BARISAN pemain Perlis meraikan kejayaan muncul juara Puncak Piala Emas Raja-Raja 2009 di Stadium Darul Aman, Alor Setar semalam.

PERLIS menjulang Puncak Piala Emas Raja-Raja 2009 setelah mene- waskan Kedah 2-0 pada final di Stadium Darul Aman, Alor Setar semalam.

Kejayaan anak-anak buah Khamal Idris Ali itu menjadikan ia kejuaraan ketiga buat Perlis yang pernah meme- nanginya pada edisi 1967 dan 1993.

Selaku juara, Perlis membawa pulang wang tunai RM30,000 serta piala pusingan manakala Kedah meraih RM15,000.

Kemenangan itu juga membolehkan Perlis membalas dendam ke atas Kedah selepas tewas 0-1 pada final Piala Emas Raja-Raja 1996.

Pada aksi semalam, gol kemenangan Perlis dihasilkan menerusi Romdhizat Jamian seawal minit keempat dan Adrien Jurad Chamrong (minit ke-18) yang turut diisytiharkan sebagai pemain terbaik perlawanan akhir.

Kedah yang ghairah menyerang sebaik permainan bermula dikejutkan dengan gol awal pelawat menerusi Romdhi- zat.

Gol tersebut berpunca hasil sepakan sudut Mohd. Ikmal Faiz Azmi yang gagal ditolak keluar barisan pertahanan Kedah, sekali gus memberi peluang Romdhizat merembat kencang menewaskan penjaga gol, Mohd. Khairul Azuan.

Skuad Hijau Kuning yang cuba bangkit dikejutkan sekali lagi dengan gol kedua pelawat pada minit ke-18 menerusi sepakan percuma Adrien Jurad dari jarak 25 meter.

Skuad Kedah yang semakin terdesak membuat beberapa pertukaran termasuk membawa masuk penyerang Tan Yang Wei pada babak kedua.

Namun, percaturan pengendali Kedah, Mohamad Ramlee gagal memecah benteng Perlis yang diterajui Adrien Jurad dan penjaga gawang, Mohd. Izwan Ahmad.

Aksi final semalam turut dicemari dengan layangan tiga kad merah oleh pengadil perlawanan, Mohd. Nazer Mohd. Said.

Pemain yang menerima kad merah ialah dua pemain Perlis, Rom- dhizat dan Ezzrul Ikmanizar Abd. Rahman serta kapten Kedah, Mohd. Fazliata Taib.

Insiden 'panas' bermula pada minit ke-84 apabila berlaku tolak menolak antara pemain kedua-dua pasukan di kawasan gol Perlis.

Keadaan itu turut menyebabkan puluhan penyokong tuan rumah cuba masuk padang, namun dapat dikawal oleh pihak polis.

Aksi yang terhenti 10 minit itu kemudian disambung semula tanpa sebarang insiden tidak diingini.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
