More on Darts


The revival of Zaidi’s darts came into the picture when CIMB announced the selection of darts players back in 2007. He was thinking at that time that it is good to try and attended the selection as darts did not require so much physical energy compared to the football activities that he had undergone with the Tsunami FC. Lots of strenuous exercises as well as the pain endured when injured.
The selection was held at CIMB Semantan (pantry) and it was there that he met Encik Amin Abdul Ghani , the Malaysian Player / Asia Pacific Champion 2006 who was entrusted to coach the CIMB Darters to enter the NBSC as well as MIBA Tourneys on that year. The very first time the Bank entered the darts tourney. Majority of the staff attended did not even played darts before. Just a few to name yang pernah main darts like En. Ramli Abu, Bro. Othman Md Dom, Jega and myself….Tu pun dah sekian lama menyepikan diri dari permainan darts ini…hehe..:)….Selection went on for three days and later the coach announced the listed players…I was included as well…Thank God. Coach gave valuable advice and tips on how to becoming a better darter.
We went on to compete in the NBSC Tourney which was held at 1 Club. We managed to get 4th place in the team event despite been new to the darts arena of NBSC…and I went on to qualify to the quarterfinal of the single event despite without a moral support and encouragement from the whole team. Nobody in the team expected me to go as far as that but I seem to know it because I had experience from the land of Darts / Crafty Cockney’s homeland i.e. The Great Britain. In the MIBA Darts Tourney, we had managed to obtain 3rd place. Again, Maybank dominated the darts arena.


During the same time, I had represented Zone 10 in the Shah Alam Veteran Futsal Tourney organised by MBSA and we went on to win the category with RM1,500 prize money.
