Singapore Men's Hockey Coach Quits

I chose this article because when I 'm looking for the news about sport in Singapore, and I found this. There are bad news and good news for Singapore men's hockey. It was very unfaired for the Singapore hockey coach.

The news said about The Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) had changed their decision. They allowed the republic's hockey men to play at the Guangzhou from Nov 12 to 27. But the bad news is Lim Chiow Chaun, the coach who brought the men to 2nd spot in the seven team Asian games qualifiers in Dhaka. He resigned from Singapore men's hockey because he was dissappointed that SNOC decided not to send the hockey team to the Asian Games before. Now, SNOC changed decision too late because Lim Chiow Chaun already accepted offer from Malaysia. Before he will leave, he said "My wish for Singapore hockey is that they get more funding and that hockey players carry on in the sport."

In my opinion, I think this news was sad and happy for the hockey men in the same time. SNOC had changed their decision too slow, if I am Lim I will leave too because it looks SNOC don't see the important of them, so if the hockey men don't success in the Asian Games, it must blame on SNOC.

  1. This is pretty good! However, you do need to provide a link to the story so I can judge if you have summarized it accurately. You did provide the basic structure I have asked for, but I would have been extra pleased if you had told me why you had chosen a story about hockey. Not many Thais know about this sport ...
