What a howler, MHC


Abstract

KUALA LUMPUR: Leave it to bungling Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) technical committee members to steal the show.

Division One champions Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) set up a showdown with TNB Thunderbolt for the President’s Cup (Division One overall title) – but that wasn’t the talking point.

What was on everyone’s lips yesterday was how UiTM only found out that two of their players – Mohd Taufik Abdul Hamid and Razalee Yahya – had been given two-match bans just one hour before their semi-final, second-leg clash against Ipoh City Council (MBI) in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.

Three UiTM players, including Abdul Rauf Nazri, were sent to the sin-bin in the first-leg clash on Wednesday.

MBI’s Mohd Faris Fadila Zulkifli was red-carded in that match for hitting a UiTM player on the head with the hockey stick.

The technical committee met on Thursday to hand Mohd Faris a one-match ban.
