Yesterday, Olak-MPK scrapped past Armed Forces Apprentice TrainingSchool 3-0 at the Tun Razak Stadium with goals from P. Prabahkaran in the15th minute and two goals from Mohamed Zamzuhairi in the 40th and 48thminutes. Olak-MPK coach Abdul Rahim Ahmad was happy with the scoreline as: "Werested most of our regular players today (yesterday)." Olak used their second goalkeeper M. Muruges for 70 minutes and restedtheir No 1 T. Veerasegar and it paid dividends as Muruges stopped threepoint-blank shots to deny AFATS. The tough matches that await Olak-MPK in the coming weeks are againstfourth placed Petaling Jaya Municipal Council and Tenaga.
