International Sports Club of Indonesia (ISCI), Jakarta (26-27 May 2012)

by Siva Subramaniam

ISCI 2012 held on 26th & 27th May at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta, Indonesia.

This annual event in Jakarta had RSC sending a team comprising of Oommen Koshy (Team Manager), St John Davies (Captain), Siva Subramaniam, Rajpal Singh (Mango), Maninder Singh (Minnie), I.Vickneswaran (Viki), Viki Boy, Kenny, Nigel, Kevin, Nasir and our Indonesian goalie Bian.

The RSC team before the game...
First day was played in the scorching heat and the day’s results ended as follow;
vs Barkarites Club (Singapore) Won 2-0
Goals by St.John and Kenny

vs Jakarta (Indonesia) Won 2-0
Goals by St.John and Kenny

vs Regulars (Indonesia) Won 1-0
Goal by St.John
After the game...
Day 2:
vs Politeknik (Malaysia) Lost 1-0

vs Exiles (Singapore) Won 2-0
Goals by Kenny and Oommen

Quarterfinal :
vs Host Team ISCI Lost 1-0 (Extra Time)

A bitter lost indeed due to a dubious call for a penalty stroke which led to ISCI the host scoring against stand in Goalie St.John. After the initial 15 minute play , each team is required to have their goalie and 1 player taken out thus leaving 6 players to continue the next 5 minutes of play. The first team to score wins the game.

Done for the day....
This has ended our interest in the tournament but we stayed on till the end and watched our local Politeknik boys lifting the title.

Our participation would not stop here as we will be back next year as usual . We like to thank the host ISCI for their fantastic hospitality and looking forward to seeing them at our tournament in mid July.

To the players it was indeed great playing together and good management as usual from Oommen ( off field) and St.John Davies (on field) . Well done !!
DONE!!
