15/02/2003

MALACCA Municipal Council (MMC) took another step towards promotion to
Division One when they hammered Kuala Lumpur Schools Sports Council
(KLSSC) 6-0 in the MHF-Milo-Admiral-NSC Junior Hockey League at the Bukit
Serindit Stadium yesterday.
Malacca are second in the standings, but only because they have played
one match less than table-toppers SMK Datuk Taha of Gemencheh.
Yesterday, Datuk Taha thrashed Armed Forces Apprentice Training School
(AFATS) 8-1.
Malacca MC were simply awesome and outclassed KL SCC in all departments.
The hosts got their first goal through Nor Ikhram Sulaiman as early as
the second minute and in the 29th, Ahmad Anuar made it 2-0 after
connecting a cross from Nor Hamezi Omar.
Inspired by the two first-half goals, Malacca MC pushed forward and got
a third from a penalty corner, deflected in by Nazmi Kamarudin in the 40th
minute.
Shakir Hamzah got the fourth in the 53rd minute and Nazmi Kamaruddin
further punished KL SCC with a 62nd-minute field goal. Two minutes before
the buzzer, Malacca MC sounded the board again and this time it was Azmir
Roslan who scored.
In the second match, Datuk Taha's hero was M. Subramaniam who scored
four consecutive goals in the 14th, 16th, 20th and 45th minutes.
M. Krishna added another two in the 50th and 51st minutes while S.
Batumalai and Zulkifli Rosli scored in the 35th and 42nd minutes. AFATS'
consolation was scored by Nazrul Arshad in the 37th.
o AT the Azlan Shah Stadium in Ipoh, Kerian District survived a second
half fightback by Perak Malays before carving out a narrow 1-0 win,
reports R.G. RAJ.
For Kerian this was their first win from three matches, having drawn
once and lost the other while for Perak Malays this was their third defeat
which has kept them rooted to the bottom of the table.
Mohamed Noradli Yusop was Kerian's hero, finishing off a flowing three-
man move in the 8th minute with a powerful shot past goalkeeper Mohamed
Noor Sahib.
