Segar failed to stop the rampaging DragonsLeaders Sri Devi Dragons crushed Segar 127-44 to keep up their relentless push for the inaugural Premier League Kabaddi crown.
Playing at their homeground in Puchong, the Dragons were in commanding form to notch up their sixth consecutive win in the competition.
The Dragons were beaten for the first time in more than a year at the Bukit Pelandok Kabaddi Championships in Negri Sembilan last week and were determined to put behind their disappointment against Segar.
Hot in their chase is Tamillan Kabaddi, who are the only other remaining unbeaten team in the competition.
Unlike the Dragons, the Tamillans struggled to a 31-21 win over Damansara in their match on Sunday. The Tamillans have been struggling of late against the weaker teams and were almost beaten by Segar recently.
The side have two crucial matches in the next round of the Premier League Kabaddi on May 31. They will be up against leaders Dragons as well as third placed Selayang.
If their recent form is of any indication, the Tamillans could lose their unbeaten streak in two weeks time.
In another match Damansara suffered their second defeat of the week as they were also beaten by Tamillan Juniors 36-52.
It was a mixed day for the Kg Pandan Lions. They defeated their second team – Kg Pandan Tigers – 82-29 but were beaten 33-42 by a much improved Sri Devi Tigers.
In the women’s competition, Segar Brights moved into second place in the table behind Sri Devi Princess after defeating a lackluster Sri Manjari 62-43.
They are tied on 6 points with the Princess but have an inferior scoring rate and have played one extra match.
