National Juniors lack staying power in South Korea loss


KUANTAN: For 68 minutes against South Korea on Thursday, the National Juniors were in dreamland – and even thinking of competing against the world’s best at the Junior World Cup in India next year.

Then, in the last two minutes, it turned into a nightmare. And, before they knew it, the Malaysian hockey team’s hopes of playing in the 2016 Junior World Cup went up in smoke. Malaysia lost 1-4 in the penalty shootout after drew level 3-3 in regulation time.
