Sports Schools’ Juniors Carve Out Convincing Wins

KUALA LUMPUR: The two junior teams of the national sports schools carved out victories in Division One of the Malaysia Junior Hockey League (MJHL) yesterday to stay in the loop for a top-six finish.

The Bandar Penawar (BPSS) juniors came back from a two-goal deficit to beat Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) 4-2 at the Taman Daya Hockey Stadium in Johor Baru.

And the Bukit Jalil (BJSS) juniors defeated MSS Pahang 3-1 at the Education Ministry Turf here to notch their first win in the competition.

Former national schools champions Anderson was also in a winning mood as they saw off the challenge from Ipoh City Council with a 2-1 victory at the Sultan Azlan Shah Stadium in Ipoh.

BPSS Juniors are in fourth place in the standings with nine points after five matches. Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) lead on 12 points, ahead of BPSS-Thunderbolt on goal difference. BJSS are in third place. The three teams did not have a game yesterday.

MBPJ have now gone four matches without a win and they are virtually out of contention for a place in the knockout stage.

Harmesh Singh opened the scoring for the PJ side against BPSS Juniors in the 12th minute and Mohamed Hanif increased the lead in the 33rd minute.

BPSS Juniors hit back with goals by Mohamed Amirol Aideed (45th), Mohamed Sufi Ismat (46th), Azmi Deraman (52nd) and Fahmi Zulhelmi (59th).

BJSS Juniors also had some resistance from MSS Pahang in the early stages before taking full points.
Their goal scorers were Zizi Azwan (28th), Norshafiq Sumantri (50th) and Mohamed Zulhziq (63rd) while Mohamed Fahmy Abdullah scored MSS Pahang goal in the 48th minute.

Anderson also scored a come-from-behind win. Ipoh CC led through a penalty corner goal by Mohamed Nidzam in the 33rd minute. But N. Kartigaan and Mohamed Ashran struck for Anderson with field goals in the 43rd and 60th minutes respectively.
