WJHL: UniKL just want to have fun...

UNIKL Young Guns have been told by their coach R. Vivekanandan to 'have fun' in the Women's Junior Hockey League quarter-finals against Kuala Lumpur Wipers tomorrow.
  For, the experienced coach knows that his charges are not expected to beat Group B champions KL Wipers. UniKL finished fourth in Group A, barely making the quarter-finals cut.
  "We only had six days of training for this inaugural WJHL and I am very proud of my girls because they made the quarter-finals. On the other hand, KL Wipers have been training and playing together for many years and I expect them to have the upper hand.
  "That is why, I told my my charges to have fun, and don't worry too much about their much superior opponents," said Vivekanandan.
  From Group A, League champions SSTMI Thunderbolts are the team to beat. They won all six matches with convincing scores, and will play fourth played Group B team MSNT-SMKPM.
  Fourteen teams competed in the inaugural WJHL.
