Lunch At Kuala Selangor - 21st April 2012

On 21 April 2012, a few of our section members led by our convenor, James Sia, decided to venture to Kuala Selangor for a makan outing, with wives and kids in tow. It turned out to be a cosy affair (only 11 of us) with fantastic seafood and the mandatory drinks to wash down the grub! With the fishing boats coming back with their catch all afternoon, some amount of marketing was inevitable! The group headed home with their fair share of fish, prawns and a other local specialties. Anyone keen to do a weekend makan cum hockey trip to Kluang? Drop me an email!

RSC vs Aquinas College

RSC played Aquinas College from Perth on 12 April 2012 at Stadium Hoki Tun Razak. Aquinas is a regular visitor to Malaysia and RSC has hosted them in all their previous trips here. Aquinas came with a very young side, with an average age of just 16, whilst RSC was represented by the usual mix of a few young players, middle aged, 'matured' and 'very matured' players. We certainly appreciated the fact that we had a good turnout of 18 players for the game, as we needed to rotate our players considering the furious pace the game was played by our young opponents. Fortunately for us, experience and luck prevailed this time and we came out winners with a 5-3 margin. Our goals were scored by Joel Van Huizen (2), Jay Ooi (1), Baldwin Zacharias (1) and Vincent Mariadass (1). In true Malaysian spirit, the game was followed by a makan kecil at the stadium arranged by our Convenor, James Sia, and our Australian guests were more than happy to tuck into our local cuisine (including our locally brewed beers!). Aquinas thanked RSC for hosting the game and expresed their hope that they may reciprocate sometime in the future!

Annual SCC 6’s held on 3rd & 4th March 2012 at the Padang ,Singapore

The 2012 Singapore Cricket Club(SCC) 6’s saw RSC team comprising of Bobby Ho, Baldwin Zacharias, Daljit Bhullar(Keeper) ,James Andrew,Siva Subramaniam (Captain),Aiman Hakim and Tang Chun How playing their hearts out in this 2 day tournament at the Padang ,Singapore recently.
Great goalkeeping and strong backline marshaled by Bobby and supported by Baldwin and James enable the team to win by small margin to advance to the next round. Our youngsters in the likes of Aiman and Chun How provided the arsenal to propel the team to victory.
The first game was against the Dutch team and we won it 1-0. The 2nd game we were trailing 1-0 against the Singaporean team and managed to equalize in the last minute. The 3rd game which was under the blazing sun saw us losing to a young Japanese side. We played 5 games in all and dreaded the idea of getting back to the hotel as our legs were no longer ours.
The first day saw the RSC team ending up with 2 wins 1 draw and 2 losses. Unfortunately we missed the chance to go into the Cup category and ended up playing in the Plate category. The next day we met the Australian youngsters and succumbed being beaten 3-0 which practically ended our interest in this tournament .
In all, it was a good tournament in which we the players were able to enjoy the atmosphere and foster better friendship among other players and ourselves. As usual SCC was a fantastic host and hope to see them in our coming tournament.
Lastly we would like to thank our Good friend Prem who was there to support our team
