Big break for rookies
.
Both Sungai Ara FC and the Allianze University College of Medical Sciences (AUCMS), despite lacking in experience, showed their past victories were not a fluke, when they embarked on the quest in the knockout stage beginning with their respective quarter-final battles.
.
With a promotion ticket at stake in this knockout stage, both Sungai Ara and AUCMS began flexing their muscles.
.
The varsity side seemed to struggle in their quarter-finals against the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) as they needed a lottery shoot-out to decide who earns the right to the semi-finals.
.
| The AUCMS side displayed their marksmanship from the penalty spot, beating MPPP 4-2 in the deciding shoot-out and this placed them one step closer to promotion. | ||
.
Sungai Ara, however, had no qualms in their bid for a place in the last four.
They did things the easier way.
.
Proving to be a cut above rivals Kilat SPT, a convincing 3-0 win was enough to place them at the door step of promotion as well.
.
However if their respective semi-final showdowns are to be used as a yardstick, both Sungai Ara and AUCMS emerge worthy promotion candidates.
While Sungai Ara handed the state Public Works Department (JKR) a 6-1 bashing in the semi-finals to confirm their ticket in grand fashion, AUCMS went on to do likewise to Rifle Ranger FC in the other semi-final showdown.
.
Both then earned a promotion to the Division Two challenge in the new season, but it also presented them a chance to determine who were best in the Division Three finals.
.
And it was Sungai Ara who have the last say when they crossed swords in the final at the City Stadium recently.
.
Sungai Ara were crowned worthy Division Three champions whey trooped out 2-0 winners in this final showdown, with Kazeem Adeolu delivering the first blow by firing home a penalty in the 20th minute, before Muhamad Redzuan cracked home the second in the 46th minute to end whatever hopes AUCMS were harbouring.
