Penang will have to exercise caution in their bid to retain the title in the shortened National Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Under-18 hockey tournament which starts at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil today.
The meet, featuring 15 teams, will be held over five days. Penang are drawn in Group A, which have only only three teams including Perak and Selangor.
Penang coach Yap Gark Soo said that the tight schedule will be a big factor.
“Previously it was held over seven days during the school holidays. But this time MSSM decided to shorten the meet. Even the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be held on the same day,” said Gark Soo yesterday.
The girl’s Under-18 and Under-12 categories will also be held simultaneously. The matches are at the Tun Razak Stadium and the KL Hockey Stadium in Jalan Pantai respectively.
