KUALA LUMPUR: Defending champions Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) continued with their cautious approach in Division One of the MHF-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League (MJHL), beating Bandar Penawar SS Juniors 2-0 at the Bandar Penawar Hockey Stadium yesterday.
BJSS lead a group of three other teams in making a winning start to their league campaign. BPSS-Thunderbolt, Anderson and Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) were the other teams in the top division to record their second win.
BPSS-Thunderbolt were 4-1 winners over Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) while Anderson survived a late scare to score a last-minute goal for a 3-2 win over the national women’s team in Ipoh.
At the Kuala Terengganu Hockey Stadium, newcomers UniKL thrashed MSS Kelantan 7-1.
BJSS, in their win over BPSS Juniors, scored a penalty-corner goal through Kavin Kartik in the 35th minute and Mohamed Redzhwan Jaafar sealed the win with a field attempt in the 58th minute.
BJSS coach S. Prakash said that the main objective was to collect full points.
“BPSS Juniors put up a good fight and I am glad that our players were able to stand their ground,” he said.
“We had the better of the chances and also more penalty corners today. The scoring rate was not good but we were more concerned about gaining three points.
“We have some work to do and we will get it done as we move along. There are tougher matches to come.”
At the Tun Razak Stadium in KL, heavy rain in the second half did not dampen the spirit of the BPSS-Thunderbolt team.
Mohamed Firhan Ashari scored a brace in the 57th and 59th minutes. Earlier, the Saari brothers, Fitri and Faisal, were on target in the 12th and 40th minutes respectively. MBPJ’s solitary goal was scored by Mohamed Rashid Baharom in the 28th minute.
The national women’s team were just three minutes from earning a draw against Anderson.
The Ipoh side took the lead with two quick strikes by forward Mohamed Soffian Kamaruddin in the 31st and 32nd minutes.
But the girls fought back and Siti Noor Amarina got the first goal in the 51st minute.
Then Fazila Silin equalised in the 67th minute off a penalty corner.
And Jasdev Singh converted a penalty corner to give Anderson full points.
In Kuala Terengganu, the MSS Kelantan team led with a 19th minute goal by Kamarul Azwan Abdul Rahman.
But a minute later, UniKL were back on level terms with a goal by Mohamed Sabri Mohamed. The forward went on to claim a hat-trick with goals in the 26th and 52nd minutes.
