KUALA LUMPUR, 20 Feb (Bernama) -- Sebanyak 16 pemain terbaik daripada Kejohanan Bola Sepak Piala Mamee 1Malaysia akan diberi peluang menjalani latihan selama seminggu di Manchester United Soccer School (MUSS) di Old Trafford, England, April ini.

Ketua Pegawai Operasi Yayasan Rakyat 1Malaysia, Ung Su Ling berkata usaha tersebut adalah sebagai menyahut seruan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yang mahu lebih ramai golongan belia diberi peluang menimba pengalaman bersama kelab bola sepak terkemuka di luar negara.

Beliau berkata satu sesi pemilihan akan diadakan pada hari perlawanan akhir kejohanan bawah 19 tahun itu di Stadium Institut Penilaian Negara (Inspen) di Bangi, Selangor, 2 Mac ini.

"Kita akan memanggil seorang bekas jurulatih kebangsaan bagi memilih pemain terbaik menerusi beberapa ujian dari segi kecergasan dan kemahiran," katanya kepada Bernama di sini Khamis.

Di samping menjalani latihan di MUSS, Ung berkata pemain juga berpeluang menyaksikan beberapa perlawanan membabitkan pasukan Manchester United di Stadium Old Trafford nanti.

Selain berpeluang menunjuk bakat bermain bola sepak, para pemain juga berpeluang mengikuti klinik bola sepak bersama bekas lagenda kelab ternama itu Quinton Fortune di sini, 25 Feb ini.

Sementara itu, mengulas lanjut mengenai kejohanan tersebut, Ung berkata tema kejohanan tersebut adalah 'Bukan Hanya Sekadar Piala' mengajak golongan belia bersukan bukan hanya mahu muncul sebagai juara di samping memupuk semangat setiakawan dalam kalangan belia pelbagai kaum di negara ini.

"Kita mendapat sambutan yang amat menggalakkan apabila sebanyak 80 pasukan dari seluruh negara menyertai kejohanan kali pertama ini yang bermula sejak November tahun lepas.

Beliau berkata penonton bertuah yang hadir pada final juga berpeluang untuk merebut jersi yang ditanda tangani penyerang Manchester United, Robin van Persie.

Sebanyak 10 pasukan iaitu juara dan naib juara peringkat zon Utara, Timur, Selatan, Tengah dan Malaysia Timur akan bersaing pada pusingan grand finals selama empat hari mulai Isnin ini manakala final pada 2 Mac ini.

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...
