Assassin from the back – a junior defender with the goal-den touch


KUALA LUMPUR: For junior hockey defender Muhd Amirul Hamizan Azahar, attack seems to be the best form of defence.

The 19-year-old Penangite netted a whopping 27 goals – 15 penalty corners, 10 field goals and two penalty strokes – to guide Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sports School (SSTMI) from Johor to the double league and overall titles in the Malaysian Junior Hockey League (MJHL).
