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.
