BJSS Labour Through

BUKIT Jalil Sports School (BJSS) were far from impressive but still beat Ipoh Juniors 2-0 in a MHF-NSC-Milo Junior Hockey League Division One match at the Ministry of Education Stadium yesterday.
The match was scrappy, and Ipoh were equally guilty for not utilising their midfield, relying heavily on overhead balls.

"Not good, but still better than our opening match against Petaling Jaya (City Council which BJSS won 2-1) as my boys kept up the pace even though the match was played in scorching heat," said BJSS coach S. Prakash.

Prakash felt that playing at 4.30pm is a bad idea and will make a request to the Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) to play at a later time.

"The weather was fine last week but just when the JHL started it turned hot in the evenings, so playing at 4.30pm is not a good idea.

"I will make a request to MHF and hopefully, they will amend the fixtures," said Prakash.
Almost all JHL matches have been slated to start at 4.30pm because the lighting system at some of the stadiums are not up to mark.

The BJSS goals were scored by Ahmed Iqwan (fifth) and Haziq Samsul (49th).

In another Division One match, Bandar Penawar Sports School (BPSS) hammered Petaling Jaya CC 5-1 at the Taman Daya Stadium in Johor Baru.

The BPSS goals were scored by hat-trick hero Firhan Ashaari (21st, 40th, 51st), Shahrusahadan Basri (12th) and Shahril Saabah (50th).

The PJCC scorer was Fata Mutalib (25th).

In a another Division One match at the Terengganu pitch, Kelantan held Anderson 3-3.

Kelantan scored through Cik Rosmadi Rasol (sixth), Hanif Ropi (37th) and Faiz Haiqal (50th), while the Anderson scorers were Ashran Hamsani (eighth), Husaini Husin (13th) and Ashran Hamsani (64th).

RESULTS -- Division One: BPSS 5 Petaling Jaya CC 1, BJSS 2 Ipoh Juniors 0, UniKL 6 BJSS Juniors 0, Kelantan 3 Anderson 3, Pahang 1 BPSS Juniors 3.

Division Two -- Group A: Matri 0 Datuk Taha 1; Group B: Olak-PKT 1 Perlis 1.
