Kg Pandan Lions roared into third spot in the Premier League Kabaddi (PLK) standings after picking up full points at the Country Homes Rawang Grounds on Sunday.
The Lions, who had gotten off to a slow start in the PLK due to the rebuilding of their team, are beginning to play more cohesively as a unit.
Their younger players are beginning to show more maturity and it has begun to reap the right results for the Lions.
Last week, the Lions had stretched top ranked Sri Devi Dragons in the semi-finals of the Federal Territory Traditional Sports Carnival.
Their first opponent in the PLK on Sunday were not in the same league as the Dragons, but the Lions showed better teamwork than they have done in the past against minnows Segar.
The Lions ran off with their biggest win in the competition with a 124-44 trashing of Segar.
The Lions were then gifted with a walkover by Damansara in their second match. The walkover meant that the Lions would take full points with a 50-0 margin.
Damansara also failed to turn up for their match against Sri Devi Dragons, resulting in the Dragons taking a 50-0 win.
Damansara has fourteen (14) days to appeal the result.
Damansara also failed to turn up for both the matches against Sri Manjari and Segar Brights in the women’s competition.
Bad weather saw the match between Sri Devi Princess and Segar Shines abandoned with the Princess in a commanding position. That match will be replayed.
In other men’s matches, Kg Pandan Tigers picked up their first win of the league by beating Segar 70-52. The win lifted the Tigers ahead of Segar in the standings.
Sri Devi Tigers moved level on points with Selayang, Kg Pandan Lions and Tamillan Kabaddi after beating Kg Pandan Tigers 106-50.
With the Dragons poised to run away with the PLK title, the four teams are now level with only scoring average deciding their positions.
The Dragons kept their winning ways with a surprisingly easy 77-41 win over Tamillan Juniors, despite missing four first team players.
