UniKL in 'scary form'

FROM NEW STRAITS TIMES

By: Jugjet Singh

UNIKL, with 13 juniors on their team, are expected to continue their march in Division One of the MHF-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League when they square off against Petaling Jaya City Council (PJCC) today.

The fact that UniKL hammered Anderson 6-1 on Friday is set to send shivers down the spines of PJCC players, as they had lost 2-0 to Anderson.

"Even though we hammered a team which had beaten PJCC, we will have to play consistent hockey for 70 minutes and only then rate our opponent today," said UniKL coach I. Vickneswaran.

UniKL share nine points with Anderson on the Division One standings, but they have only played three matches while Anderson four.

And if UniKL continue their winning streak today, they only have Bukit Jalil Sports School and Bandar Penawar Sports School-Thunderbolt to beat before they can unofficially claim the Division One title in their maiden JHL outing.

TODAY -- Division One: Bukit Jalil v Anderson (KLHA Stadium, 3pm), Thunderbolt v Kelantan (Bandar Penawar, 5pm), UniKL v Petaling Jaya CC (KLHA Stadium, 5pm).

Division Two: Datuk Taha v Johor (Tampin, 5pm), Pahang v Matri (Kuantan, 5pm).
