TEN YEARS ago, they were scrawny teenagers in the combined schools team.

And even as they graduated to starring for the Young Lions before helping Singapore win back-to-back Asean titles, the partnership of Shahril Ishak and Khairul Amri have always been the focal point of attack.

Tonight, the dynamic duo will look to combine with deadly effect again to fire their team into the Malaysia Cup quarter-finals.

Amri, who has battled back to full fitness after suffering from a catalogue of injuries and missing the first four months of the season, is sure that fans will see the best of their telepathy tonight.
