SJK (T) Pulau Carey Barat can be proud of their track record in the Kuala Langat District Sports Council (MSSDKL) hockey competition.
They continued their dominance by winning the boys’ Under-12 title for the fourth year and the girls’ Under-12 title for the second season.
The boys defeated SK SiJangkang 3-0 in the final while the girls scored a convincing 7-0 win over their counterparts from SJK (T) Teluk Panglima Garang.
Players from the school also won the individual awards. S. Vikraman was voted as the Most Promising Player in the boys’ category while P. Balamanimaran was the Top Scorer and N. Durgadass bagged the Best Player award.
We rule: The players and teachers with the trophies they had won.
In the girls section, the Top Scorer award went to S. Keerthana while Most Promising Player went to V. Annaletchumy. G. Ruba and P. Ponmalar won the Best Player Best Goalkeeper awards respectively.
SJK (T) Pulau Carey Barat coach M. Ananthan said 18 players – nine boys and nine girls – from the school have been selected to represent Kuala Langat in the Selangor Schools Sports Council (MSSS) hockey championships at the Pandamaran Hockey Stadium in Klang from May 3-7.
“It is a big achievement for the school. Most of the players come from a poor background but we have managed to get them interested in hockey. The school’s headmaster (G. Selvarajoo) has been very supportive of the hockey training programme,’’ said Ananthan.
Ananthan, who has been heading the training programme for the past six years, has two capable assistants in N. Ramasamy and M. Kumaresan.
Although training sessions are held twice a week, the sessions are more during the competition season.
For this year’s competition, SJK(T) Pulau Carey Barat started training in January. But the training sessions are held at an open field.
“We are not in a position to train on turf. The nearest turf is in Klang and we have to look for transport. It is too costly and something beyond the school’s means. But the pupils’ enthusiasm and commitment has motivated us in making the hockey programme a success,’’ said Ananthan.
SJK (T) Pulau Carey Barat is also the feeder school to SMK Pulau Carey who dominated the Under-18 age group in the MSSDKL hockey championships.
SMK Pulau Carey was the girls’ Under-18 champion and third in the boys’ category in the MSSDKL championship this year.
Ananthan said they would continue their weekly training sessions.
“We will focus on the Year Five and Year Four pupils. We want to continue our winning ways in the championship. We encourage the pupils to be involved in healthy activities,’’ said Ananthan.
