Malaysia Pahang Sports School claim maiden MCKK Premier Sevens title
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Pahang Sports School (MPSS) clinched their maiden Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) Premier Sevens title after downing defending champions Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sports School (TMISS) in the final today (July 6).
MPSS made it count when it mattered, clinching a hard-fought 17-12 win over TMISS at the MCKK field in Kuala Kangsar. MPSS' Ammar Zidan Mohd Zaid also claimed the Zaharuddin Alias Best Player award.
The final was essentially a clash between Malaysia's two premier rugby sports schools. TMISS, who have dominated age-group rugby tournaments in Malaysia over the past two decades, have produced numerous players for the national sevens and 15s squads over the years.
The third-place decider saw SMK Tun Hussein Onn edging SMK King Edward VII 10-7.
Meanwhile, hosts MCKK gave the home crowd something to cheer about after downing Japan's Shizuoka Seiko Academy 14-7 in the plate final.
The bowl final saw Kolej Vokasional Arau beating SMK Hosba 24-21 in what was a finely balanced encounter.
MRSM Balik Pulau claimed the shield after beating Royal Military College 19-0.
