YEAR END MAKAN KECIL 2021

 In a blink of an eye, another year is coming to a close. With most of 2021 being interrupted by the various restrictions, we had to cramp almost everything in the last quarter of the year.

Nonetheless, we had the privilege of playing many Saturday grass hockey session, well participated by our section members and astroturf sessions on weekday nights - thanks to our ever diligent convenor, Simon See, for making the arrangements with our opponents, booking of stadium, arranging for our padang and organising the post-game beverages.

To add the icing to the cake, we had friendly games with Royal Sg Ujong Club, ex UMBC players and PJ Club played at Kiara Sports Annexe followed by our usual makan minum at the club.

For all the above, we thank the club, the sport department and all the section members for supporting and participating in all our activities despite the short notice and limited resources in these recent months.

As a standing tradition of the hockey section, we held our section makan kecil on 27^th Nov 2021 (Saturday). Unfortunately, the unusually heavy and continuous rain meant we could not get on with our home vs home game, as it poured relentlessly for almost an hour.

It rained so hard, we could hardly see the clubhouse from our car

So, we turned our eyes to our screens instead, as we took this opportunity to watch the Malaysia vs South Africa game at the on-going 2021 Men’s FIH Hockey Junior World Cup played at Bhubaneswar. The hockey section had never been so quiet for a prolonged period, sipping on their teh tarik, with their eyes fixed on their phones!

In the end, the Malaysian junior hockey team, managed by our hockey section member - I.Vikneswaran, won this crucial game 4-3 and qualified for the quarterfinals.

We may have had the game called off, but the poolside makan kecil was definitely ON!

The dinner theme was “Your Favourite Football Team” and it was refreshing to see the diversity of team jerseys being worn that night (although some didn’t seem to have received the memo!). 

Always working behind the scenes - Convenor and Sport Chairman keep the wheels turning 

Derek and Judith – Good to see you…. whilst Ranjit keep the rival supporters in check!

A real family affair - with and without the alcoholic beverage!

You Never Walk Alone – Vegetarians included!

It was also really great to see the family and partners of our section members, as well as a few not-so-regular guys turning up for the makan kecil. We hope to see more of you!

A special note of appreciation to the RSC Kiara F&B team for the delicious food, fantastic service and for being on the ball with the beverages. Keep up the good work!
