BJSS Spike Their Way To Second Malaysian League Crown

SERDANG: Defending champions Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) retained the Malaysian Volleyball League men’s title by defeating Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) 25-18, 20-22, 25-22, 25-23 in the final at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council Stadium yesterday.

BJSS coach Zulyadi Zakaria said the victory was sweeter this time as they faced tougher opponents en route to the title.

“It’s great to win again. MBSA played an attacking game and our strategy was to strengthen our defence and it worked,” he said.
