The Junior boys from Bowen Secondary School tasted defeat in a close encounter with Woodlands Secondary School in the North Zone Inter-Schools Competition this afternoon at Lor Napiri falling 2-1 after going in front.

Both teams cancelled out each other in a tight game with few chances in the 1st half. The Bullets were too shy to shoot and Woodlands were making wayward passes in the attacking third.
But the game sprang to life in the 2nd half. A spirited attack by Bowen in the 38th minute resulted in a goalmouth melee which saw Bullets attacker Muhd Aadil having the last touch to punt the ball across the goal line for a 1-nil lead.

The celebration was shortlived as 4 minutes later, a free kick by Woodlands from the halfway line had the ball sailing over Bowen goalkeeper Koei who was left flapping at thin air as the ball found the top left-hand corner.

A 1-1 scoreline seemed like a fair result but Woodlands was given a golden opportunity to grab the winner in the 46th minute after Bullets centre-back Zed came out charging at the Woodlands right winger who tumbled inside the penalty box. The shoulder-to-shoulder contact seemed innocuous but the referee ruled for a foul and awarded Woodlands a penalty. Woodlands made no mistake with the spot kick.

The Bullets worked hard to get back in the game as they committed players higher up the field. In the 52nd minute, a header by Bullets centre-back Farihin from a corner kick drifted just over the crossbar. 4 minutes later, Bullets striker Muhd Ariffin also saw his free kick from the right sail over the goalmouth. It was the closest the Bullets came to an equaliser and Woodlands closed out the game with little fanfare.
