Jimmy shatters scoring record

National striker Rasel Mahmud Jimmy scored 11 goals -- the most by a single player in a Premier League match -- to power Mohammedan SC to a massive 19-0 win over newcomers Bangladesh Railway SC in the Green Delta Insurance Premier Hockey League match at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium yesterday.

Mohammedan toyed with Railway, who had conceded 61 goals in their previous seven matches.

With the feat, Jimmy eclipsed Rafiqul Islam Kamal's record seven goals in a Dhaka Premier League match against Wari Club in 1996 and set his individual highest, surpassing his double hattrick in 2012.

“A team as weak as Railway should not be playing in the top-tier of the hockey league. I think if the [Railway] officials concentrated more, they could have put together a much better side,” said Jimmy.

Apart from Jimmy, Pakistani Tasvar, Lalon and Rubel shared eight goals. In the day's other match, Azad SC held Bangladesh SC to a 3-3 draw.
