March On...

...Girls!

Melaka continued their march into the last four of the National U-16 Women Hockey Tournament 2010 after a clinical 2-0 win over rivals Kuala Lumpur at the Majlis Bandaraya Kuala Terengganu Hoockey Stadium this morning. The win put them on top of the Group A table, level on points with Kuala Lumpur but having a superior goal difference than the City Girls.

Pulau Pinang played twice in a day due to some technical problems in their travel to the East Coast but at the end of the day put themselves in third place with an outside chance to qualify to the last four even though it will be a difficult task as their last match will be against the free scoring Melaka side.

Both Melaka and Kuala Lumpur could confirm their places in the last four tomorrow when they take on Johor and Negeri Sembilan respectively. The same outcome would be on the cards tomorrow in Group B after both Sekolah Sukan Bandar Penawar (SSBP) and host Terengganu registered their third consecutive win today.

Both teams only managed to score single goal victory over their opponents but they were enough to put them on top of the Group B standings. SSBP overcame a gritty Selangor side with Nurul Nadiah scoring through a field goal four minutes before the interval.

Meanwhile Terengganu found it hard to breach a resolute Kedah defence and had to wait until the 54th minute before Nurul Idayu getting the all important strike in a well worked out field goal.

Terengganu will take on Kelantan in an East Coast derby while another East Coast side Pahang will provide the opponent for SSBP.

Kelantan were at the end of another hammering, going down 6-0 to the sports school outfit while Terengganu were forced to work hard by Selangor before winning their encounter by the match solitary goal.

Pahang and Kedah played out to a 2-2 draw in another Group B match. Melaka opened their campaign by recording a 7-0 victory over their northern neighbour Negeri Sembilan.

Sticking...

The 2010 National U-16 Women Hockey Tournament is being held in Kuala Terengganu from 28 November 2010 until 4 December 2010. Matches are played at two venues; the Majlis Bandaraya Kuala Terengganu Hockey Stadium in Batu Buruk and the Gong Badak Sports Complex. However, most matches are held at the former due to its better facilities.

Eleven teams take part in the event and are divided into two groups. Group A consists of Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Pulau Pinang while Kedah, Sekolah Sukan Bandar Penawar(SSBP), Selangor, Kelantan, Pahang and host Terengganu are in Group B.

On the opening day Kuala Lumpur defeated Johor 2-1 in the sole Group A match while SSBP opened their campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of Kedah. In the afternoon session Selangor repeated the 5-0 scoreline when they overcame Kelantan while host Terengganu had to stage a second half comeback after Pahang led them 1-0 at the interval. The Young Lady Turtles scored thrice to make the final score 3-1 in their favour.

After the excitement in the water during the Heritage Bay Cup, Monsoon Cup 2010 Edition with Team AG:eing, mad redo1 will take his interest a bit inland with the Sultan's Cup Terengganu Endurance Challenge 2010 at The Terengganu International Equestrian Park in Lembah Bidong, Setiu, Terengganu.

Champions Terengganu...

...in Squash That Is.

After failing to land any titles in the football scene, mad redo1 as a Ganuan is proud when the Terengganu Squash team managed to bring home the men’s 2010 National Inter-state Team Championship after a 3-0 victory over Penang.

He is never a good squash player to the extend that he even managed to lose to an ex-girlfriend during his college days.

Nevertheless the development programme carried out by the State Sports Council is now bearing fruits with a number of Ganu players already making waves on the national circuit and one of them, Nafizwan Adnan is currently no.3 in the Malaysian team.

Congratulations guys!
