Hemaviton Mini Tournament, Sports Planet Shah Alam, 16th December 2009


The original plan was for Tok Jinjang FC to enter this tourney but we couldn't get a squad ready. Since I've already made up my mind about entering it, I contacted some fellow Gooners to see whether we could come up with a decent squad. Khai brought Arif and 2 other Goons who I've never met.


This was not AFCSM's team of course, but we were still all Gooners, so when the organizer called and asked for the team name, I said Abou Diaby. They wrote it as Abu Diabi.

A total of 10 teams took part, divided into 2 groups of 5. Group champs meet in the final.

Unfortunately, only 1 pitch was used for our category, so it was past 1 am when we finished our last group game.

Great crowd




Lace Up, Save Lives

Our results?

Won the first game 3-0.
Drew the 2nd game 0-0.
Lost the 3rd game to the eventual group champions 0-1. A punk waved his fist at Mukhlis after they battled for the ball.
Drew the 4th game 1-1. Mukhlis was yellow-carded. I thought that was a wrong decision.


Special mention for Khai, who conceded only 2 goals and several great saves. It was overall great fun. Thanks guys! We'll give it another go next time.

Other than the scheduling, everything else was all right, I guess. 2 referees officiated each game and they were definitely top class.
