JYS 2009 TOURNAMENT A GREAT SUCCESS

Posted : 16 December 2009

The All-Star tournament we ran over the weekend of the 5th and 6th of December has proved to be a great success. I myself witnessed some great games and results. Our Congratulations to all the teams who participated. The conditions were challenging, however we were able to keep the program on schedule.
We would like to thank all the sponsors who made the weekend possible. The main sponsor of the tournament Bank Permata who provided the uniforms and medals, Coca-Cola with drinks and direct sponsorship of the teams, adidas who provided T-Shirts for the players and coaches and finally JIS for their support with the venue and its preparation. Without this support from the sponsors we would not be able to continue to elevate the standard of the league or provide these opportunities long term.
We would also like to thank all teams for their participation in the event and in particular Surbang Jaya the visiting overseas team from Malaysia.

ALL-STARS
The JYS teams are made up of the best players as nominated by coaches over the regular JYS season.
We will be taking our u13, u15 and a special team of past players forming a u18 team to the SEA tournament in Singapore on the 27th and 28th of February 2010.
The All-stars are fully funded by sponsors and parents so we need your assistance to keep this valuable program going. If you would like to get behind our programs we would love to hear from potential sponsors as we will need to raise Rp200 million to support the teams for the costs of training, uniforms , bags, equipment as well as travel  and accommodation costs.

RESULTS
The winners in each of the age groups were all JYS teams and highlight the standard of the players we have and the dedication of coaches to ensure the teams were prepared.
U11 JYS WHITE
U13 JYS BLUE
U15 JYS WHITE

U11 SECTION
We experienced some fine football over the weekend and some very entertaining games. The JYS White team really ground out its win with some very close and exciting games. The highlights were the 2-1 win over SSI on the Saturday that saw desperate defense keep an attacking SSI at bay which set up their chance for the tournament win. The decider saw both the JYS White and Blue teams face each other. The blue team had all the early play but it was the White team that scored against the run of play. The Blue team soon recovered and equalized just before half time. The second half was a desperate battle, the White team just needed to hold on, while it was a must win for the Blue team to have any chances of winning the tournament. The game was not the best spectacle of football, however it showed great character and determination from the two sides. The final result was 1-1 and was enough for the White team to take the tournament.

U13 SECTION
The U 13 JYSL had two teams in the Jakarta Youth Soccer Tournament which was held on December 5/6. The teams played very attractive soccer which was evident from the results. The U13 blue team won two games  6-0 and 9-0 and showed excellent skills and  passing which showed that the training effort the week before during the SSI/Arsenal Soccer camp had paid off. Both teams showed great team effort and where able to use their players effectively.
The JYS Blue team’s game against Surbang Jaya from Malaysia showed excellent play and was a true team effort with all players contributing to the result. However the excellent play of the team’s libero Liala Juuldam, has to be mentioned as she keep the gate closed to the opposition. 
The U-13 JYS white team also played some attractive soccer. The team’s right winger, Kurt Mcnally, was able to create excellent opportunities and he played a very good game. Together with Ixan Fandi Achmad both created excellent opportunities and skills levels seldom seen in Jakarta Youth Soccer.
The Sunday game saw JYS white against blue and was a highlight of the tournament. Andreas showed excellent play and leadership and helped to create opportunities in a game which was very exciting as underlined by the  4-4 score. JYS Blue won the tournament and the happy coaching trio, Dale Mullholland, Jaspal Sindhu and Johan Kieft look back on a very successful tournament for both teams.

U15 SECTION
The level of football played at this age group was outstanding and I was proud to see such great performances from the JYS teams.
The JYS Blue team opened up the event and played some solid attacking football that saw them take the game 4-1.
The next game between SSI and JYS White turned out to be the match of the tournament for this age group. It was a great game of control by both sides. Possession was the name of the game and both sides played this very well with good solid build ups.
The JYS White had slightly the better of SSI in the first half and went in 1-0 up after a brilliant long range goal from Michael Stone. SSI came out in the second half looking to equalize, however the JYS White defense led by Matt Trangoni Stood firm and held on for a well played win at 1-0.
The JYS Blue against SSI started out very even, however as the game progressed SSI started to take control and eventually ran out easy winners.
The match between JYS Blue and White was a hard fought game, however it was the control of the game tempo and the possession of the ball that gave the advantage to the white team who capitalized on the chances they created to take the game 3-1.
The final game was between SSI and the Caribbean Soccer Academy in which SSI dominated the proceedings and took the game easily and finished the tournament in second position.
