Played between Vietnam Swans and Jakarta Bintangs

It is a measure of the respect for Dave “Flyer” Kainey that both the Bintangs and the Swans have wanted the Cup named after him.

Dave started off his Asian Footy career with the Bintangs and was formally voted by them as a “Club Legend”. He had a major role in introducing and developing Auskick into the country which has now had 10,000 go through its program. In 2003, Dave moved to Hanoi and was a lead organizer in shifting Aussie Rules from the couch and onto the paddock.

Since moving to Singapore in 2005, Dave has remained actively involved with both Clubs. For example, most recently he played for the Swans in their ANZAC Day match against Thailand in Kanchanaburi last month, he attends the Asian Champs with either (both) teams and he attends the Jakarta Bintangs AFL Grand Final Event. He even attends the Swans Annual Golf Classic in Melbourne on the 4th Day of the Boxing Day Test Match.

The Bali9s is one of the oldest and most prestigious tournaments in Asia. Hosted by the Bali Geckos its most poignant edition was 2003, the year after the Bali bombings. On that day, Bateman's Bay won the Cup, the occasion being graced by the then Prime Minister of Australia John Howard, but more importantly for football followers, Ron Barassi, Dermot Brereton and Mick Martin were in the stands , and Jason McCartney played for the Geckos. The final was actually televised in Perth. Sadly, the event has lost some lustre since, and last year saw the four Indonesian sides, the Bali Geckos, Timor Leste Crocs, Borneo Bears and Jakarta Bintangs compete, with Bali winning the final
