MHF-MILO-NSC-MOE DAY THREE

Negri Sembilan registered their second win on consecutive days when they defeated Kedah 4-0 in the MHC-Milo-NSC-MOE National Under 14 tournament at the Seremban 2 Hockey Stadium.

Two goals each from Mahathir Rathuwan (10^th and 24^th minutes) and Muhammad Hilmi Hairuddin ( 26^th and 35^th minutes ) gave the hosts a resounding win although they really should have added to their tally in the second half.

Penang registered a 6-2 win over Sabah who had done well in earlier matches restricting their opponents to just one goal margin of defeat.

Muhd Aiman Asyraff Mansor put Penang ahead in the 11^th minute, converting a penalty corner. But Shello Silverus made it all square in the 15^th minute, only for Penang to regain the lead in the 19^th minute via Afif Haikal Mohamad Azhar.

Silverus scored his second to pull his team level in the 22^nd minute via a penalty corner.

But that was as far as Sabah could last as Penang added another four goals in the second half through Muhd Azim Ilias (42^nd minute), Tengku Ariff Haikal Tengku Nor Kamarul Haizan (57^th minute), Muhd Safirul Sazali ( 66^th minute) and Mohammad Farhan Rozi ( 69^th minute) to take all three points.

Meanwhile Selangor defeated Johor 3-1 with the goals for Selangor coming from Muhd Asyraff Nazri ( 47^th minute), Fariq Razin Idris ( 50^th minute) and Muhammad Faisol Rohizan ( 67^th minute). Johor’s solitary goal was scored by Mohd Amirul Hanis Abdul Aziz in the 27^th minute.

Perak continued their winning ways by defeating last year’s runner up Terengganu 3-1 to consolidate their lead in Group B.

And the battle of the east coast states , between Kelantan and Pahang ended scoreless.
