A First For Junior Footballers
This SportingLife
The Ultimate Cup
In what was described as a lifetime experience, a group of junior Balinese footballers have returned from Singapore, where they participated in the Singapore Cricket Club Soc- cer Sixes. The Bali Sport for Peace Foundation (Yayasan Damai Olahraga) organized for the group of ten 13-year olds from Klungkung, in East Bali to train and play in the event. The players not only left Bali for the fi rst time, experienc- ing their fi rst ever time on a plane in the process, but also experienced Singapore from a local perspective after being billeted with local host families. A total of 23 teams from Singapore, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Thailand participated in the tournament. The Bali team performed above expecta- tions by fi nishing in the top half of the competition. Sport was only part of the experience, with lessons, discussions and observations of how Singapore’s clean environment can infl uence ones quality of life. The players are now part of Bali Sports Foundation “ambassador’s program” which in part involves them teaching their friends about the value of keeping their own banjar clean. The Bali Sports Foundation has passed on their thanks and gratitude to the Singapore Cricket Club and its sponsors for helping to enable the tour to happen.
The Bali Masters 9s
The Bali Geckos will be hosting the upcoming 2010 Bali Masters 9s Australian Rules Football Championship. Held at the Canggu Club, the event is looking set to be Asia’s biggest ever Aussie Rules event. 11 teams have already registered for the tournament, including teams from across Australia, as well as East Timor and Dubai. A number of other teams are keen to join, with a projected total of 16 teams from six countries expected to play in this year’s tournament. The event sees teams play following specially modifi ed 9-a-side rules, with the inclusion that all players must be over 35 years of age. The event is endorsed by AFL Masters, who are the governing body for Masters rules football in Austra- lia. With the large number of teams attending games will be played over two days, with the grand fi nal being played under lights.
The Bali Geckos have a history of setting the standard in Asian football. The club’s uniquely conceived Bali 9s in- creased the professionalism of Aussie Rules tournaments in Asia. At the time the Bali 9s were the biggest footy events on the continent, even attracting the then Australian Prime Minister John Howard to attend. The 2010 Bali Masters 9s Australian Rules Football Championship will be held at the Canggu Club Friday June 11 and Saturday June 12. More information can be found at

The 11th Annual Bali Nusantara Cup Ultimate Frisbee Championship took place in Sesetan last month. Teams from Indonesia, Timor Leste, and Singapore participated in the event. The fi rst day of the tournament saw teams play each other in a round robin format, with last year’s tournament runner-up, Singapore’s Shiok, undefeated after round-robin games. On day two of the tournament, teams continued to fi ght for point after point with sticky tight defense and smooth offense to get a chance to play in the fi nals. Relatively new team, Ultimor from Timor Leste, was eliminated fi rst after a close match with host team, Jakarta- based DiscIndo, and placed 5th overall. DiscIndo then lost out to Singapore’s ACJC in their second game against them for the day and placed 4th. In a surprise semi-fi nal game, newcomer ACJC won universal point against Thunderpants from Singapore who then placed 3rd. The Grand Final saw Shiok take on ACJC in their fi rst international tournament outside of Singapore. Eventually, speed and experience prevailed as Shiok were declared Bali Nusantara Cup 2010 Champions after winning the game to 13 points.
