Carolan expects Speedy Tigers to rebound at Asian Games


PETALING JAYA: Head coach Brendan Carolan is signalling hope for Speedy Tigers to turn things around at the Asian Games next month – provided they can hold on to consistency and improve on their poor finishing.

Malaysia ended up as wooden spoonists after losing 1-2 in a penalty shootout to Wales in the 15th-16th placing match at the Belfius Hockey Arena on Friday, following a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
