Chapter 1: The Rugby History of Me : Part 3

1995
- this is the year to remember. early in february, when we were training for the SEMSAS 7's tournament. i remember this name: SIAM, i dont know who is he. sitting together with RAJA IDRIS at the grandstand's stairs, watching us training. in a teamtalk after training, straight away he critics our team - as he said - a team with no attitude, no talented players, no future!.... who ever is he, we felt really humiliated with what this 'came-from-no-where' guy said.

we went to SEMSAS 7's and we lost all games...kena belasah. hahaha

later, i heard rumours that RAJA IDRIS is going to sacrifice our team and create a new target team - form 2 boys. what a plan...

SEMSAS 7's was the only defeat. since that, our batch never loss in any tournament and also in every single game we played. we won the KRM-MILO-MSMM U15 tournament for the first time for SMSS. we proud with it! until the day i post this chapter, still, we are the only batch of SMSS that won the tournament!

and this year, RAJA IDRIS made a very drastic decision to put me as a 2nd scrum-half (1st scrum-half was ARAFAT) for the U-18 KL team for the MSSM U-18 tournament in Terengganu. we won 3rd placing in Terengganu. that was a fantastic experience to me that create me to a much more matured rugby player.

thanks to my best ever coach...RAJA IDRIS RAJA ALI...
