Tenaga poised for semis

01/08/2002

TENAGA Nasional Bhd are poised to snatch one semifinal berth from Group A
when they meet Yayasan Negri Sembilan in the MHF-Milo-Admiral-NSC Junior
League at the Seremban II Hockey Stadium today.
Tenaga, unbeaten in eight matches, have scored 43 goals and conceded
none. Today is expected to be no different.
But Tenaga coach K. Rajan can't help getting the jitters: "Going in as
the overwhelming favourites is not always a safe thing because YNS have
been improving steadily and could pose problems if my players become
overconfident," said Rajan yesterday.
The other eagerly-awaited match is between Petaling Jaya Municipal
Council and Ipoh City Council as the losers will find it harder to reach
the semis because Olak-MPK are lurking in the shadows with an easy match
against Krian District.
Today: Yayasan Negri Sembilan v Tenaga Nasional Bhd (Seremban II
Stadium, 5.15pm); Sultan Abu Bakar College v Armed Forces Apprentice
Training School (MPJB Hockey Stadium, 5.15pm); Olak-MPK v Krian District
(Pandamaran Hockey Stadium, 8pm); Petaling Jaya Municipal Council v Ipoh
City Council (Tun Razak Stadium, 6pm); Malay Mail v Penang Indians Sports
Club (Tun Razak Stadium 8pm).
