Heartbreaks...

...for Lady Turtles

It was heartbreak hotel for the Terengganu girls this evening when they lost to Kuala Lumpur in the semi-final of the National U-16 Women Hockey Tournament 2010 at the MBKT Hockey Stadium in Kuala Terengganu. Both teams failed to find the net during regulation time and the extra-time also failed to break the stalemate.

In the end the match had to be settled through the lottery of penalty strokes. In the failing light due to the stadium's non-functional floodlights, the City Girls held their nerve to edge the host 3-2. Kuala Lumpur went through to meet the winner of the first semi-final between Sekolah Sukan Bandar Penawar (SSBP) and Melaka.

The sports school did not have much difficulties in disposing the Group A champions with a one sided score of 4-1. Melaka now will play Terengganu tomorrow morning to determine third and fourth place while the final between SSBP and Kuala Lumpur will take place in the afternoon.
