The newcomers are a much better side than the BJSS Juniors and three points are as good as in the bag, only the margin will be decided after 70 minutes.
“First of all I would like to say that this is turning out to be the most interesting JHL after many years. Unlike previous seasons, it is difficult to predict the winner and there are many talented players spread out among teams and they can turn the tide if given half a chance,” said UniKL coach I. Vickneswaran.
UniKL, Bandar Penawar Sports School Thunderbolt and Bukit Jalil Sports School are in a tight 12-point joint lead and only separated by goals scored.
“I will plan for three points against BJSS Juniors but will not place undue pressure on my strikers to pile up the goals even though it looks like goals scored could decide who lifts the title,” said Vickneswaran.
Thunderbolt and BJSS take a break today, and UniKL will rule the standings for at least until the next weekend.
