Hockey: BPSS Show BJSS Who's Boss

BANDAR Penawar Sports School (BPSS) won the battle of sports schools when they easily side-stepped Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) 3-1 in Division One of the MHF-NSC-Milo Junior Hockey League at the Ministry of Education stadium yesterday.

The win was a relief for BPSS coach Wan Roslan, who declared that one tough hurdle was cleared on their path to the League title.

"This was a very important win, as it took out one strong title contender out of our path and now we only have UniKL to beat before making a home run," said Wan Roslan.

BJSS were guilty of bungling five penalty corners, while BPSS sent the only one they received in 70 minutes high into the netting.
"We knew their penalty corner variations, and defended well. That was a turning point in the match, as BJSS players started to get frustrated when they failed to score from penalty corners," said Wan Roslan.

BJSS coach S. Prakash conceded that his players were out-foxed in the penalty corners.

"Four former BJSS players are now with BPSS, and they knew exactly how to stop our penalty corner variations. Also, most of the BPSS boys are Project players, and it was uphill for my players from the start," said Prakash.

The BPSS goals were scored by Shahril Saabah (13th), Syafik Nordin (22nd) and Hairulnizam Maizan (58th).

The BJSS goal was scored by Karvin Kartik off a penalty stroke in the 33rd minute.

In another Division One match, UniKL kept the title in sight when they hammered Anderson 10-0. The UniKL goals were scored by Shamin Yusof (fourth, 70th), Nor Aqmal Ghaffar (21st), Syafiq Zulzairin (29th), Izad Hakimi (45th, 47th), Zulhairi Hashim (45th, 62nd), Hafiz Zainol (51st), Rashid Baharom (58th).
