JB 7s Report (Tunku Mahkota Tournament 2008)

Dear Member

Myself and the coaches are very proud of the team that played in the above mentioned tournament. Very Very PROUD!!!!!

Staring out the day of tournament not knowing who we are playing with. Group with Ungku Husin, Teknik Segamat and MSAB Potain.

Game 1(0918hrs), was a abit tense, but we did good with Naqi the capt scoring a try from a penalty to draw the game, 5-5.

Game 2(1154hrs), was a BYE with Teknik Segamat

Game 3(1405hrs), wining the game with a single try by Md. Aidil which end the day of our tournament. 7-0

Day 2(knock out stage)

Winning one game and drawing one game place us top of our group. Therefore we are qualify for the winner's pool. Again not knowing who our opposition is, we were all prepared for any team that came along.

Game 1(0930hrs), playing 2nd of group E SMK Haji Ali Potain. Winning with a margin of 22-0, try coming from Bryan, Aidil * 2 and Waichong, conversion by Md. Noh. Winning our game means we make it to the cup quarter final, playing Syed Nasir A (JB District Champion).

Game 2(1330hrs) Cup Quarter Finals:
Game is played 7mins halves with 1 min break.
Starting off the first half very strong holding back the Malaysian team, HF score 0-0. With the second half 1 min away the boys were all fired up. However we conceded a try 2mins into the second half and then one more try in the next 2 mins. Knowing that we have only 3 mins to go the boys pull back with a try by Bryan whom he converted, with only one min remain, the defense from the Malaysian team was strong thus holding us back. Final score 12-7 in favor to Syed Nasir A.

Try-scorer:
Aidil * 3
Bryan * 2
Waichong * 1
Naqi * 1
Md. Noh one conversion

Looking at the two day tournament in Malaysia the boys did very well and loads of credit given to the boys for their disciplines, attitude and the playing spirit of Ta'Moko Lions RFC. Being the only Singapore team making it to the Cup division, we are very proud.
