Pre- SEA Games Update

I received a report from Mr. Ng Num Thiam who is the current Malaysian National Coach and also secretary of the MAHA ( Malaysian Amateur Handball Association ).


"Subjek: Result of Pre-SEA Games handball competition with Thailand from 15-16 June 2007

Good news from the Malaysia handball men's team in Thailand! The Pre-SEA Games handball competition with Thailand team in Bangkok yesterday gave us a high sprit of "Malaysia Boleh" when the men's team thrashed the Thai national team with a score of 41-22.
A total of 17 players and 2 officers headed by national handball coach, Mr.Ng Num Thiam, and team manager, Mr. Wong Yung Seng, said the team had been formed since last year's national handball league and national handball championship.From the 17 players took part in the Pre-SEA games competition, 80% are new faces, only 3 players from the last Vietnam SEA Games remain in the squad.
According to Mr.Ng, the players are under the 2nd phase of training now interverly on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at OCM/NSI.
The top scorers in yesterday matches were Ler Thiam Huat, Liang Gin Hua, Toh Yip Fatt and Muhd Khairul Hafidzin Wahab where each of them scored 8 goals each.The 2 goalkeepers also performed well were Raymond Tan Chiau Hee and Teh Hup Heng.
The second matches was played this morning with the score of 34-17, also won by Malaysian team.Our players were given the opportunity to try at various position with strategies that will be used during the coming SEA games in December.
We had observed the strong and weak points of the oppornent and will correct our weak points as well.Hopefully this early matches can inspire and give us a high moral support to our teams that had targeted to go into the final in the SEA games 2007 in Bangkok.
The next pre-SEA Games matches will be with the Singapore teams on 8 July 2007.Good luck Malaysia.
NG NUM THIAM
National handball coach. "


Blogger's note :

I wasn't there to watch the match. So I can't comment. But if this is a gauge of what is to come, I would say the the Malaysian team has improved much.

Will put up more when I am updated.

Players that play in the M'sia Leagues range from about 18 years of age to about 35 years. There is also a team of ex-pats ( whom I join when I have the time ) that participate in the league.

M'sian handball is still very much in its developing stage. The style of play is at the most nearer the lower levels of any European country.

Would you be back in Malaysia? If it is ok to ask, what level of handball have you been playing at? I'm sure your experience playing in Switzerland for so long would already mean a lot.
