Perak State Fully Residential School Hockey Tournament 2025

18 May 2025

What happens when discipline meets determination, when teamwork is forged through shared purpose, and when young men play not just to win—but to represent?

The Perak State Fully Residential School Hockey Tournament 2025 was held from 16 to 18 May at the Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah (USAS) Turf, marking the second consecutive year this venue hosted the prestigious event. Seven fully residential schools took part—MCKK, SABDA, SEMESTI, SESTA, IGOP, STAR, and SERATAS—all united by a common goal: to bring their best to the field.

The tournament began in earnest on 17 May, and it was MCKK who had the honour of playing the first match of the day. In the cool morning air, our team delivered a confident 3-0 victory against SESTA, setting the tone for the day. Later, under the intense afternoon heat, they returned to the turf and secured a second triumph—2-0 against SABDA. Two matches, two clean sheets, and a place at the top of Group A.

On 18 May, the semi-final clash against SERATAS proved a close contest. With composure and tactical discipline, MCKK edged through with a 1-0 win—securing a spot in the final. The concluding match saw our team face STAR, where despite a commendable effort and unwavering spirit, MCKK fell 0-4 to a strong opponent.

We emerged as First Runner-Up of the tournament, a result that reflects both the quality of our gameplay and the strength of our unity. Adding to this achievement, our goalkeeper was named Best Goalkeeper of the Tournament—a well-deserved recognition of skill, focus, and leadership from the backline.

There may be moments when the scoreboard favours another, but the journey, the discipline, and the pride we carry remain resolutely ours.

Because in every game we play, we honour the name.
We uphold excellence. We grow stronger together. We carry Koleq forward.
