UUM To Play Kedah Tunas Cemerlang

The Northern Warriors is scheduled to play the Kedah Tunas Cemerlang (U18) team on Tuesday, March 17th, 2009 at the UUM 'B' field at 5.00pm. The coaches will use this match to evaluate the performance of several potential players to be listed in the 2nd stage of selection preparing for the IMT-GT Games.
Basically, several players had been identified and will most probably be the key figures in the team. However the main obstacle for the coaches in putting up a formidable side is the inavailability or players due to their classes and other commitments related to their studies. As for the Tuesday's match, the coaches will most likely try out the combination of several players who missed the match against UniMAP last Tuesday.
