MUSCAT — Oman suffered yet another big loss in the ongoing Macau International Hockey Tournament yesterday as per the reports received here.

Having lost to South Korea 1-4 after a brilliant and determined performance on Thursday, they found China more tougher than the Koreans as they lost 1-7 after trailing 0-4 at the break.

Oman’s only goal came in the second half from the stick of Basim Khattir as China made merry through- out the match.

China, who have so far inflicted big defeats on their rivals, signalled that one more was in the offing as their agile striker Hu Hui Ren opened the account in the eight minute and then enhanced the lead four minutes later.

As Oman tried to ward off the Chinese forays, the task for the defenders became too difficult. Meng Li Zhi struck the third goal for China in the 24th minute and within five minutes Song Yi pumped in the fourth goal.

The goal glut did not stop there as Hu Hui Ren was once again on target soon oafter resumption in the 39th minute.

Oman, however, did not give up their fight as their hunt for goals gathered momentum and for once in the match the Chinese citadel fell with Basim bang on target in the 47th minute.

However, the Oman defence continued to give away under pressure and He Xu of China struck in the 46th and 62nd minute to complete the tally.

On Thursday, Oman showed better coordination to restrict South Korea to four goals against one. Shin Yong Chul (fifth minute) and Jang Chang Min (12th minute) ensured that Kore led 2-0 at half-time.

After the break, Samir Hulais reduced the margin for Oman in the 44th minute, but South Korea took the match away as Hyun Hye Sung struck in the 49th and 61st minute of play. In the other match yesterday, Singapore were surprisingly held to 1-1 draw by lowly lying hosts Macau, who play Oman in the final league encounter tomorrow.

Both the goals were scored in the first half. Abdul Rahim Mohammed scored for Singapore in the 18th minute, while You Nan equalised for the hosts in the 30th minute.

On Thursday, Japan kept their hopes alive with a 6-1 win over Chinese Taipei.

Japan led 4-1 at half time. Tsai Mingl-Heng struck the first goal as Taipei took the lead, but Japan scored the rest in the match to finish the tally. Scorers for Japan were Kazuo Yoshido, Takahiko Yamabori (two goals), Toshiaki Fukuda, Kazuhior Tsubouchi and Kenichi Katayama.

JAS Motorsport has announced that former BTCC Production Class champion Simon Harrison is to join the team for the final round of the World Touring Car Championship at Macau in November.

Harrison will drive a Honda Accord sponsored by the Noble Group – which also backs a car in the Le Mans Endurance Series – and will partner Adriano De Micheli in a two car assault on the Independents Trophy.

Harrison has previously contested the ETCC in a JAS-made Honda Civic Type-R run by the GR Asia team in 2004 and has past experience of competing in Macau – most notably in 2003 when he qualified in third place before he was dumped out of the race following a collision with Jorg Muller.

"It's a great opportunity to race in Macau with such a competitive car," Harrison said. "I'm very familiar with Honda having already driven here in an Integra Type R DC 5 and I'm sure that with the help of the JAS Team I'll be able to improve my records.

"We will aim to the Independents Trophy, however I would not be surprised to be fighting among the works drivers."
