Kaizer Chiefs legend Bernard Parker picked up his maiden DStv Diski Challenge win as TS Galaxy head coach following a 3-0 hammering of an in-form Orlando Pirates outfit at Sturrock Park on Saturday afternoon.
After their opening match against Royal AM was postponed due to the KwaZulu-Natal side not having enough players to honour the fixture, the young Rockets played to a 1-1 draw against SuperSport United in the first clash.

Parker then led his charges to another 1-1 stalemate against Golden Arrows before they registered the same scoreline against Richards Bay.
The former Galaxy marksman has now picked up his first win as head coach since being roped into the DDC set up, as they moved from 11th spot to just above Mamelodi Sundowns in sixth spot.
Parker’s charges took the lead in the 17th minute after being awarded a penalty before doubling their lead in the 32nd minute via an own goal. The home side then rounded off the scoring in the 90th minute to claim the all-important maximum points.
Other results:
