Sapura reject request to play in Penang

KUALA LUMPUR, (Stadiumastro) - Nur Insafi have requested for one leg of their Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) Premier Division quarterfinals to be played in Penang.

However, their quarterfinal opponent Sapura have already rejected the request. The decision is now in the hands of the MHF.

Sapura team manager Abdulah Yunus said Nur Insafi did not protest during the team manager's meeting when the decision for all matches to be played in Kuala Lumpur was decided.

Abdulah added that travelling to Penang after playing the first leg will be a big disadvantage to his team.

Nur Insafi club president S. Thaitchana said that if their request is denied by the MHF, they will concede a walkover.
