Hockey: Ismail hopes to regain his scoring touch

KUALA LUMPUR: Forward Ismail Abu (pic) hopes to regain his scoring touch after firing blanks in two tournaments last year.

The Pahang player, who is the second most experience striker after Chua Boon Huat in the national team, was of the mark in six matches in the Olympic qualifier in Japan last April. He played in five of the six matches in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup tournament in Ipoh a month later and also drew a zero.
