Tenaga still aim to blitz into top three even without suspended Kumar
By Aftar Singh
KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional are still eyeing a top-three finish in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) despite the absence of Malaysia’s top hockey goalkeeper S. Kumar.
Tenaga coach Nor Saiful Zaini admitted they would sorely miss the 38-year-old Kumar – provisionally suspended for two years after testing positive for banned substance sibutramine after an Asia Cup hockey match in October – who’s rated as one of the world’s best keepers.
Kumar has waived a B sample test and will be given hearing in January.
“A top-three finish is still possible without Kumar. But it’ll be a challenge playing without a sea-soned campaigner like him,” said Nor Saiful.
Mohammad Hairi Abdul Rahman will replace Kumar as Tenaga’s keeper.
“I hope Hairi is able to step in for Kumar. It’s also time for him to prove himself in the MHL and win a regular spot in the national team,” added Nor Saiful.
Hairi is among 24 players in the Podium Programme of the national hockey squad.
Nor Saiful, a former Malaysia captain, said Tenaga would continue to rely on local players to lead their challenge in the MHL.
“We’ve roped in two national players to beef up our strike force.”
Tenaga have welcomed on board forwards Tengku Ahmad Tajudin Tengku Abdul Jalil and Mohd Firhan Ashaari. The duo featured for Terengganu in the past few seasons.
Tenaga have also included six players from the Project 2020 squad – goalkeeper Muhammad Hamiz Mohd Ahir, defender Syarman Mat Tee, midfielder Shello Silverius and forwards Muhammad Noor Firdaus Rosdi, Mohamad Akhimullah Anuar Esook and Muhammad Azrai Aizad Abu Kamal.
The MHL kicks off on Jan 3 and Tenaga will face Maybank in the Tan Sri P. Alagendra Cup opener at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
Tenaga finished fourth in the eight-team Premier Division this year. They were knocked out of the Tan Sri P. Alagendra Cup after losing 3-2 to Kuala Lumpur Hockey Club (KLHC) in the first match.

UCC win Peard Cup for second time at sodden Garryduff
UCC’s Sam Grace during the Peard Cup final
UCC eventually pulled clear of Cork C of I B to land their second Peard Cup title in three seasons as Glenn Healy’s 56th minute deflection finally put them out of range.
They did so at a sleet-addled Garryduff with the wet and sleety conditions requiring a hasty change of pitch from the water-logged main pitch to the upper sand-based.
The slower surface, perhaps, acted as something of a levelling agent and UCC found the tie far tougher than their league meeting which they won at a canter 5-1 earlier in the campaign.
This time, with the ballast of Richie Dorman and Ken Twomey in midfield, C of I got off to a flyer with Mark Gallagher breaking the deadlock in the eighth minute from a penalty corner.
Stephen Jermyn equalised quickly with some sharp reactions to clean up off Peter Coulter’s pads following Shrew Power’s slap at goal.
Gallagher restored the C of I lead from a second corner in the 24th minute – two from two for him – before Sam Grace, UCC’s key player, fired home via the same method to make it 2-2 at half-time.
Eoin Finnegan, a Kilkenny native like Grace, restored UCC’s lead early in the second half with an excellent turn at the top of the D, coupled with a shot to the bottom corner. Plenty of sin-binnings followed with Cork C of I bearing the brunt of them for the most part as they spent much of the half on the back foot.
And there was no chance of a recovery when Power produced some brilliant work on the right wing to pump into the circle. Healy’s out-stretched stick put daylight between the sides for the first time with 14 minutes to go.
From there, UCC were reasonably in control barring Shane Webster’s last ditch consolation goal. It continued the students productive campaign to date, adding to their intervarsities Mauritius Plate success.

Pakistan hockey keeps on sinking even in the year 2017
Muhammad Ali
Pakistan hockey’s consolations in the dismal year 2017 was that they won a bronze medal at the Asia Cup after defeating South Korea in a classification match for third position at Dhaka, Bangladesh in October, and qualified for the World Cup 2018 after finishing poor seventh at World Hockey League in London in June. That was the sum of our ‘achievements’ in a sport in which once we were the top dogs in the world. After remaining at top of the hockey world for more than three decades, it is lamentable that a country who won Olympic gold thrice, World Cup four times, Asia Cup thrice, Asian Games gold record eight times, Asian Champions Trophy gold twice, FIH Champions Trophy gold thrice and remained unbeatable at regional level for many years are now a lowly team. Due to country’s obsession with cricket these days, Pakistan hockey has been relegated to the background due to the Pakistan government’s indifferent attitude towards the national sport.
