2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 3 Report

2007 Malaysia Alumni League
Matchday 3 (VIOBA vs. SEMSAH)

Our Matchday 3 opponents, SEMSAH forfeited the match which was supposed to be played on Sunday, 3 June 2007 at VI. As a result, VIOBA was declared the winner by the scoreline of 3-0. As things stand, we are now ranked second in the league table with 7 points from 3 games and are separated from the league leader, MCOBA, only by virtue of goal difference.

On the day, a friendly game was played instead and a mixture of Old Boys provided the opposition for the VIOBA team. Even though the game was played in the rain and a very wet pitch, both sides still showed very competitive spirit. The game ended 3-3.
