UNIKL win, barely...

UNIKL played well below par, but still managed to beat Petaling Jaya City Council 2-1 in Division One of the MHF-NSC-Milo Junior Hockey League at the Tun Razak Stadium yesterday.
It was an important win, as UniKL's challenges to the League title Bukit Jalil and Bandar Penawar Sports Schools had also beaten PJCC.
"It was a slow match, as we held back because we have another match to play tomorrow (today, against Anderson).
"I saw no poit in pushing the players to the maximum as we only need to keep on winning and that will keep the League title in sight," said UniKL coach Matthew Ling.
There were many chances for PJCC to equalise, and also seal the match, but they hit the post twice instead, and missed many sitters.
UniKL took the lead off Zulhairi Hashim in the 12th minute, while Azri Hassan made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute.
PJCC made a late fight-back and were rewarded with one goal when Ibnu Fata scored off a field attempt.
Today, BPSS and BJSS will square off, and the winner will place one hand on the League title.

RESULTS -- Division One: Petaling Jaya CC 1 UniKL 2, Ipoh Juniors 3 Kelantan 2.
Division Two (Group A): Datuk Taha 0 Politeknik KPT 0.
