KUALA LUMPUR: It will be a crucial weekend for double champions Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) in Division One of the MHF-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League (MJHL).
BJSS have two tough matches – against former champions Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) today and against title favourites and leaders UniKL on Sunday. Both matches will be played at the Tun Razak Stadium.
BJSS have maximum points from four matches in the nine-team competition. UniKL also have maximum points but they have played five matches.
“Anything less than a win in the two matches could affect their hopes to of retaining the league title,” said BJSS coach S. Prakash.
He added that he was concerned over the scoring ability of forward Dangerous Lee, who is a member of the Project 2013 squad.
“Last year, he scored 13 goals for us in the league but this year he has only managed to score one in four matches.” Prakash conceded that they would face their toughest test against UniKL.
“UniKL are overall a solid team with the services of 10 Project 2013 players and we will start as the underdogs,” he said.
Meanwhile, the match between BJSS Juniors and Bandar Penawar Sports School (BPSS)-Thunderbolt at the Kuala Lumpur Hockey Stadium on Friday has been postponed because of upgrading works at the stadium. The match will be played at the same venue on May 21.
