MAYBANK AIM TO END 14 YEAR WAIT
The last time Maybank defeated Tenaga
Nasional Berhad in the knock out stage of the MHL was in the 1999
season. But they went on to lose the final against Bank Simpanan
Nasional. And prior to that Maybank won the double in 1994 and the
overall title in 1995.
Ironically both Maybank and TNB are the
pioneers of the MHL, as the two clubs have never missed out on any
edition since the MHL was introduced to replace the Champions Club
tournament in 1987.
WALKING ON A TIGHT ROPE
Several players will be walking on a
tight rope in the semi finals of the TNB Cup, the first leg of which
will be held at the National Hockey Stadium at Bukit Jalil this Friday.
The semis will pit defending champions
and the TNBMHL League Champions KL Hockey club against Sapura while the
other semis will be between Maybank and Tenaga Nasional Berhad.
