KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 - Former champions Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), despite taking off on a promising start, only managed to beat underdogs Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) boys 3-1 in the Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) Division One match at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil here today.
The power house broke down the school boys' defence as early as the fifth minute through Mohd Fairuz Ramli while midfielder Kevinder Singh rammed home the second goal barely two minutes later.
Kevinder Singh made it 3-0 for TNB in the 18th minute when he touched home another in the 18th minute off a field attempt.
BJSS' solitary strike was courtesy of Ahmad Kazamirul Nasruddin in the 48th minute.
In another Division One match, defending league champions Ernst and Young (E&Y) fought hard to edge Maybank 2-1.
However, it was Maybank who took the lead through Chairil Anwar Abdul Aziz in the sixth minute but E&Y equalised five minutes later through their penalty corner specialist Zulkifli Mohamad Rejab.
The second half saw E&Y struggling to break into Maybank's semi-circle and finally found their loop hole in the 60th minute through Ismail Abu to collect the full three points.
"We were cautious in the first half and conceded a goal. We charged back and got the equaliser. In the second half, I told the boys to go all-out and they got the winning goal late in the second half. It was a close game but I'm glad we collected full points today," said E&Y's coach K. Dharmaraj.
In Division Two, Jurutera Letrik Jentera (JLJ) steamrolled Royal Malaysian Air Force(RMAF) 7-1 at the Tun Razak Hockey Stadium while SUKSES Selangor could only manage a 2-2 draw with Dolphins at Klang.
