JHL: Bukit Jalil Sports School fifth...
KUALA LUMPUR: Pioneer Sports School Bukit Jalil Thunderbolts lost 4-3 to Petaling Jaya City Council (PJCC) in their final Junior Hockey League (JHL) Division one match to end fifth on the standings.
This is a slide from third last season, as the Sports School lost a few strikers to Anderson Thunderbolts and Pahang Thunderbolts for this year's challenge.
PJCC's goals were scored by Shahzariq Haikal (19th), Faisol Rozihan (36th), Fikri Amer Runnizar (43rd) and Syabil Aizam Noor (56th).
Idris Samad (13th, 22nd), Nursyahmi Zulkifli (26th) scored for BJSS.
Arif Sabron is among the strikers, who scored five goals for BJSS last year, who moved to greener pastures.
"We can't hold on to players who have completed their Form Five and normally other clubs are always ready to snatch them. We lost a few strikers from last season, and that's why the team struggled to score," said BJSS coach Lokman Yahaya.
But with budding players expected to rise from BJSS Juniors, a Division Two team, Lokman is optimistic his team will rise higher next year.
"We have many young talent eager to be drafted from our Division Two sister team, and so I believe we will be much stronger next season," said Lokman.
Arif scored five goals for Anderson and the Ipoh school ended a laudable second on the standings.
The four Thunderbolts, who receive funding as well as tactical and coaching expertise from Tenaga Nasional, all qualified for the quarterfinals.
Six teams in Division One will be joined by Division Two finalists Malacca MBMB Warriors and Penang MSSPP-PSHA in the TNB Cup quarterfinals beginning on May 2. The last eight draw will be held today.
Malacca and Penang also won promotion to Division One next season, while Old La Sallian Association of Klang (Olak) and Perlis Young Lions will be relegated for finishing at the bottom of the pile.

JHL: Penang Division Two champions
KUALA LUMPUR: Penang's MSSPP-PSHA lifted the Division Two Junior Hockey League title when they beat Malacca's MBMB Warriors 3-0 in a penalty shoot-out at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
The regulation time match was entertaining to the last drop, but ended 0-0 as both sides failed to find an opening in the semicircle.
However, there was good news for the losing side as well, as both the finalists qualified to play in Division One next season, while the two teams relegated to Division Two are Old La Sallians Association of Klang (Olak) and Perlis Young Lions.
"I am very proud of the commitment shown by my players to become champions of Division Two. They fought every inch for the ball, but could not score in 60 minutes.
"It was a tensed shoot-out, but in the end we prevailed and now we will paly in Division One next season as well. It was a double reward night," said Penang coach G. Uthayan.
In the bronze battle, KL Vipers came back from the dead to beat Anderson PHA 2-1 in a rain-interrupted match.
Anderson were leading 1-0 with a third minute goal from Iqbalnafis Rostam but rain stopped the match in the third quarter and when it resumed, Shafiq Abdullah equalised in the 49th minute and then delivered the winner in the 60th minute.
KL Vipers made their Division Two debut this season, and finished a laudable third.
RESULTS -- Division Two: Final -- MBMB Warriors (Malacca) 0 MSSPP-PSHA (Penang) 0 (Penang won shoot out 3-0); Third-Fourth: KL Vipers 2 Anderson PHA 1.
Division One: SSTMI 5 Sabah SS Resilient 1.
TUESDAY: Old La Sallians Association of Klang v Sabah SS Resilient (Pandamaran, 5pm), PJCC Tigers v BJSS Thudnerbolts (PJCC Stadium, 5pm).

Kumar back on Monday...
(HARIAN METRO)
Konfederasi Hoki Malaysia (MHC) akan mengadakan sidang media, Isnin bagi mengumumkan keputusan Persekutuan Hoki Antarabangsa (FIH) yang tidak menghukum Kumar lebih lanjut selepas enam bulan tersisih sejak keputusan ujian itu diumumkan.
Khabar gembira itu disahkan sumber yang boleh dipercayai kepada Sukan NSTP.
Kumar gagal ujian doping ketika saingan Piala Asia di Dhaka, Bangladesh, Oktober lalu apabila sampel air kencingnya didapati mengandungi sibutramine, salah satu bahan larangan Agensi Anti Doping Dunia (WADA).
Malaysia tewas 1-2 di tangan India pada final Piala Asia dan itu adalah persembahan terbaik skuad negara sebelum Kumar digantung.
Malaysia menamatkan saingan di tempat keempat dan kelima ketika pertandingan Piala Sultan Azlan Shah dan Sukan Komanwel baru-baru ini.
Bagaimanapun perkembangan terbaru itu menyaksikan Kumar bakal diturunkan untuk menghadapi Sukan Asia Indonesia dari 18 Ogos hingga 2 September nanti.
Sumber itu berkata, Kumar tidak perlu menghadiri sesi pendengaran FIH kerana rekod bersihnya dalam hoki selain tidak menunjukkan penggunaan bahan terlarang berkenaan adalah untuk meningkatkan prestasinya.
Kebiasaannya, sibutramine digunakan untuk menguruskan badan.
Kumar mewakili Malaysia sebanyak 295 kali di pentas antarabangsa selain menjalani 10 ujian doping sepanjang kariernya dengan semuanya adalah negatif.
Dia tidak menjalani latihan bersama skuad negara selepas ujiannya didapati positif namun tempoh enam bulan tidak akan menjadi masalah kepada Kumar untuk kembali berada pada tahap terbaik menjelang Sukan Asia.
Malaysia berharap untuk memenangi emas pertama hoki Sukan Asia dan layak ke Olimpik Tokyo 2020 dengan kehadiran penjaga gol berpengalaman itu pasti mengukuhkan lagi benteng negara.
Kumar: Back in action Monday..
