The Malaysian team made it to the finals of the Sultan of Johor Cup, meeting the impressive Indian team that tore apart Pakistan earlier in the tournament.

India proved to be the superior team in the finals. They were more deadly in the 'D' and counter attacks, winning 3-0, despite the valiant effort by our keeper.

Argentina took 3rd placing.

Makan Trip to Kuala Selangor.... AGAIN!

Despite the lack of hockey activity due to the closure of Tun Razak stadium, the eating continues... And so, on 21 September 2013, yet another makan trip was organized.

The makan party met up at Kiara on a sunny Saturday morning and headed to Kuala Selangor - which seemed to be becoming a favorite makan haunt!

James Sia led the group consisting Alex (James's son), Dato Poon, Bobby Ho, Capt Azman and the Teh sisters. The usual shopping for fresh fish ensued, resulting in several cooler boxes filled with seafood, followed by a wonderful lunch by the river.

We should do this more often!

KLHA League 'kicks' off!

20 September 2013 saw our first league game for 2013 vs the Sukma Ladies at Pantai blue turf at 7pm.

Within minutes, we were back-pedaling from the fit and fast ladies and were soon down by 2 goals. Stunned into action, we attacked with more purpose with Bobby Ho and Alex Voon on the wings, and Colin and Nicky Poon playing through the middle of the field. The first half ended 3-3 and several changes were made as some tired legs were starting to show.

Having reserved all their energy in the first 9 months of the year, Charles, Siva and Terence took the field in the 2nd half! The defense stabilized after a shaky first half and the game started to move in our favor. Colin, Dato' Poon and Jay were moving the ball up-field at a more purposeful pace, creating more attacking play.

Nicky Poon went on a rampage and ended the game as the top scorer with 4 goals. It was also nice to see Alex 'The Pacemaker' Voon scoring a goal in the game,

Final score : RSC 8 - Sukma Ladies 3.

 Not bad for our first game of the season. The usual post-game drinks and 'reflection' followed... 

Looking forward to the next game vs Kilat Club!
