KUCHING: Mohd Haziq Asraf hit five goals to lead Kuching to a 7-0 romp over Bintulu to record their second straight win in the Boys U12 competition of the MSS Sarawak Hockey Championship at State Hockey Stadium here yesterday.

After thumping Samarahan 3-0 in the opener on Tuesday, Kuching dominated the game against Bintulu with better passing and teamwork.

They opened accounts as early as in the second minute and Haziq scored his first goal via a penalty corner in the 11th minute.

The team captain, who studies at SK St Thomas, converted another penalty corner in the 18th minute and scored three field goals in the 16th minute, 27th and 27 minutes.

With two wins in the bag, Kuching are leading the five-team league competition with six points, scoring 10 goals and conceded none.

If they can beat Sibu in today's match, they will have a very good chance of winning the title.

Kuching's final match will be against Mukah tomorrow.

Sibu are now in second spot with three points after blanking Mukah 3-0 on Tuesday.

Other matches saw Samarahan whipping Mukah 9-1 in the Boys U18 and a rampant Kuching cruising to a 10-1 victory over Betong in the Girls U18 Group B contest.

In the final match of the day between Miri and Bintulu in the Girls U18 Group B that was resumed from yesterday because of heavy rain, the score stood at 1-0 in Bintulu's favour.

Ten more matches are lined up for today and eight matches for tomorrow, including two semi-finals for the Girls U18 competition.

The final for the Girls U18 will be played at 3pm on Saturday and the prize-giving ceremony scheduled at 4pm.
