THUNDERBOLTS

League champions PJCC Tigers fell to Anderson 3-2, with Nur Asyraf Ishak (20th, 42nd) on the mark.

However, Anderson pulled through with goals from Najme Hayazi (fourth minute), Aiman Shahmi (45th) and Aliff Ikhemal (51st).

“I see our match against BJSS the toughest of the two semis, as whenever they play us, they somehow manage to bring out their very best,” said SSTMI coach Wan Roslan Rahman.

Last season, BJSS beat SSTMI 4-3 for the TNB Cup, and this year in the League, BJSS held SSTMI 2-2 before winning 6-5 in a shootout.

“Even though we are Thunderbolts ‘brothers’, we aim to give our very best to play in the final and win one title this season. Our biggest problem is travelling, for we played in Bandar Penawar today (yesterday) and travelled after the match to Kuala Lumpur for the Sunday semis.

“I hope the boys recovery is fast, as BJSS are not an easy team to handle,” said Wan Roslan.
