KUALA LUMPUR: Penang girls will defend their National Under-16 title against Negri Sembilan at the National Hockey Stadium tomorrow.
Penang hammered Perak 6-0 in the semi-finals today while Negri beat Melaka 3-1.
Penang coach Leo Vincey said they will also field this Under-16 team for this season's Junior Hockey League (JHL) while their second set of players will form a second team.
"It was a comprehensive win in the semi-finals, and we are one match away from defending our title won before the MCO (Movement Control Order).
