Segar stunned fancied Sri Devi Princess enroute to winning the women's title at the City Day Kabaddi Championships at Dataran Merdeka.
Segar won the title after finishing unbeaten in the round robin competition.
The 64-42 defeat of the Princess, was sweet revenge for Segar, having lost to the same side in the top of the table clash in the Premier League Kabaddi earlier this month.
The Princess started off strongly in the early stages of their match against Segar, but their game collapsed following the exit of their star raider Vishaleeny.
Vishaleeny limped out of the game with a knee injury with he side holding a good lead in the first half. Followng her exit, Segar played with more urgency to whittle down the deficit and romp home comfortable winners.
Princess finished second after they defeated Sri Manjari 43-33. Manjari also lost to Segar 53-57 in another group match.
The men's title went to favourites Sri Devi Dragons. The Dragons blew away Kg Pandan Lions 34-20 for their first title of the year.
The Lions started confidently in the final and even held a four point lead in the early stages of the game. But a defensive error at that stage saw the Dragons eclipse the deficit.
Once the four point deficit was erased, the Dragons played with more urgency to defend the title they won last year.
The Indian expatriate team of Pasum Ponn finished third.
The City Day Kabaddi championships was held with the assistance of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall.
