KUALA LUMPUR: The recent floods in the east coast have forced Terengganu’s SMK Padang Midin to pull out of the MHC-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League (MJHL).

SMK Padang Midin, a regular participant, cited the unavailability of their artificial pitch as it is still covered in mud, as the reason for withdrawing. They also informed the Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) that they could not get the team ready in time for their first match. The MHJL starts on Friday.
