Bangladesh hockey team began their Men's Junior AHF Cup campaign on a winning note as they handed a convincing 4-0 defeat to Hong Kong in a Pool B encounter at the Sultan Qaboos Complex in Muscat yesterday.

Although there might have been some concerns regarding competing well against 'fittest' Hong Kong, especially after a two-week preparation, the charges of Mamunur Rashid shrugged off all apprehensions as Bangladesh got off to a flying start.

The boys in red and green went ahead in the very second minute with forward Tahsin Ali scoring from open play before defender Rahid Hasan Jibon doubled the margin, from open play again, in the final minute of first quarter.

Bangladesh kept their dominance over Hong Kong intact in the next quarter as defender Amirul Islam made it 3-0 by converting a penalty corner in the 18th minute.

The third quarter remained goalless but Bangladesh sealed off the victory in the fourth and final quarter when Tahsin Ali struck his second and team's fourth from open play in the 57th minute.

Bangladesh will play their second match against Sri Lanka today.
