Penalty corners could decide title

PENALTY corners could decide which sports school win the Malaysia Hockey
League (MHL) under-19 overall title on Sunday at the National Hockey
Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) have Dangerous Lee, while Bandar
Penawar Sports School (BPSS) boast of Amir Farid. Both of them have
scored 13 goals.
The top-scorer at present on 14 goals is K. Satesh of Division Three
club Nur Insafi but he could be toppled by either of the sports school
flickers.
"It was good that the final has been postponed from Wednesday to
Sunday, as we will have more time to practise set-pieces and penalty
corner flicks.
"My defenders must not give away unnecessary penalty corners, because
BPSS have a good conversion rate. We will be looking for penalty corners
when we enter the semi-circle, as we have a good flicker as well," said
BJSS coach S. Prakash.
SUNDAY: Final - Bukit Jalil Sports School v Bandar Penawar Sports
School (National Stadium Pitch II, 5pm); Third-Fourth: Tenaga Nasional v
Petaling Jaya City Council (National Stadium Pitch II, 3pm).
