Friendly: Sarawak 1-1 Sabah
Borneo Post
KUCHING: Sarawak’s Iranian import Alirad Abbasfad scored on his debut at Stadium Negeri last Monday night.
The friendly match between the new-look Crocs against Sabah, was marred by heavy rain.
Referee Tiong Eng Tai had to call off the match in the 74th minute as conditions on the pitch got worse.
Both teams were tied 1-1.
Earlier Sabah had taken the lead off a free kick after their player was fouled at the edge of Sarawak’s penalty box. Mitrovic Srecko’s well executed kick went straight at the net, leaving goalkeeper Sani Anuar Kamsani no time to dive for a save. The score at half-time remained at 1-0. Sarawak launched more attacks from the start of the second half.
They were finally rewarded when Alirad found the net after connecting a pass from a team mate with a header. The Crocs had a good chance to go ahead when they were awarded a penalty by the referee for a foul in the Sabah penalty box. But new import Gabor Gyepes failed to put the ball past Sabah goalkeeper Mohd Fadzli Paat.

The Bosnian coach said this on Sunday after the team's final training session at the Likas Sports Complex before their departure to Kuching for the friendly match against Sarawak tonight.
"The players in the team have been doing great in training and fighting hard for the first 11 places and it gives me a headache in a positive way as to who will make the team," he said.

Rozaimi tekad lebih tangkas jumpa Laos
Berita Harian
Penyerang sensasi dari Sabah, Rozaimi Abd Rahman muncul penjaring sulung skuad Harimau Muda di Sukan SEA Myanmar apabila rembatannya pada minit ke-30 menerjah jaring gol untuk kemenangan 2-0 ke atas Brunei pada aksi pertama Kumpulan A di Stadium Zeyar Thiri, malam tadi. Namun Rozaimi, 21, tidak dapat meneruskan sentuhannya itu untuk menambah lebih banyak gol apabila beberapa percubaannya sama ada digagalkan penjaga gol lawan atau sedikit sipi daripada gawang gol Brunei.
Bagaimanapun, penyerang lincah itu berjanji untuk menampilkan persembahan lebih baik dan tidak akan mempersiakan peluang terhidang pada aksi kedua bertemu Laos, Jumaat ini. Memang banyak peluang tidak dapat disempurnakan saya dan rakan lain pada perlawanan ini, tapi ini baru aksi pertama, saya yakin aksi kedua nanti kami akan buat yang lebih baik.
Bukan kerana kami tertekan tetapi pada aksi pertama kami baru nak cari sentuhan sedangkan Brunei sudah menghadapi dua perlawanan, jadi mereka tampil lebih yakin. Saya percaya segala kekurangan ini mampu diperbaiki untuk aksi kedua nanti," kata Rozaimi ketika ditemui selepas perlawanan.

Johnny to coach Sarawak President Cup squad
Daily Express
Kota Kinabalu: Ex-Sabah senior team assistant coach Johnny Dominicus has signed a three-year deal with the Sarawak Football Association as their President Cup head coach on Tuesday morning. The 40-year-old who was earlier reported to have been snatched up by the Perlis Football Association as their assistant coach clarified that he had never put pen to paper with the Northern state's side.
"I was there (Perlis) helping them during the selection trial for their 2014 Premier League squad and I was then offered a year contract but before I could make any decision, Sarawak officials tracked me down and asked to join them instead." "They came with a better deal and what really convinced me to join them is their sincerity in wanting me to develop their junior squad in a long term basis with the offer of a three-year contact."
He said he will be given a free hand by the FA and his main target is to develop a winning team for the Sukma Games to be held in Sarawak in 2016. The former State centre back who is no stranger to Sukma glory having guided the Sabah team to a historic win at the Pahang Sukma Games in 2012 said it was an honour to be given the trust by Sarawak FA to groom their junior players.

Rexjeson delight after signing one-year deal
Daily Express
Kota Kinabalu: Striker Rexjeson Pitrus said it is a 'dream' to be playing for the State senior team after he signed a one-year deal with Sabah Football Association late Tuesday afternoon. The 21-year-old who was earlier dropped by Milomir Seslija in an earlier trial when the Bosnian first took over the team three months ago was delighted to be back in the team.
"It's like a dream. I want to work hard now and establish myself as a first team player," said Rexjeson. He said it was a big surprise to be called up to train with the team again after the friendly matches against the State team almost two weeks ago. "It was definitely a shock to my system as I was not even in the list of seven players that were shortlisted by Milomir after the recent Datuk Seri Musa Aman Cup inter-zone tournament."
"To be honest I didn't carry much hope coming back here again after the earlier experience where I was one of the first to be shown the exit." He said he fully understood the decision by the coaches then as he did not perform up to mark during the earlier sessions. "For me, it was a completely new experience and I just could not project myself better in that environment with so many seasoned players around and it was probably due to fright."
