Div2 :: Dangerous and Mohd Noor gunning for top scorer award

The top scorer’s award for this year’s Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) Under-19 competition is likely to be settled when Bukit Jalil Sports School and Bandar Penawar Sports School clash in the final on Sunday.

K. Satesh of Division Three club Nur Insafi leads the scoring chart with 14 goals. Next comes BJSS’ Dangerous Lee and BPSS’ Mohd Noor Faeez Ibrahim, who both have 13 goals.

With the two sports schools squaring up in the final at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil this weekend, the money’s on either Dangerous or Mohd Noor to end up with the top scorer gong.

Dangerous, of Sarawak, has scored six field goals, six penalty corner goals and one from the spot.

All except one of Mohd Noor’s goals have come from penalty corner flicks. The other one was from a penalty stroke.

The 18-year-old Mohd Noor said that he would be on a double mission in Sunday’s final.

“I want to help my team to win the elusive overall title and score more than a goal to win the top scorer’s award for the first time,” he said.

“I have scored hat-tricks in a match before ... I can do it again.”

He was pleased to hear that the final had been postponed from yesterday to Sunday, saying it would give him more time and opportunities to work on the penalty corner set pieces.

“We have no experience playing in the final but it will not stop us from trying to get the better of BJSS. We beat them 4-1 in the last league match and we can do it again,” he said.

But that win came after BJSS had already sealed the league title.

BJSS, who have won the league title for the seventh consecutive time, will be gunning their fifth overall title on Sunday.
