SJI vs. VI Friendlies, Gathering of Batch '57 and Union Cup Soft Launch
The 2nd game saw a mixture of Victorians from batches of '96 & '99 vs. St. John '96. The game was also won by the Victorians with the scoreline 4-2 with Ahmad Nazim Ali and Muhammad Nasir Ali scoring 2 of the goals.
These friendlies were jointly organized by VI '96 and St. John '96 to coincide with the soft launch of Union Cup 2007. Union Cup 2007 was mooted by the batch of '96 from both schools as an annual event to bridge the rivalry between the two schools. More details on the event will be posted as soon as it is finalized.
On that Sunday, the batch of '57 also held a gathering at the VIOBA clubhouse and they were more than happy to pose for a picture for VIOBA Events blog.

2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 7 Report
2007 Malaysia Alumni League
Matchday 7 (SJAA vs. VIOBA)
Our last league game of this year against SJAA was played on 5 August 2007 at VI Greens. The game was highly anticipated due to the fact that we were still in contention for the title (being a point behind league leaders, STAROBA), we were defending our unbeaten streak in the league and that it was a derby match against the Johanians.
We had to make a few changes in the starting eleven due to unavailability of some players due to other commitments. It went from bad to worse as the game got under way because it seemed that our players weren't up to speed earlier on and our goal was constantly under siege from the Johanians forwards. Midway through the 1st half, our players settled down and managed to create a few half chances to open the scoring but the half ended 0-0.
The Johanians did manage to grab the lead early on in the 2nd half. The goal came as a result of a failed offside trap which left one of their players on a one-on-one situation with our keeper which he duly converted. A 50-strong crowd (made up of Hostel Boys and Old Boys) cheered our players on to lift their spirit. After a few substitutions, the game started to swing in our favor. Soon after, we earned a corner kick which was taken by Ahmad Fazli Dzulkifli ('96), the beautifully weighted ball made its way to Mohammad Razeen Khalid ('97), a 2nd half substitute, who climbed highest to head the ball in from point blank range. Mohd Farid Hamid ('97) then missed a gilt-edged chance after a solo run from midfield by shooting straight at the keeper. We surged forward to search for a winning goal knowing the league title was on the line but to no avail. The game ended 1-1.
News then filtered through from Bangi that STAROBA had won their encounter with MCOBA 1-0 which made the result from our game academic. We finished as the runner-up in Division One behind STAROBA this year with the record of 4 wins, 3 draws and no losses. In doing so, we have our heads held high as we were the only team to beat STAROBA and became the only unbeaten team in the league this year.

On behalf of the VIOBA Football Team, I would like to thank Mr. Adam Muza Muhayen for sponsoring bottled drinking water for the team this year. I would also like to thank the team captain, Muhammad Irfan Al-Akiti and Syed Shadzly Wafa who are hanging up their boots from representing VIOBA to pave the way for new and up and coming players to represent the team.
Next up is the ANSARA Cup, which starts on 5 August 2007. We were the runner-up in 2005 and hopefully we will bring back the cup this year.

2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 6 Report
2007 Malaysia Alumni LeagueMatchday 6 (STAROBA vs. VIOBA)
The crucial fixture against the formidable STAROBA which would make or break our title aspirations this year was played on 22 July 2007 at Padang ILP, Bangi. This is a team which have won all four of their previous fixtures without conceding any goals. For the Victorians, this was the time to stand up and be counted, to prove their mettle against a quality opposition.
We started the game a bit sluggish, due to the fact that the pitch was quite soggy and maybe the players were a little bit nervous and showing too much respect to the opposition. Eventually, the team settled down and started to stamp their mark on the game. Our first goalscoring chance came when Mohamad Afizal ('98) blasted a freekick against the bar, Briyan Lembang Hashim ('96) followed through on the rebound with an overhead kick but his attempt sailed just over with the STAROBA's keeper stranded. The 1st goal came soon after, a superb interlink play down the right hand side released Mohd Noor Shakher ('00) who sprinted to the touchline before unleashing a dangerous low cross. Briyan Lembang Hashim threw himself but failed to connect properly with his attempted diving header, the ball came off a STAROBA's defender and ended up in the back of the net. Briyan Lembang Hashim did eventually make good on his near misses by scoring the 2nd goal, a cracking shot from outside the penalty box which ended up in the top right hand corner of STAROBA's goal. STAROBA pulled one back from a freekick which was misjudged by our goalkeeper, Muizzuddin Muhamad ('05) who was distracted by an onrushing STAROBA's player. However, we strike back immediately after Briyan Lembang Hashim put Muhammad Irfan Al-Akiti ('94) through, who slotted home with a cool, smart finish. The 1st half ended with the scoreline 1-3 in our favor.
We started the 2nd half with a more defensive setup knowing that we have a two goal cushion. We invited STAROBA to come at us before hitting back swiftly with counter-attacking of our own. We tested the STAROBA's keeper with a few long range efforts which eventually paid off after Wan Khairul Ardrin ('02) hit a scorcher from outside the box to kill off the game. The game finished with the scoreline 1-4 and I have to admit this is our most satisfying victory to date this year.
Our last league game this year will be played on 5 August 2007 (Sunday) and it is a much anticipated derby match against St. John's Institution on our hometurf, VI Greens. We will go into the match with all to play for after MCOBA was beaten by St. John's on matchday 6. As things stand, we are now top of the table with four wins and two draws. The league title will be decided during the last round of matches which will see VIOBA vs. SJAA and STAROBA vs. MCOBA. (Malaysia Alumni Division One League Table)

2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 5 Report
2007 Malaysia Alumni LeagueMatchday 5 (VIOBA vs. ANSARA Kuantan)
On 15 July 2007, we played our 5th league game this year against ANSARA Kuantan on our hometurf. We started the match like a house on fire right from the opening whistle. The frustration stemming from our disappointing result in the last game was quickly cast aside and the team played superb, enterprising football in the 1st half of the game. We ended the half with a 3-0 scoreline in our favor with goals from Mohamad Afizal ('98), Shahrul Nizam ('95) and the team captain, Muhammad Irfan Al-Akiti ('94) (who's celebrating his 30th birthday).
We didn't let up in the 2nd half and were rewarded with another goal early on in the half, with the birthday boy, Muhammad Irfan Al-Akiti adding to his tally. We created a few more chances but failed to capitalize and midway through the 2nd half, our performance started to drop as fatigue sets in. ANSARA Kuantan grabbed a couple of late goals to make the scoreline more respectable from their point of view. A stellar all-round performance with Mohamad Afizal pulling the strings in midfield and Mohd Noor Shakher ('00) making darting runs down the right flank and helped set up two of the goals. But ultimately, the man of the match goes to the captain, Muhammad Irfan Al-Akiti who scored a brace and led the team well in attack.
Our next match is a crucial one against the current league leader, STAROBA on 22 July 2007. The game will be played at Padang ILP, Bangi and we are gunning for a victory to ensure our title hopes for this year stays alive.

2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 4 Report
2007 Malaysia Alumni LeagueMatchday 4 (ANSARA K. Terengganu vs. VIOBA)
On 1 July 2007, we played our 4th league game of this year against ANSARA Kuala Terengganu on our home turf, the VI Greens. We ended the game with a disappointing 0-0 draw which was a blow to our title aspirations for this year. With all the other results not going our way, we need to concentrate on winning our three remaining games and hope for the best. Our Achilles' heel this year is our failure to convert goal-scoring chances which was apparent during our game against ANSARA Kuala Terengganu. The postponement of fixtures by the organizer certainly didn't help our cause either.
Hopefully, by the time our next game comes around we will be able to fine tune our strategies and our forwards will find the back of the net once again. Our next match will be on 15 July 2007 at VI Greens against ANSARA Kuantan.

2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 3 Report
2007 Malaysia Alumni LeagueMatchday 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.

2007 Malaysia Alumni League - Matchday 2 Report
2007 Malaysia Alumni League
Matchday 2 (VIOBA vs. MCOBA)
After our opening game victory, our next opposition is MCOBA. The match which was supposed to be our first home game of the season was played on Sunday, 27th May 2007 at F.A.S. Field, Kelana Jaya due to the unavailability of the VI Ground. There was a healthy turn out of players eager to don the VIOBA colors with the return of regulars who were unavailable for the opening game and new players with brimming potential waiting in the wings to showcase their talents.
The game was played on a rain-soaked pitch which made it a little difficult for the players. We started out with a 4-3-3 formation with the intention to control the midfield area and attacking the opposition using both flanks. The first half started extremely cagey for both teams and most of the battles were fought in a crowded midfield area. We had the upper hand over our opposition and created a few openings but the drab first half ended 0-0.
However, the second half was a totally different affair. The game was more open and MCOBA started threatening with long balls over our defensive back line for their speedy forwards to chase after. One of those long balls resulted in a corner kick which they scored from after a goalmouth scramble. Our players regrouped and with the introduction of Wan Khairul Ardrin ('02) and Mohd Noor Shakher ('00), we started to boss the midfield and began a relentless siege on MCOBA's goal. Finally, with the clock winding down, we were rewarded a freekick down the left touchline. The resulting freekick taken by Raziz Md Sa'at ('96), deflected of MCOBA's defensive wall and their goalkeeper flapped at the ball. The ball fell kindly to Saiful Bahrin Harris ('99) who finished with a simple tap-in. The game ended 1-1.
Our next game will be played at the VI Ground against SEMSAH on Sunday, 3rd June 2007. For more info on VIOBA's progress in this year's Malaysia Alumni League, please visit www.ligaalumni.com.

2007 VIOBA Charity Shield
The Batch of '94 (2006 Mokhtar Dahari Challenge Shield Champion) and the Batch of '96 (2006 Inter-Batch Futsal Champion) took the initiative to organize a friendly game on 22 April 2007 which acted as the curtain raiser for this year's events. They were even kind enough to donate a shield for the event which hopefully will continue to be organized annually.
The match was played in good spirit and the winners on the day was the Batch of '96 with the scoreline of 2-1 and became the inaugural winners of the event.The guest of honor for the event was Tuan Hj. Syed Abu Hassan who presented the shield to the winning team.
