If there’s a will, there’s ALWAYS a way!

The recent months have been extremely challenging for many of us, with the MCO/FMCO and the impact to our daily lives - businesses, employment, school, family and recreation (including hockey!). We were very optimistic back in April that the situation would improve and that we could already organise our own RSC 5-a-side hockey event on 26th June 2021! Allan, Agilan, Brian, Gagan, Greg, Harvinder and Taranveer were already hard at work planning the teams, play format, rules, umpires, prizes, awards and dinner event. With over 40 section members already committed to play, we were extremely excited to make this happen! But alas... this was not to be… with the recent trend of new Covid 19 cases. As such, we will now have to find another suitable date for this much anticipated event.

In fact, way before the lockdown was announced, the RSC hockey section had already taken the safe and responsible road by cancelling all hockey games at Kiara or hockey stadium, in the interest and safety of our section members and families. However, nothing will stop our guys from finding ways to remain active (physically or mentally), engaged and fit (whilst adhering to the SOPs) during this MCO/FMCO. Being strong and healthy now becomes even more important during the pandemic. #SihatPKP Any form of exercise or activity keeps the body and mind healthy. Getting into a routine and discipline of exercising or some form of activity is also essential to maintain some sanity and avoid cabin fever during this lockdown. It is the survival of the fittest!

As they say - If there’s a will, there is always a way! Lockdown or otherwise! Let’s do the right thing by keeping fit, adhering to SOPs and getting vaccinated soonest! #LindungDiriLindungSemua Together we can get through this and hopefully, we can see each other again on the hockey pitch soon (and, of course, at the pavilion for our usual post-game makan minum sessions)! #MenangBersama #KitaJagaKita Missing all the guys and looking forward to seeing all of you again (in the flesh!), Fit and ready for some hockey action once the situation allows it! We hope this collection of photos and captions from our hockey section members will put a smile on your face and perhaps be a motivation to all to get active!
