Hockey: SMK Anderson thrash Malacca High School

KANGAR: Former champions SMK Anderson signalled their return to form in the MHF-Milo Champion Schools hockey tournament when they sent defending champions Malacca High School crashing to a 3-1 defeat in the opening Group A match at the Perlis Sports Complex here Friday. The Anderson schools had won the title 10 times but were sent packing in the quarterfinals last year. They now have a leg in the quarterfinals. It was a bitter blow for the champions as they were hoping for a good start. They now face Terengganu’s SMK Padang Midin on Saturday.

Padang Midin is also one of the early title contenders and Malacca High now face the prospect of going home after just two days of competition.
