By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Royal Thai Police Football Team flew in to Brunei Darussalam yesterday for two friendly matches against Brunei DPMM FC at the Jerudong Mini Stadium at 4pm today and at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium on Saturday at 8pm. The Thai cops are the current Division One champions and have been promoted to the Thai Premier League this year.

Brunei DPMM FC having played out two disappointing 1-1 draws against the Korea Police Agency FC last week in two friendlies will be looking for a win to boost their morale before resuming their Malaysian Super League campaign against Negri Sembilan Naza on Feb 14 at home.

Both new imports of Brunei DPMM FC, Alejandro Andres Tobar and Atilio Asuncion Cacerez will be hoping to impress the crowd while coach Ranko will be keen to test all his players.

This is the second time Brunei DPMM FC are facing the Royal Thai Police Football Team. Last year, they both drew 1-1 in Thailand.

When met at the airport yesterday on arrival, team manager Pol Maj Gen Pisan Chuldilok said: "We have just been promoted to the Thai Premier League after we became the champion of Division One last year."

The Thais boast of a strong defence and their dangerman is Ying Yong Thansopha, a centre-forward who is skilful and fast.

The team manager said the friendlies will be useful for his team to prepare for the Thailand Premier League season which will start on March 17.

Meanwhile, entrance to both games are free of charge. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
