BBQ, Stage Performance For The Northern Warriors

The UUM soccer team, ended their last evening at Teluk Batik with a barbeque session prepared by all members of the team. It was deliciously prepared by the boys and it was great to see that all the boys helped each other preparing the meals. Soon after, the boys had great fun with great performance by all players performing boria, nasyid and dikir barat. The groups are made of players from different departments in the team (defender-midfielders-strikers/goalkeepers) and they have to perform according to the assignment given to them earlier. Besides the group performance, it was great to see that the players got talent in singing as well. The players were later presented with some presents by the head coach.

Tomorrow the team will leave for UiTM in Seri Iskandar, Perak Darul Ridzuan and report into the camp before the tournament kicks-off on Sunday.

Fun Time Before The Cruncher

The UUM soccer team took their time off from the hectic training schedule for some fun times at Teluk Batik in Lumut, Perak Darul Ridzuan. The team arrived yesterday from Sintok and checked-in at Chalet Impian Pak Man in Teluk Batik. Upon arrival, the boys wasted no time and spent the whole evening in the sea. Its splashing time for them. Tonight the boys will be performing some cultural performances on stage. The team had been splitted in three different groups and each group will put up their performance on nasyid, boria and dikir barat.

Focus Switched To MASUM Cup 2009

After failing to be promoted to the Premier League in the recently concluded MASUM Division 1 Soccer Carnival, the Northern Warriors will now put their focus on the MASUM Cup to be held in UiTM Sri Iskandar, Perak Darul Ridzuan. The tournament is scheduled to kick off on May 24th with UUM is down to play its neighbour, UniMAP of Perlis.

The team left for Teluk Batik in Lumut, Perak Darul Ridzuan for a retreat cum team building and motivation camp to be conducted by it's head coach, Azman Hj Eusoff. The camp is aimed towards improving the team spirit and teamwork which was clearly lacking in the previous tournament. Aside, the camp will also ease down any pressure on the players prior to the competition. With injuries to key players ie. Mohd Taufikh Abdullah (defender), Cao Le (midfielder), Mohd Rahizan Md Kasmani (striker), Dominic Roy (defender) and Norbert Obiekwe (midfielder), the team will have to opt for other players in order to face the high riding opponent who finished fourth in the MASUM Divisyen 1 Soccer Carnival.

However, the team is optimistic on their chances to qualify to the second round of the tournament which also sees the participation of teams from the MASUM Premier League.
