Div 2 :: BJSS forward sets a very high standard

Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) forward Faridzul Afiq Mohd surely sets a very high standard.

The BJSS ace was far from pleased despite scoring a hat-trick in his team’s 5-1 thrashing of Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) in Division Two (Under-19 category) of the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) on Friday.

“I have represented BJSS for five consecutive years and this is the first time I have netted a hat-trick. But it’s not a big deal as much younger players have scored three goals before,” said Faridzul, who will turn 17 on Oct 30.

He felt that as a senior player he should have got his hat-trick against the weaker teams much earlier.

“Last year I scored eight goals in the league but this season I have only managed six in eight matches. Now, the pressure is on me to deliver the goals in our last three league matches,” said Faridzul.

Double champions BJSS will face former champions Old La Sallians Association of Klang (Olak) at the Tun Razak Stadium today before wrapping up their fixtures against Anderson on Wednesday and Bandar Penawar Sports School (BPSS) on Friday.

BJSS lead the standings with 24 points after eight matches, two ahead of Bandar Penawar Sports School.
