The objective of the friendly matches is to prepare the team for the FA Miri League Cup to be held in March 24.
Samudra’s rise in form is made possible with the support of everyone associated.
“I am very thankful to the executive committee members of Samudra RSC who have given solid cooperation throughout the establishment of Samudra RSC,” the president said.
“So are the commitments of the players who never feel tired of supporting me in developing Samudra RSC both in the country and overseas.
“I hope that the executive committee and players will continue with the cooperation and work together to set the mission and vision of Samudra RSC.”
Kassim also outlined plans of the participation of Samudra RSC Jr, a junior team, in the Brunei-Muara District League this year.
“With their participation, this is proof that Samudra RSC will continue to succeed and progress.
“Towards the future, Samudra RSC will provide opportunities to the young generation to become members and be absorbed as players in Samudra RSC later on,” the team president said.
