SHAKY START FROM OUR BOYS

Our mens hockey team started their KLHA Div 3 League campaign with an unconvincing win over a young KL Under-14 boys at the Pantai Hockey Stadium yesterday evening. The fitter and faster boys from the KLHA Development Project gave the more experienced RSC side a run for their money with their never say die attitude and all out attacking display. RSC took an early lead off their first attempt at goal but the KL boys fought back to draw level shortly after the restart. Our men recovered from the setback and scored 4 quick goals within a space of 15 mins to take a comfortable lead only to allow our opponents to steal their second goal just before the interval. The second half saw the Kl Boys controlling play and most of the action was taking place in the RSC goalmouth. RSC's German keeper Ingo made a number of crucial saves to deny the Kl side from making a comeback. Ingo was finally beaten from a well struck shot off a penalty corner and the score stayed at 5 - 3 until the final whistle. However, it was a well and hard earned 3 points for our RSC men.

KLHA League 2010 - Division 3

RSC play Bridesmaid's role again

Our boys once again had to play second fiddle to Ipoh Lads at the PSC Stanford Hockey Fest at the PSC grounds in Penang last weekend. In the final, the veteran Ipoh side defeated RSC 2-0 to successfully defend their title. Nevertheless, our players should hold their heads up high for going all the way to the final once again despite having a number of players who's age were 50 years above. This tournament allows players who are 40 years and above to participate and most of the players from Ipoh Lads were in the 40 - 45 age range. Congrats to the team for making us proud once again and it just goes to show that age is just a number. For more pictures from the event, please click on the PHOTO ALBUM on the right hand side of this blog. Pictures are coutesy from Letchi.

Mens Cup Champion - UniKL

UniKL, coached by former international K. Embraj took over from Sapura as the new winners of the 9th RSC Hockey 9's Tournament at the RSC Kiara Annexe last weekend. After 2 days of competition, UniKL met SJAA in the Cup category final and won 1-0 courtesy of a golden goal in extra-time. There was no shame in defeat for SJAA who put up a gutsy display against their more younger, skillfull and speedy opponents. In fact, SJAA shocked everyone by beating pre-tournament favourites KL Hockey Club in the semi-finals. KL Hockey Club boasted players like Chua Boon Huat, Ismail Abu, Megat Asrafiq and Robert Alcantra on their side but failed to live up to expectations. In the Plate category, Inter-Movers played intelligent hockey to outwit Chakde Hockey Club in the final. For the record, Inter-Movers is managed by RSC member James Andrew who played for the RSC Hounds. Barkerites from Singapore took the Bowl category title defeating the pilots from MAPA ( Malaysia Airlines Pilot's Association ) in the penalty shootout after the match ended 1-1. The evergreen Kevin Nunis who now resides across the causeway, not only scored the equaliser to force the shootout but also the winning penalty for the Singapore club. Among other ex-internationals who took part in the tournament were Datuk Poon Fook Loke, Colin Sta Maria, M.A. Sambu, Mahinder Singh, St.John Davies, Atul Kumar and Sunil Prasad plus a few more others. The final day of the tournament was attended by former MHF Deputy President Tan Sri Dato' Seri P. Alagendra and former national hockey team manager Datuk R. Yogeswaran. Mr. George Koshy presented the medals and trophy to the winners who also received a cooler box from sponsors UFL ( Universal Fitness & Leisure ) The Hockey Section of RSC would like to thank main sponsor Carlsberg Malaysia for their generous sponsorship. Special thanks also goes to all the participating teams especially those who came from abroad.

RSC vs KL Bar - Full Report

RSC continue winning ways against KL Bar.

The RSC hockey team continued on its winning ways against KL Bar in the annual RSC/KL Bar games held recently. This fixture is amongst 7 games held annually, the others being soccer, cricket, badminton, netball, tennis and billiards.
The game was held on 10th July at the Bukit Kiara sports annexe immediately after the cricket game, which was won by KL Bar excitingly. Thus it was left to the hockey boys to save the series. And the hockey guys, as always, did not disappoint. The game started off on a frantic pace with the RSC forwards going for the early goal to settle all nerves. The KL Bar defense, held together by Anand Ponnudurai (also a RSC club player), were able to keep the RSC forwards at bay. The RSC forward line, led by M A Sambu, was constantly harassing the KL Bar defense and before long, it produced a goal. Off a KL Bar attack, our midfield broke down their attack and I. Vicki threw an overhead pass to Terence on the right wing. He sped down the flank beat a defender and crossed hard towards goal for the lurking Sambu to deflect brilliantly past the goalkeeper to put RSC 1-0 up. RSC kept up the relentless pressure on the KL Bar defense and it wasn’t long before RSC went 2-0. This time off a through pass from the left from Jonathan, our midfield general Dato’ Poon, picked up the pass, evaded one defender and placed it on a platter for his son, Nikki, to smash home the ball. By now the KL Bar guys were able to only provide some sporadic attack on the RSC goal. They did have an opportunity, when Sanjay (also a RSC club member) had time and space in the RSC semi-circle but in hastiness he shot wide. That was about the only chance KL Bar had on the RSC goal. The RSC midfield, manned by Dato Poon and I Vicki, were constantly supplying passes to the forward line and off a brilliant pass from Dato Poon, RSC went 3 –0 up. This time Dato Poon had time to settle on the ball, side stepped a defender and laid a pass to Alex Voon on the right wing. Alex had the ball in the “D” and placed the ball beyond the reach of the KL Bar goalkeeper with a swift shot. The second half was a tame affair as RSC were contented to hold on to the lead and play out time as the KL Bar forwards hardly were a threat to the RSC defence. Off a quick counter attack, Dato’ Poon found himself in the KL Bar “D” and he took a quick snap shot towards goal. As the ball was travelling towards goal, Nikki, came from the blind side of the goalkeeper to flick it past the bewildered and stunned goalkeeper. RSC 4 – 0. RSC then eased off and KL Bar managed to get a penalty corner in the dying moments of the game and Sanjay scored from the hit to make it 4 – 1. But in the end , the RSC hockey team’s win was in vain , as KL Bar managed to win 3 other games to emerge as champions again in the annual series. Though the score was tied at 3 – 3, but by virtue of being winners last year, KL Bar hang on to the overall trophy for another year.

LAWYER'S LOSES IT'S CASE

RSC Mens's Hockey Section silenced KL BAR with a convincing 4-1 win yesterday in the Annual RSC-KL Bar games at the RSC Kiara grounds. RSC paraded a strong lineup with experienced players such as M.A. Sambu, Datuk Poon Fook Loke, I. Vickneswaran, Terence Rajasingham plus a handful other ex-state players. Former World Cupper Colin Sta Maria did not play due to a niggling thigh injury and called the shots from the sidelines.
A confident display saw RSC take a 3-0 lead within the first 20 minutes and that was enough to turn the lights out on KL Bar. In the second half, KL Bar produced a more spirited display but stout defending by the RSC defence kept the scoreline intact. Then, off a counter attack RSC scored it's 4th goal to kill off the match. There were some consolation for KL Bar though as they finally managed to get on the scoresheet with the last hit of the game via a penalty corner.
Final score : RSC 4 - KL Bar 1.

Jerantut Trip Update !

WELL DONE on a successfull and meaningful trip to Jerantut guys.

The response to the RSC coaching clinic in Jerantut was overwhelming. We were told to expect around 60 school kids. But when we turned up at the Jerantut town padang, we were taken aback to see 120 school kids waiting anxiously for us. This shows that there is interest in the game and all it needs is to lay the foundation well. We managed to conduct the coaching programme well within our time. This is all due to the good governance and execellent stewardship of our Dato Yoges. The assigned coaches, Sambu, St John Davies, Dato Poon together with the rest of players performed admirabily to handle the 120 kids. Our national coach, Stephen Van Huizen, imparted his knowledge to the teachers present there.Therein lies the future of hockey in Jerantut.Our Convenor, James Sia, was in his busy element taking photos, meeting with the officials and ensuring all was in order. We were fortunate to have with us Letchi ( MAS IFS) who also aided in taking photos of the kids in action. And the kids that tagged along with the parents, they also joined in the coaching programme. So all in all, it was a successful programme, as in one way or another all who travelled contributed a small part. No one person can claim to have a major share.
To those of you who missed out on the trip, we sincerely hope that you will be able to make it next year.

RSC Veterans win PSC Masters Cup

The RSC veteran’s hockey team participated in the first PSC Masters Invitational Hockey Carnival at the Penang Sports Club grounds on May 8th 2010. The PSC Masters Invitational Masters Hockey Carnival is the first of its kind in the country in that it is for players above 50 years old. The organizing chairman, Mr. Dharmasegaran from PSC, said that the idea to organize this tournament was because of the lack of playing opportunities for players over 50 years of age. He noted that currently for all the veteran tournaments the age-limit is cut off at 40 years. Thus he felt that for 50 year olds to play in these tournaments it was a distinctive disadvantage and too taxing. He also felt that by organizing a tournament of this nature, the older players could come and play amongst themselves on a level playing field and meet up with old friends.

4 clubs were invited to participate in this inaugural tournament, amongst them RSC, Singapore Cricket Club, Ipoh Masters and the hosts, PSC. However, on the day of the tournament, SCC shied away and the J-Stick Ipoh Lads replaced them. The competition format was a round-robin competition and played over 20 minutes. RSC’s first game was against the J-Stick Ipoh Lads and it turned out to be an easy game with RSC winning 2-0, goals scored by Terence and “import” Allan R. RSC’s next opponents were the formidable PSC, who had also won their first game against Ipoh Masters by 2-0. PSC took the game to RSC and attacked relentlessly but the RSC defence held them at bay. In the end, RSC trooped off winners by a 2-0 margin, goals courtesy of Terence. In the final game, which was of academic interest, the RSC guys after a long rest played out a goal-less draw with the Ipoh Masters. Maybe it was because of the long rest, which the RSC guys are not used to, that resulted in a tame draw.

It must be said here that RSC’s forte was the midfield where we had the energetic and buzzing Dato’ Poon Fook Loke and the “imposing but slightly mobile “ K Bala. It was like in old times to see these 1975 World Cuppers in action. In defence, RSC was marshaled by the “no-nonsense” but sometimes “erratic” Bobby Ho and the “ever electric” Baldwin . In goal, RSC had the calm and “gout” James to tend the cage. In the forward line RSC paraded the “effervescent” and “silky “Capt. Azman and the “goal-getter” Terence. To make up our numbers, we had to depend on 4 temporary “imports “to fortify our cause, because as it is always which we must admit, were able and dependable.

Immediately after the final game, the organizers treated the teams to a b-b-q lunch on the field with drinks flowing. It must be said here that with the drinks and the hot afternoon sun, the true hidden talents of the RSC hockey players surfaced. It was here that we saw the singing talents of the “gout” James, “effervescent” Azman and the “imposing but slightly mobile” K Bala. It was karaoke time and these sporting members really did RSC proud with their rendition of Cliff Richard, Lobo and Frank Sinatra hits. At times, they even did not want to part with the microphone. Even our very own Dato’ Yoges was impressed with their singing so much so he had to pencil some request for some of his favourites, and which was duly obliged by Bala, when he sang “ Let It Be “.It was a pity that both Bobby and Dato Poon had to return early and miss the renditions. Had they stayed back, we could have seen and heard more from these two, especially Dato Poon.

By the time all realized, it was late evening and it was time to leave. But before we left, the RSC guys definitely had left their mark in PSC and it was a good fun all round and the first PSC Masters Invitational Hockey proved a success. It has been decided that a tournament of this nature will be organized on a quarterly basis and that RSC would do this in December this year.
