Congratulations to both of our Team K12 and Team K14 for their participation in the recent Piala Datuk Bandar 2011. Although we did not win the title, we must be proud of our achievement as we fielded our very own home-grown players. It irks me very much that even for age group tournaments such as this one, there are some teams which would rather aim for status and ego-fulfilling achievements by "using" players from all over. It defeats the purpose of football development whereby we are supposed to provide opportunities for players to grow and learn. There will be some people who will say that I am a sore loser but the fact remains that in football development, winning must be made a secondary objective.
Congratulations also to our Derick Tsai who won the Bronze Star Award for being the 3rd best player in the tournament. This award was judged based on accumulative points given by coaches and match officials after every match so Derick won this based of merit and not favouritism from the Organisers of which I was the Tournament Director.
