Kuala Lumpur Hockey Club (KLHC) suffered a setback in their chase for the TNB Malaysian Premier Hockey League crown when they only managed a 1-1 draw against a resilient Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) at the Kuala Lumpur Hockey Stadium in Jalan Pantai on Friday.

With two wins so far against defending champions THT in the Charity Shield and a comprehensive 5-2 mauling of Sapura, no one would have bet against KLHC taking all...

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) mahu bangkit daripada dua kekalahan berturut-turut di saingan Liga Premier, TNB Liga Hoki Malaysia (LHM) apabila turun pada perlawanan ketiga bertemu Terengganu Hockey Team (THT) di Stadium Hoki Pantai, esok.

Namun kemenangan besar 11-0 ke atas UiTM-KPT pada pusingan kalah mati Piala Tan Sri P Alagendra, Selasa lalu mengembalikan semula keyakinan barisan pemainnya untuk berdepan THT. "Dua kekalahan awal itu bukan disebabkan pemain tidak bermain dengan bagus. Cuma gol yang diperolehi lawan...
