KUCHING, July 24: Kuching South City Council (MBKS) is calling for entries to participate in its Kuching Festival Under-23 Hockey Tournament on Aug 24-25.

The tournament organised in collaboration with the Hockey Association Sarawak at the Sarawak Hockey Stadium, Jalan Padungan, here, is open to seven-a-side girls and six-a-side boys.

All teams and players from across the country are welcome to participate. One team can only register up to a maximum of nine players for girls and eight players for boys in their respective categories.

“The objective of this tournament is to promote community participation, especially youths, in physical and leisure activities in order to stay active and healthy,” MBKS said in a statement.

Due to limited number of matches played for the two-day tournament, the organisers only accept limited number of entries, it added.

The entry fee is RM50 per team and those interested are required to submit their entry forms early to avoid disappointment.

Submission for participation will close at 4pm on Aug 18 (Sunday).

“On the same day and time, all team managers are required to attend a meeting at the conference room of the Sarawak Hockey Stadium,” MBKS said.

Exciting prizes including cash, trophies and medals await the winners.

Entry forms can be obtained from Suny Roy of MBKS by contacting 016-8666609 or Kangot Awan of the Sarawak Hockey Association at 013-8212058. — DayakDaily
