With 66 league and cup matches played this weekend, the Jakarta Schools Football League broke every record in the book on matches played and kids on the football field.

Despite inclement weather, six different venues were called into action and hosted close to 1,500 student footballers from 50 different schools.

The Greenfields Challenge Cup preliminary rounds for the Under-10s and Under-12s were held on Sunday morning. A hat-trick by Dwisadewo Fahmi of Sekolah Victory Plus put the team well on its way to an 8-1 triumph over Bina Bangsa School-Kebon Juruk.

Adit Aditya of Sekolah Mentari Int Bintaro emulated the feat in a 4-0 win over the all-girls team from The British International School, BIS White.

Asked if it felt any different scoring against girls, Adit said, “No, they’re a good team and it was a tough game. I was happy to score. We lost 5-0 on Saturday so it was great to win today and we get to play again next week.”

Another cup hat-trick, this time from a girl, came from the aptly named Chelsea Rock. She struck three times in the U-12 Division as British International School Blue beat the Sevilla School to go through to the next round.

The league committee has now closed the registration of teams for the 2010 season and has formally invited those schools to confirm their inclusion in the 2010 season by payment of the Rp 1.00 m per team subscription fee to the JSFA account detailed below.

When paid, the successful schools will be given access details to the player registration system to commence player registration.
