For SK Gual To'Deh, this championship marked a significant milestone as it was the school’s first participation in a hockey tournament of this scale. The involvement was primarily aimed at providing early exposure to students, allowing them to experience real competitive play and develop confidence in their abilities. Although the team faced strong opponents from more experienced schools, their participation itself was a valuable learning opportunity.

A key factor that enabled SK Gual To'Deh to join the tournament was the support received from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), which had contributed hockey equipment to the school. This sponsorship played an essential role in nurturing students’ interest in the sport and promoting active participation in co-curricular activities. With proper equipment, students were able to train more effectively and gain basic technical skills prior to the competition.

Throughout the championship, the players from SK Gual To'Deh showed great enthusiasm, discipline, and teamwork despite being newcomers. Their determination to compete and learn reflected the positive impact of exposure-based participation in sports. Teachers and coaches also played an important role in guiding and motivating the students throughout the event.

In conclusion, the Kelantan 9-a-Side Hockey Championship served not only as a platform for competition but also as a meaningful experience for young players to grow and develop. For SK Gual To'Deh, this first participation marks the beginning of a promising journey in hockey, with hopes of achieving greater success in future tournaments.
