Help MBSA fight Hooligans in Miri Softball

2009-08-03T18:49:00.004+08:00

During the 80’s, Softball was a very popular sports in Miri. Vincent and CP Yong are the active leaders. But they gave up organising softball activities because they got tired of many hooligan players creating troubles in the softball field, their lack of discipline, quarreling with umpires, foul languages etc, some of these players were suspended from playing for a year or so. Softball was inactive for many years thereafter.
We are now in the 21st century, We still face this kind of problems in almost every tournament, do you want softball to enter another dark age in Miri? If not, then join force with us, we shall fight and crush these hooligans. There are at least 1 to 2 hooligan players in every team, the hooligan virus have not spread to the younger team yet. Tell these players in your team to stop creating trouble and problem further, or we shall penalize them one by one.
在80年代垒球是一种在美里活跃流行的活动. Vincent Chin和CP Yong是在垒球界的领导人. 后来,他们放弃了举办垒球活动. 他们放弃因为他们厌倦了太多的流氓没有纪律的球员在垒球界制造麻烦和问题,他们的无赖行为例如与裁判争辩. 骂粗话, 没有纪律等等, 这些球员曾经被停职比赛一年. 这项运动不活跃多年.
我们现在已经进入21世纪时代, 你想垒球在进入另一个黑暗时代？如果你不想, 和我一起打击和销毁这些人. 在每一个队至少有1或2流氓球员.告诉他们停止在垒球界制造麻烦和问题,如果没有的话，我们将一个接一个处罚他们.

Filipina dynamite decks Miri sluggers

2008-06-29T07:13:00.000+08:00

The Borneo Post Online

Miri women’s team had no answer to the hitting and pitching power of a Filipina dynamite who played for Brunei Muara, the winners of the softball competition in the 8th National Sports Festival in Brunei.

The sluggers from Miri Baseball and Softball Association looked well on their way to the gold medal until they came up against the fire power of Charlotte Degoma Besosa in the last three innings.

The Filipina ‘import’ single-handedly turned the game around when both teams were tied at 13-13 with Brunei Muara batting at the bottom of the seventh inning.

With all bases loaded and high expectations to deliver, Besosa took the pressure well in her stride, hitting a home run to seal victory by four runs (17-13), leaving the Miri lasses to rue their tough luck over a victory that slipped through their grasp.

Miri were as far ahead as 10-1 in the third inning when a local pitcher was throwing for Brunei Muara. But the tables quickly turned when Besosa took over the subsequent innings, culminating in her match-winning homer.

Miri ladies chief coach Peter Kuan nevertheless was happy with the performance of the players.

“It’s a good experience for them to play against the formidable Charlotte. The Filipina is among the best in Asean,” he said.

The match was good exposure for the players who would be representing Sarawak in the 34th Malaysia Open from August 16 to 19, he added.

Women’s softball team can go all the way

2008-06-17T07:17:00.006+08:00

Borneo Post online

The women’s team of the Miri Baseball and Softball Association is confident of finishing in the top two positions at the 8th National Sports Festival in Brunei.

This optimism of the association’s chairman Ishak Abdullah is based on the team’s preparation and its fourth placing at the 33rd Malaysia National Softball Open in Kuala Terengganu in June last year.

“The players have undergone a three-week intensive training. We are confident of taking the gold or silver,” he said yesterday.

However, in the men’s section, Ishak expects a tough fight from Muara and Temburong, saying these teams are the strongest in Brunei.

“Although our men’s team had three weeks of intensive training, they could still expect a tough fight from these two Brunei sides, he added.

According to Ishak, both Muara and Temburong are very motivated, playing a tournament every month to stay in top shape.

“We should be able to finish in the top four,” he said.

Softball is among the 23 sports at festival which starts today.

The others are badminton, netball, basketball, football, volleyball, chess, cue sports, golf, hockey, karate, cycling, boat racing, fencing, athletics, silat, ping pong, rugby, water sports, sepak takraw, taekwondo and tennis.

First organised in 1981, the festival is aimed at encouraging participants to lead a healthy lifestyle and improve their playing standards, as well as identifying and grooming talents to represent the country.

A total of 651 medals are at stake this year – 198 gold, 198 and silver and 255 bronze.

Ishak said this was the first time a men and a women’s team from the association were being fielded.

After the festival, a Sarawak team will be picked for the 34th Malaysia National Softball Open in Kuala Lumpur from August 16 to 19.
