Cedera himpit skuad takraw


PEMAIN Malaysia, Mohd. Azlan Mubin (kiri) akan menjalani pembedahan lutut kanan yang semestinya memerlukan rehat yang panjang.


KUALA LUMPUR - Usaha untuk memantapkan skuad sepak takraw kebangsaan menjelang Sukan SEA di Laos penghujung tahun ini tampak terjejas setelah dua apit kanannya bakal berehat panjang akibat kecederaan.

Skuad bimbingan Haris Abd. Rahman itu tidak akan dapat menggunakan khidmat pemain apit kanan berpengalaman, Mohd. Azlan Mubin untuk tempoh sekurang-kurangnya setengah tahun.

"Dia baru sahaja menjalani pembedahan di lutut sebelah kiri dan akan menjalani pembedahan untuk lutut kanan dalam masa terdekat yang semestinya memerlukan tempoh rehat yang panjang," katanya di sini, semalam.

Haris berkata, ketika pemain berusia 26 tahun itu mewakili negara pada Sukan Universiti ASEAN bulan lepas, dia telah pun mengalami kecederaan.

"Selain Azlan seorang lagi pemain apit kanan yang juga saya anggap sebagai 'killer' yang berpotensi ialah Helmi Heri yang mengalami kecederaan buku lali yang memerlukan rehat sekurang-kurangnya empat bulan," ujarnya.

Haris berkata, ketiadaan dua pemain utama itu bagaimanapun tidak mematahkan semangatnya untuk melatih pemain lain untuk bermain di posisi itu, dengan tujuh pemain kini giat menjalani latihan di kompleks Majlis Sukan Negara, Keramat.

Mengenai sasaran Persatuan Sepaktakraw Malaysia (PSM) untuk memenangi sekurang- kurangnya satu pingat emas di Sukan SEA Laos, Haris menjelaskan, perkara itu boleh direalisasikan jika tiada sebarang kecederaan dialami pemain.

Bagi program tahun ini, skuad kebangsaan akan memulakan perlawanan ujian dengan kelab di seluruh negara selama dua hari bermula Sabtu depan dengan lebih 20 pasukan telah mengesahkan penyertaan.

Selepas itu, mereka akan menyertai Kejohanan Jemputan Piala Pusingan Tuanku Raja Muda Perlis pada 6 hingga 8 Februari ini.

"Kejohanan di Perlis bakal menguji pemain-pemain kita kerana terdapat beberapa kelab dari Thailand akan menyertai pertandingan itu," katanya. - Bernama

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
