Kuala Lumpur (9 January, 2019): Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) move into top gear for the block buster thriller 2019 MHL Charity Shield match against Terengganu Hockey Team (THT) at the Batu Buruk Hockey Stadium on Jan 11 with the arrival of three of their six foreign signings tomorrow.

Irish goalkeeper David Harte, Australian Kieran Govers and Dutchman Martin Havenga are scheduled to touch down at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in the evening whilst two others – Robert Kemperman and Valentin Verga, also from Holland, will arrive a day later.

Kemperman, Verga and Harte competed in the recent World Cup at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, India. Another Australian, Timothy James Deavin, arrived last week and played in the Tan Sri P. Alagendra Cup.

“Having a full team makes a lot of difference especially against strong team such as THT. It also allows us to make rolling substitutions. We could not do that in the Alagendra Cup as we had only 14 players,” said UniKL head coach Arul Selvaraj.

“It is going to be interesting. The good side is David Harte is in goal and he played last year. Govers and Deavin were also in the team earlier. So there is a great understanding amongst them in our playing structure.
