MIRI: Miri football team were urged to play their best in the Sarawak Cup 2010 football tournament which will be held in Kuching starting today until Oct 24.

“Do not take this matter lightly, instead take the game seriously,” said vice president of Sarawak Football Association cum Miri team manager, Sazali Abdul Rahman.

He reminded the players not to waste their efforts of training for two months and hoped the team would go far in the tournament.

Meanwhile, according to manager of Fatimah Bersatu Sdn Bhd, Mahdi Abdul Rahman, the team must improve their development and performance.

“I hope this effort would bring good results and allow another company to develop this sport,” he said when handing over the sponsorship to the Miri football team for the tournament at Park City Everly Hotel, here, yesterday.

Led by their captain, Mohd Fadly Kassim, the players who on average are 18-years have- been given high expectations to win the tournament.

KUCHING: Many football fans, especially those in the Peninsula, think they know a lot about Awang Mahyan Awang Muhammad, the coach synonymous with the war-cry Ngap Sayot.

Or the coach who bravel y jumped into the Sarawak River when Sarawak famously qualified for their first Malaysia Cup semifinal back in the 80s.

But Awang is more than the coach wrongly associated with robust tactics, as many opposing teams had claimed when they were defeated by Sarawak then.

The man, who is now more involved with lawn bowls and cricket (he’s the president of both the sports’ state bodies) and taking care of Sarawak referees, is a sophisticated character when it comes to football.

Awang, during a chat while he was watching the Kuching under- 14 cricket final between SMK Bandar Kuching 2 and SMK Muara Tuang last week, was refreshingly open and thoughtful when probed on football matters and coaching.

MY HONEST OPINION: SFFC mesti berubah

Dalam tempoh terdekat ini kita telah melihat perubahan demi perubahan berlaku dalam 'dunia' bolasepak Sarawak.

Kini kita telah mendapat seorang presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak (FAS) baru yang berwibawa Datu Sudarsono Osman.

Dan kita juga telah melihat FAS mengambil inisiatif untuk memulakan 'kehidupan' baru bolasepak dengan mendekati Persatuan Pengadil Bolasepak Sarawak (Safra) yang diketuai oleh pencipta Ngap Sayot Awang Mahyan Awang Mohamed.

Jahar: Sarawak suntuk penjaga gol berwibawa

KUCHING: Dalam sejarah bola sepak Sarawak, tiada seorang pun penjaga gol yang menyarung pasukan negeri benar-benar dianggap berwibawa justeru mampu memantapkan benteng terakhir pasukan.

Program pembangunan bola sepak perlu ambil kira keperluan ini

Sarawak meniti era gemilang (1980-an) dalam dunia bola sepak tatkala pasukan Ngap Sayot di bawah bimbingan jurulatih tempatan, Awang Mahyan Awang Mohamad mampu meletakkan pasukan kita sebaris dengan pasukan terbaik di persada bola sepak tanahair.

Kejayaan Ngap Sayot beraksi dalam Piala Malaysia merupakan satu pencapaian cemerlang buat pasukan negeri yang ketika itu dibintangi ramai pemain berkaliber termasuk penjaga gol, Affendi Jol.

Foreign imports to make comeback in 2012

Borneo Post - Posted on October 1, 2010, Friday

SHAH ALAM: Foreign players who were barred from playing in the M-League, are expected to make a comeback in 2012 but certainly not in 2011 said the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).

The FAM competition committee will propose to the FAM Executive Council that the ban remain for the 2011 season.

Competition committee chairman Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin said the decision was made although all the affiliates of FAM had unanimously agreed that the presence of imported players would inject excitement and enhance the M-League.
