Ten teams will vie for the honours in the men’s league while another six teams will fight it out in the women’s competition.
The PLK, organised by the Kabaddi Association of Kuala Lumpur (KAKL), will offer more than RM17,000 in prize money.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Ministers Department YB Datuk S.K. Devamany would officially launch the PLK.The men’s competition is expected to be an open affair although Sri Devi Dragons are likely to shoulder the burden as the pre-tournament favourites.
Kg Pandan Lions, MIG Sentosa, Tamilan Kabaddi and Damansara Kabaddi are all capable of upsetting the formbooks.
Kampar Kabaddi, Sri Murugan, Segar Kabaddi, Taman Selayang and Sri Devi Tigers are the other teams in the fray.
Sri Devi Dragons boasts of a number of players who played pivotal roles in Kuala Lumpur’s win at the Sukma demonstration tournament and also the second place at the International Inter City Kabaddi Championships in December.
Sri Devi Dragons trumpcard would certainly be their main raider K. Siva, who was picked as the Best Player at the International Inter City Kabaddi Championships.
The team also boast of several former senior and junior internationals including P. Vimalenthiran, S. Saravanan and M. Paramasiven.
MIG Sentosa will have the services of three former junior internationals and two senior internationals – K. Magendran and S. Rajasegar.
Tamillan Kabaddi, strengthened by a number of Indian expatriates, are also strong bets for the title. Kg Pandan Lions are coached by former international and current national women’s coach R. Balamarugan and are equally capable of winning the title.
The darkhorses in the tournament should be the experienced Damansara Kabaddi Club.
It would be difficult to pick a clear favourite in the women’s league as all teams are playing in such competition for the first time.
The PLK matches would be played every fortnight at various locations in the Klang Valley and would end on October 11.
Apart from the League competition there would also be a concurrent knockout competition.
The final of the knockout competition would take place on October 18.
