RESULTS: Final -- Kuala Lumpur 6 Malacca 0; Third-Fourth: Perak 6 Kelantan 3.
KUALA Lumpur romped home to their fourth consecutive National Under-16 title when they whitewashed Malacca 6-0 at the Kuala Lumpur HA Stadium yesterday.
And it was no surprise, as they had the best players in the tournament and lifted the crown without conceeding a single goal in eight matches.
The tournament also served as a selection for the National Under-16 team, and 13 Kuala Lumpur players were named in the 47-strong training pool.
Eight players were selected from bronze medallists Perak, six from Selangor, four from Penang, three from Malacca, three from Kelantan, three from Negri Sembilan, two from Kedah, and one each from Perlis, Johor, Pahang, Terengganu and Sabah.
The newly selected squad will be coached by former International Lim Chiow Chuan for the qualifying rounds of the Tun Razak Cup in April and May before competing in a Four-Nation Invitational in Manheim, Germany from 10-13 June, 2011.
The other three countries in the fray are Germany, Holland and Belgium.
The KL goals were scored by Danial Asyraf (14th), Zizi Azwan (24th, 51st), Norsyafiq Sumantri (25th), Zahir Zaki (31st), Atithsha Tamil Chelvam (64th).
Meanwhile in the bronze playoff, Perak proved to be too strong for Kelantan and took a 3-0 lead off Ashran Hamsani (second), Khairul Adha (19th) and Luqman Hakim (24th).
Kelantan rallied and scored two goals off Faiz Zin (28th) and Aminudin Zain (35th), but Perak regained their confidence when Ashran scored in the 40th minute to make it 4-2.
And Khairul scored his brace in the 56th minute to make it 5-2 and it was plain sailing after that even though Kelantan scored their third in the 59th minute off Faiz.
Ashran claimed his hat-trick in the 67th minute, and the bronze medal was in the bag.
Fairplay: Pahang.
Most Outstanding: Amirol Aideed (KL).
Best Goalkeeper: Fitri Jasni (KL).
Top Scorer: Ikwan Ishak (NS) and Khairul Adha (PK) -- both scored 11 goals.
Man-of-the-Final: Norsyafiq Sumantri (KL).

No place for Ismail Abu..
FROM http://www.tnbmhl.com.my
There was no place for Ismail Abu in the training squad for the national team that was named despite some strong performances in the recent Malaysian Hockey League.
And the door was also shut on the likes of Khairul Nizam Ibrahim, Jiwa Mohan, Jivan Mohan, Mohd Fikri Bassar, Tajol Rosli Mohammad and Muhd Fairuz who were in the training squad last year.
Also being shown the door were players who withdrew from the national team at one time or another in the likes of Ahmad Kazamirul, Muhammad Shafiq, Hakim Adnan, Mohd Amerullah, Baljit Singh Sarjab Singh, Herwan Pami, Harvinder Singh, Khairul Azrin.
And with the NSC only approving 25 players for the squad, the coaches decided to circumvent it by naming five attachment players.
The national team will participate in the Azlan Shah Cup (5-15 May) and a Four Nation Invitational in June in Moscow. They will also participate in the Champions Challenge in South Africa this November before the Olympic Qualifiers early next year.

KLHC nail double
FINAL: Sapura 1 Kuala Lumpur Hockey Club 3.
Third-Fourth: Yayasan Negri Sembilan 1 Tenaga Nasional 3.
ROLL-OF-HONOUR:
Top Scorer: Razi Rahim (27 goals, KLHC)
Faiplay: Armed Forces Airod (RM3,000)
Man-of-the-Final: Roslan Jamaluddin (KLHC)
Man-of-the-Tournament: Azlan Misron (KLHC)
Best Goalkeeper: S. Kumar (Tenaga)
KUALA Lumpur Hockey Club (KLHC) claimed their second double when they beat Sapura 3-1 in the final of the TNB Cup at the Tun Razak Stadium yesterday.
The first double was in 2008, and yesterday's effort earned them RM60,000 while Sapura received RM40,000.
A crowd of 4,000 watched a sizzling final, as hockey was played at an entertaining level by both teams.
And it did not take long to get the crowd excited, as in the first minute itself, an Azlan Misron cross found Nabil Fiqri who gave KLHC an early boost.
Sapura were forced to open up the match after that and started making numerous counter attacks, which failed to find the equaliser even after four penalty corners were won as S. Kuhan was off colour.
KLHC resorted to defending, and only started attacking in the last 10 minutes of the first half, but could not increase the lead as three penalty corners were wasted by 26-goal scorer Razie Rahim.
After the breather, KLHC again mounted a swift attack in the 36th minute to consolidate their lead, but Ismail Abu just missed.
Sapura kept on pushing for the equalsier and in the 46th minute, Korean import Lim Woo Geun sent in a sizzling penalty corner flick which drew them level, but only for two minutes.
KLHC's Amerullah Aziz took it upon himself and made a darting run, and found the foot of a Sapura player in the 48th minute to win a penalty coner. Razie cooly flicked home their second, and his 27th goal of the Malaysia Hockey League.
Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin, who had a poor match thus far, suddenly sprung into action in the 58th minute and scored a super field goal to give Sapura a 3-1 lead.
All hell almost broke loose in the 59th minute when Rodzhanizam Radzi of Sapura took a swipe at KLHC's Shahrun Nabil.
There was a brief commotion, and umpire Nazmi Kamaruddin brought it under control by flashing the red card to Rodzhanizam while Shahrun received the yellow for retaliating.
"It was a highy charged, but entertaining final and my players deserve the double as they never lost a match other than the Charity Shield (against Tenaga Nasional)," said KLHC coach K. Dharmaraj.
Meanwhile, in the bronze battle Yayasan Negri Sembian drew first blood when Muhammad Imran converted a penalty corner in the 16th minute, but Tenaga Nasional refused to cave in easily.
The tide was turned by Faizal Saari who scored a penalty corner brace in the 25th and 45th minute, before Mahinder Singh zipped the match shut with a field attempt in the 67th minute and TNB were RM30,000 richer.
YNS received RM20,000 for finishing fourth.
