UNIKL are not worried about their weekend opponents, just how many goals can they score in Division One of the MHF-NSC-Milo Junior Hockey League.The Overall champions will play Pahang today in Kuantan, and it should be a walk in the park. After that, they travel to Terengganu to play Kelantan, which should provide them with more goals.
“We have two easy matches this weekend, and losing is out of the question. We aim to score as many goals as possible, as we play our toughest opponents at the tail-end of the League,” said UniKL coach S. Velappan.
Velappan, who coaches Maybank in the Malaysia Hockey League, feels Bukit Jalil and Bandar Penawar Sports Schools are the only ones who can give them a fight.
“We play both the sports schools at the end of our fixtures, and that is why we need to pile up the goals, which might come in handy if we end up tied on points,” said Velappan.
While BJSS have lost a match, last season’s League champions BPSS have the capabilities to shatter UniKL’s double dream, as they almost eliminated BJSS from the League race by beating them 3-1 last week.
