Malay Mail's dreams dashed (The Malay Mail)

KUALA LUMPUR MALAY MAIL coach Lucas Kallang's worst fears came true
yesterday.
Just a point away from making Premier Two this season, their dreams were
dashed at the BSN Sports Complex.
After a goalless first half, Malay Mail failed to cope with the pressure
from Armed Forces in the second and conceded goals to Ahmad Nizan Ariffin
and Amir Abdul Ghani Mohamad Yusof in the 74th and 85th minutes
respectively.
With the 2-0 victory, Armed Forces qualified for Premier Two by
finishing second in the standings with four points.
Though they were tied on points with Malay Mail, Armed Forces had a
better goal difference.
Kelantan TNB qualified for Premier Two by finishing top of the standings
with five points.
They held Police 1-1 at Petronas Sports Complex yesterday.
Lucas, a former Sarawak assistant coach, said: "We are very
disappointed. There was so much at stake for us in this match.
"In the second half we were at a big disadvantage when Hasnul (Ramlan)
was injured after colliding with an Armed Forces player."
