CHAMPIONS OF YAYASAN SARAWAK FOOTBALL CLUB ACADEMY INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT

Our Team K12 emerged Champions of an invitational tournament organised by Yayasan Sarawak at the launching of Yayasan Sarawak Football Club Academy on 27 March 2011. In the preliminary round, we drew 0-0 with Yayasan Sarawak A, drew 0-0 with SK Madrasah and won 1-0 against SK Bandar Baru Samariang. In the semi-final, we blanked Akademi Sadong Jaya 4-0. In the final, we beat Yayasan Sarawak A 4-3 on penalties.

Although it was reported in a local daily that K12 "bernasib baik" winning the tournament, I beg to differ and say luck had nothing to do with it. It was hard work, focus and determination on our K12 part. And allow me to add that we managed to achieve this feat despite having 2 of our key players "pinched" by another team at the last minute!!

Well done to our players and Coach Rosli and Coach Saiful. This was no easy feat considering it was played at Yayasan Sarawak's ground and there were tons of their supporters at the field!

K2015 LOST AGAIN BUT .....................

Our K2015 lost 1-2 against Sadong Jaya last Sunday in Serian.

Despite the loss, there were many positives that came out of the game and I believe we can only get better with the matches to come. Never forget the fact that we are playing in this tournament for exposure; definitely we would like to win (who doesn't, right?!?) but that is secondary. We have a 6-year program for our boys and this is part of the training program. Our coaches are more focused on the performance our U15 players in K2015 than the team in general. We are monitoring the progress of the boys from match-to-match so that mistakes they make are rectified before the next match. This is the only way to effectively learn to play better....they must make mistakes to learn!

K2015 will have the next 2 weeks off. Will keep you updated.
