BJSS looking forward to Army assault

BUKIT Jalil Sports School (BJSS) coach S. Prakash is looking forward to the tough encounters against Army sides in Division One of the Malaysia Hockey League.

Prakash feels his charges, who are mainly Under-17 boys, need tough matches, to turn the schoolboys into men.
"We will be playing a university side (UNIMAP) tomorrow (today) and I expect it to be a good exposure for my young side.
"However, the plus point for us in Division One this season is that we will get a chance to play many Army outfits, who are always hardworking and robust, and it will do us good in the long run," said Prakash.
Armed Forces Airod, Armed Forces Juniors, Dolphins and Air Force are the military teams who BJSS would cherish to play against.
"The university sides (UNIMAP and UiTM), based from past experiences are normally not tactically sound, but I can't comment much at this stage, as I have yet to see them play this season."
BJSS came back from a 3-0 deficit to hold Bandar Penawar Sports School (BPSS) to a draw in their first match on Friday, but their real test will be against the Army and state outfits from Malacca and Perak.
