Tune Talk Safee Sali League : CABJ Brought Home its First Title



CABJ’s newest addition to the team Norrizal Wazir proud us with the final penalty kick that brought CABJ a victory in the Tune Talk Safee Sali League Plate Championship against Corleone FC last Sunday Night, with a final score of CABJ -1 Corleone – 1 (penalty kick of the 5-3 shootout) that made us all proud of the gliders bringing home The Plate Champion title.

 “I’ve watched and hoped, many times when watching CABJ play, but this title means a lot to many not only the players but for the supporters too. We are proud of them!” CABJ’s non player member Hafizah Razi

Our striker who never let us down Firdaus Samsuddin scored the first goal during the first half when he beats Corleone's goal keeper leaving the goal post clear for a shoot. CABJ led the game with an early score of CABJ-1 Corleone – 0.

CABJ managed to hold Corleone back through out the 2nd half till Corleone FC scored during the 3rd half of the game when CABJ’s goalkeeper Wan Ajmal failed to catch the ball from a superb free kick by Corleone. Score was then CABJ – 1 Corleone – 1



CABJ strives for a goal during the tie during the third half and striker Ameer Aizat together with a Corleone player was raised with a red card leaving both teams with only 10 men on the field till the whistle blows ending the full time of the match which then brough to a penalty kick off.

When it was still the level after four penalty kicks from CABJ having goal keeper Faiz Farhan guarding the post and CABJ’s penalty takers Rahimi, Azrul Raimie, Ikram Al Rashid and Wildan, Corleone FC failed to equalize the fourth gosl leaving Norrizal Wazir to be the only one left for CABJ’s 1st title in the remarkable Plate Championship.

Through this journey of hope where the team craves for a title after a year of establishment, has played out with the intensity since the start of the plate round against Tanamera FC.

“We deserve this win. Our First medal of CABJ! Awesome GUYS! Man Of The Match goes to Walter Lee and Syed Shahril. None of this would have happened if it was not for Mr.Safrizal Mohd Said the inspiration for the team and also for me. Not to mention Shamil Yusof though we know you wish you could play yesterday but your presence was always there in the form of a shadow.” CABJ Coach/Manager Brian Nathan

Not forgetting the supporters who stayed with us from the first game against Mymanutd till a medal is finally worn on them.
