HOCKEY: BJSS Take The Bronze

BUKIT Jalil Sports School (BJSS) salvaged some pride when they beat MBI Anderson 3-1 in a six-minute goal blitz at the Azlan Shah Stadium in Ipoh yesterday.

Incidentally, BJSS also beat the Ipoh side with the same score in their League encounter in Division One.

However, the premier sports school in the country were shocked in the 37th minute when Akmal Tajuddin scored off a reverse stick effort to give Anderson the lead.

But they kept their composure, and scored three goals in six minutes when Shahiram Zali equalised in the 54th with a field goal, and three minutes later took the lead off a penalty corner attempt from Nik Aiman Nik Rozemi before Zizi Azwan scored from top of the semi-circle in the 60th to hand his school the bronze medal.

BJSS collected RM12,000 for finishing third while MBI-Anderson received RM10,000.

The match was played on the recently laid blue artificial pitch which will also be the colour of the London Olympics pitch. Also, a yellow ball will be used for the first time in the Olympics.
