All Over For Former Champs Bandar Penawar In U14 Melc

It is all over for former champions Bandar Penawar Sports School of Johor as they wave goodbye to their semi-finals aspiration in the Under-14 Minister of Education League Cup (MELC) following their drab 1-1 draw against SMK Seri Titiwangsa of Wilayah Persekutuan yesterday.

Now known as SSM Tunku Mahkota Ismail, the winners in 2009, have been struggling all throughout the current season where they have only picked up 15 points from 12 matches to be placed fourth in Group B.

"It is all over for us but we are looking at the bigger picture here to the exposure gained by these batch of Form 1 players playing in a tournament an age-group higher than them," said Ahmad Yasser Arafat, the chief coach of SSM Tunku Mahkota Ismail.
