Kuala Lumpur clubs assisted in making the Multimedia University Melaka Campus Kabaddi championships organised by their Indian Cultural Society on Saturday a grand success.
Sri Devi Kabaddi club and Kg Pandan Lions made the trip to Melaka to participate in the championships.
The championship was the first time in recent times that a kabaddi tournament was organised in the state. Kudos to the MMU Indian Cultural Society (ICS) for their effort in developing and promoting the game in Melaka.
With kabaddi included at the Melaka Sukma next June, the effort by the Society would a long way in establising itself in Melaka.
Sri Devi defeated Kg Pandan Lions 37-28 in the final while ICS defeated Cyber MMU 42-8 in the playoff for third place.
The Sri Devi team at the tournament was a mix of players from the club and the Selayang kabaddi club.
The tournament was held for the Under-23 men's category with a 80kg limitation.
KL officials assisted in all technical aspects of the tournament following the last minute pullout from the tournament by officials from the Kabaddi Association of Malaysia (KAM) coming from Negri Sembilan.
Despite the pullout, KL officials with the enthusiastic support from ICS, the championships went on without any hitch.
Players from Melaka also gained plenty of experience playing against some of the best players in the country.
