goalkeeper as a result of a through ball be Azhar down the middle of the field and the other a header

UKRV played well and made amends when they were a goal down. Even though the players do not get to play that often together, the players proved that experience do matters. Once again we had a very good turn-out of players, 23 in all and everybody had a chance to play, at least for 25 minutes. Thank you for all your support to the team. We will try to arrange another game before the Chinese New Year.

Match Result - UKRV vs UNIKES UTM

Syukur alhamudillah, it did not rain yesterday when we played away against UNIKES UTM at their field in Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur. Oleh yang demikian, kita dapat bermain tiga half didalam keadaan relatively dry conditions walaupun ada area of the field yang "lembut" tapi very playable.

Syabas kepada pemain yang telah turun padang dan beraksi untuk UKRV hari ini. We had a couple of new parents playing for the first time for UKRV. The team memperolehi kemenangan yang membanggakan dengan jaringan 6 gol berbalas 3. The goals were scored by Nor Amin (2), Kubad (1), Azhar (1) in the second half of the match and the other two goals were scored by Ali and Karuna in the 3rd half. However, there were at least 3 to 4 clear chances at goal that we had that should have been converted into goals for the team.


Nor Amin scoring his 16th goal for UKRV

The match saw the opposing team lost 2 players due to injury; one dislocated his elbow when he fell awkwardly after executing a tackle and the other suffered a hamstring injury after he attempted to head the ball a from a cross made by his team mate.

Unlike in the beginning of the season, our players have not been experiencing hamstring injury, muscle pull or tear or the dreaded torn ligaments lately. Even Garrett seems to have recovered from his nagging back injury and played well today.

In today's match, we were up against mostly youngsters. In the first half we were clearly unsettled. This could be due to the fact that we were playing with a new combination of players for the first time. Play was well balanced with both side attacking and defending. However our defense was quite susceptible and several times they were caught on the wrong foot. However the players managed to gel together towards the end of the 1st half and held the opposing team to a goalless draw.


Azhar blasting in his 4th goal of the season for UKRV

Fauzi, our Captain deployed an entirely new set of players in the second half. We finally broke the goal deadlocked 5 minutes into the second half with a header scored by Nor Amin from a cross by Azhar from the right flank before Kubad scored on his debut for UKRV the 5 minutes later.

UNIKES scored an equaliser a few minutes after we scored our second goal. An attempt at goal by their left flanker rebounded from our goalkeeper Abdah and their forward latched onto the rebound to score their first goal.

Azhar added another goal for our team from a well placed kick to the right hand side corner of the goal mouth. It was his 4th goal of the season. Thereafter Amin scored the fourth goal. Our forwards than took a breather from launching attacks into the opposing half. UNIKES took this opportunity to score their second and third goal. Our defense were caught square at the back this time around. Their relatively younger and faster forwards were able to twist and turn around our defense to score their second goal and third goal before we tighten our back-line. The match ended 4-3 in the second half.


Kubad about to score his first goal for UKRV on his debut.

The players who played in the 1st half kicked-off the match in the 3rd half. This time around they played with a better understanding of each other movement and holding the ball well and we were able to increase our goal tally with goals from Ali & Karuna. Midway through the 3rd half, the players were replaced by the team that played in the second half before the referee finally blew the whistle at 7.15pm to end the match.

We had a good turnout of 25 players turning up to play for the team today. Saya rasa ada players yang tak berapa puas bermain. Apakan daya, cuma ada 1 1/2 hours of play time. Maybe we need to organise more games so that our players dapat bermain dengan sepuas-puasnya. I will try to organise another 4 friendly matches before my term as the Team Manager ends at the end of February 2010.


Karu heading the ball into the goal mouth

Till the next game, stay healthy and enjoy the photos (sorry, some photos are blur .... I am still learning how to shoot sharp & clear images)at the following link:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallahudinar/sets/72157623056118453/

I hope ada gambar saudara yang beraksi hari itu dalam album ni (at least 1). Kalau tak ada gambar saudara langsung, saya minta ma'af. Saudara boleh buat protest kepada saya & saya akan cuba "tangkap" gambar anda sebanyak mungkin during the next game.

Friendly Game vs UNIKES UTM

So with the addition of Garrett, kesemuanya 20 pemain akan turun padang Sunday ni (looks like the collection from the players would be enough to pay the referee fees and to get some drinking water). Tapi you all kena pray very hard that there would not be a tropical monsoon storm on Saturday, lest the field at UTM becomes unplayable on Sunday.
