Jimmy runs riot over Police

Striker Rasel Mahmud Jimmy slotted double a hattrick
to power star-studded Mohammedan Sporting Club to a massive 8-0 win over Bangladesh Police in the opening fixture of the Dhaka Bank Independence Cup Hockey Tournament at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium yesterday.
However, despite the big-margin victory, the big-spending Mohammedan hardly impressed as a unit. Apart from Jimmy's individual performance, there was no remarkable display from the other players against a side who are technically far inferior. Mohammedan coach Imam Hossain Shanta said his charges took to field without any preparation due to the unavailability of players for the national camp.
The Black and Whites roped in Jimmy and penalty corner specialist Mamunur Rahman Chayan for Tk 6.5 lakh each but Chayan frustrated converting only two out of six penalty corners. But Jimmy proved his price tag as he struck two hattricks, either side of the break.
Jimmy gave Mohammedan the lead through a field goal on the third minute and doubled the lead on the 11th minute and completed his first treble from a penalty corner two minutes later after Chayan squandered two successive penalty corners.
Chayan finally found the back of the net from a penalty corner on the 28th minute as Mohammedan went for breather with a comfortable 4-0 lead.
After resumption, Jimmy struck three more field goals on the 39th, 46th and 50th minutes before Chayan completed the rout converting a penalty corner in the 55th minute.
