KL gets easy draw in National Under-14

Press release

Five times champions Kuala Lumpur were given a relatively easy draw for the MHC-NSC-MILO-MOE National Under 14 Championships that will be held in Seremban from November 16-25.

The draw for the championship was held in Seremban and present at the ceremony were Negeri Sembilan Hockey Association Deputy President Dato Abdul Halim Abdul Latif, Nestle Berhad Sports Sponsorship Manager Ng Ping Loong and Malaysian Hockey Confederation Competitions Committee Chairman M. Gobinathan.

"We are grateful to be given an opportunity to host the tournament and assure the teams that we will leave no stone unturned in order to make their stay here a memorable one," said Dato Halim.

"And I hope that our team will deliver their best in the tournament and try emerge as champions."

The city side have won the tournament since its inception in 2007 and will be gunning for their sixth title. They have been placed in Group A with the likes of Kelantan, Pahang, Johor, Perlis and Selangor.

Each participating team will receive a total sum of RM3,000 as subsidy with Nestle contributing RM2,000 and National Sports Council RM1,000.

Nestle also revealed the Milo Cup, which will be the challenge trophy as there has been no challenge trophy since the inception of the tournament in 2007.

Hosts Negri Sembilan are in Group B together with losing finalists Terengganu, Perak, Kedah, Sabah, Malacca and Penang.

The only state giving it a miss for the second consecutive year is Sarawak.

Coached by former juniors coach Balbir Singh, Negri exposed their team in the MHF-MILO-NSC Junior Hockey League Second Division and could reap dividends from the exposure.

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won.

Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak...
