JHL: SSTMI Thunderbolts hammer OLAK 5-0

KUALA LUMPUR: Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sports School (SSTMI) Thunderbolts demolished Old La Sallians Association of KLang (Olak) 5-0 in Division One of the Junior Hockey League (JHL) in Pandamaran yesterday.
  The win saw SSTMI Thunderbolts consolidate their League title quest, as at this stage, they have 21 points from seven matches with two 'easy' matches to play.
  As for winless Olak, they are in danger of being relegated to Division Two next season together with Perlis Young Lions who also have yet to win or draw a match.
  Two teams from Division One will be relegated, while two teams from Division Two will be promoted at the end of the JHL.
  SSTMI scored all five goals in the first half off Akhimullah Anuar Esook (second, 18th, 34th), Shello Silverius (17th) and Shahrin Izzuddin (27th).
  "Realistically, the League title is ours to lose as we have opened up a huge lead from our nearest challenger Anderson (eight points). And I don't see my players losing to Perlis Young Lions on Sunday to give Anderson a chance to catch up," said SSTMI Thunderbolts coach Wan Roslan Wan Rahman.
  Mathematically, SSTMI are the League champions at this stage and even their last match against Petaling Jaya City Council (PJCC) Tigers should be a walk in the park.
  RESULTS: Division One -- Sabah SS Resilient 4 Pahang SS Thunderbolts 1, Bukit Jalil SS Thunderbolts 6 Perlis Young Lions 1, Old La Sallians Association Klang 0 SSTMI Thunderbolts 5.
  Division Two: Group A -- MBMB Warriors 8 SSN Young LIons Jr 0; Group B: SMS Sains Batu Pahat 1 SMKGR Boys 3, BJSS Juniors 1 MSSP Stinger 1; Group C: SMK Zaaba 18 SMK Bandar Seri Putra 0.

SSTMI Thunderbolts too strong for OLAK

KUALA LUMPUR: Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sports School (SSTMI) Thunderbolts are expected to claim a comfortable victory over Old La Sallians Association Klang (Olak) in Division One of the Junior Hockey League at the Pandamaran Stadium today.
  Only the score is yet to be determined.
  SSTMI Thunderbolts are champions elect, as they have beaten all the tough teams and their final three matches are just to complete the fixtures before they can lay their hands on the League title.
  The Johor Sports School is sitting pretty with 18 points from six matches while their nearest rival is Anderson Thunderbolts who has 13 points after six games.
  And there is no way that SSTMI is going to lose their next three matches, against lightweights, and allow Anderson to pip them to the title.
  "We have beaten the three tough teams in Division One (Anderson, Bukit Jalil Sports School and Pahang Sports School) and I believe my players will not disappoint against Olak tomorrow (Friday), followed by PJCC (Petaling Jaya) and Perlis (Young Lions).
  "We need to take control of the Olak game early, to make our work much easier," said SSTMI coach Wan Roslan Wan Rahman.
   And while SSTMI has yet to lose or draw a game, bottom of the table Olak has lost all five matches and let in a total of 30 goals and scored only three.
  FRIDAY: Division One -- Sabah SS Resilient v Pahang SS Thunderbolts (Likas, 4pm), Bukit Jalil SS Thunderbolts v Perlis Young Lions (KLHA, 5pm), Old La Sallians Association Klang v SSTMI Thunderbolts (Pandamaran, 5pm).
  Division Two: Group A -- MBMB Warriors v SSN Young LIons Jr (Malacca, 5pm); Group B: SMS ains Batu Pahat v SMKGR Boys (Batu Pahat, 5pm), BJSS Juniors v MSSP Stinger (Ministry of Education, 5pm); Group C: Sabah Jr v Andwerson (KLHA, 7pm), SMK Zaaba v SMK Bandar Seri Putra (Zaaba, 7pm).
  SUNDAY: Division One -- Sabah SS Resilient v PJCC Tigers (Likas, 4pm), SSTMI v SMKDBL UniKL v (SSTMI, 4pm), Anderson Thunderbolts v Old La Sallians Association Klang (Azlan Shah, 5pm), Pahang SS Thunderbolts v Bukit Jalil SS Thunderbolts (National Stadium, 8pm), SSTMI Thunderbolts v Perlis Young Lions (SSTMI, 6pm).

Pahang blast OLAK 5-1

KUALA LUMPUR: Pahang Sports School (AHP-SSP) Thunderbolts blasted Old La Sallians Association of Klang (Olak) 5-1 in Division One of the Junior Hockey League in Kuantan yesterday.
  The win saw Pahang SS remain second on the standings, and their only blemish in the JHL a 5-0 defeat to current leaders Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sports School (SSTMI) Thunderbolts.
  Olak drew first blood in the seventh minute off Irfan Haiqal, but that was all they had to show.
  Pahang SS clawed back into the game with a 14th minute goal from  
Haqif Aiman, while the other four goals were scored by Syawal Razak (20th), Shafiq Ikhmal (23rd), Firdaus Rosdi (43rd), Syawal Razak (50th).
  Pahang SS coach Sufian Mohamed said Olak managed to score before his players could settle down.
  "Even though we played at out own backyard (Wisma Belia Stadium), my players could not settle down early and made many mistakes which resulted in the goal.
  "But once they took control of the match the goals came in easy," said Sufian a former national player.
  Pahang will next travel to Likas and play with Sabah Sports School Resilient on Friday.
  "We will be playing at a 'foreign' venue and so the team willa arrive in Sabah early to get used to the field. We will be in Sabah Wednesday, have a feel of the pitch on Thursday to be ready for another three points," said Sufian.
  RESULTS: BOYS' Division One: SSMS Resilient 0 SMKDBL-UniKL 1, Anderson Thunderbolts 3 SSTMI 0, AHP-SSP- Thunderbolts 5 Olak 1.

UNDER 16- Pahang Girls Come lately

KUALA LUMPUR: Pahang girls had to bring out their best to beat Terengganu 2-1 in the medal round of the National Under-16 tournament at the National hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil Thursday.
  In the other group, a second minute strike by Nur Ainaa Rahim was enough for Kuala Lumpur to beat Johor 1-0.
   Terengganu took the lead off Nur Nazurah Razali in the second minute, but Pahang fought back and equalised in the 51st minute off Zati Alyani Zubir and the winner was scored 20 seconds from end by Nur Shazwani Zakaria.

  Pahang coach Sabri Mohamad said it was a jittery start, and luckly his girls scored a last minute goal.
  "We have never played in the medal rounds of the National Under-16 so I believe my girls were jittery today," said Sabri.
  "But after the second half, there was better effort from them and we manged to pull a 'rabbit out of the hat' in the dying seconds.
  "Now, we aim to beat Sabah to play in the final," said Sabri.
  Last year, Pahang finished seventh while in it was a miserable 11th in 2015.
