Debutants UniKL hammered former champions Anderson 6-1 at the Kuala Lumpur Hockey Stadium yesterday to regain top spot in the MHF-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League (MJHL) Division One standings.
It was the third consecutive win for UniKL, who have scored a total of 16 goals and conceded only three.
For Anderson, it was their first defeat in four matches. Both team are tied on nine points but UniKL have the better goal difference.
Mohd Aminuddin Abu (3rd, 43rd) and Mohd Sabri Mohamed (13rd, 40th) scored a brace each and the other goals came from Manraj Singh (6th) and Mohd Syamin Mohd Yusof (66th). Anderson’s goal was scored by Mohd Firdaus Sidek (29th).
Coach I. Vickneswaran felt that his team should have won by a wider margin.
“The forwards missed a few sitters and this does not augur well for a team who have 10 players from the national 2013 Project squad. We have to work on the finishing as there are three very tough opponents for us to deal with in the league,” he said.
UniKL have yet to play against double champions Bukit Jalil Sports Schol (BJSS), Bandar Penawar Sports School (BPSS)-Thunderbolt and Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ).
Anderson coach Mokhtar Baharuddin said that there were many weaknesses in his side.
“We lost by a big margin because the team made many defensive errors and the players were also not that fit,” he said.
