Match Result - UKRV vs Purple Rose

After losing 6 and drawing 1 in the last 7 games we had played, UKRV finally got back to winning form yesterday, playing against Purple Rose. The match was played at UKRC field in Kuala Ampang and UKRV managed to secure a victory with 2 goals to 1 score line. Thank you Ravin for scoring the 2 goals for the team. Players turn-out was not that good. We had only 13 regulars for the game yesterday. Hope to see the rest of the players in the next game.

For the players information, UKRV received an invitation to participate in Brunei 7's International Veteran Tournament scheduled for 4th & 5th December 2010. So far the feedback from the players has been -ve except for 1. I guess UKRV won't be participating this time around.

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.

Match Result - UKRV vs ASTAKA FC

UKRV played its 13th friendly match of the 2010/2011 season against ASTAKA FC at Japanese School in Subang Saujana Linatex this afternoon. The matched kicked off at 5.3pm. 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.

There are no photos to be uploaded at the moment. I will need to find out whether MatBab managed to snap any photos of UKRV players in action. Till then we need to put in some practise at "Wembley" before facing another formidable opponent on 10th July at Linatex.

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.
