BRIGHTS OUTSHINE ANGELS

Segar Brights shot up to the top of the Premier League Kabaddi women’s standings with a thumping 87-29 win over Sri Devi Angels at the Kampong Pandan Grounds on Sunday.

The win saw the Brights claim top position ahead of Sri Devi Princess although both teams are tied on eight points apiece.

The Brights, however, top table on better differential scoring rate compared to the Princess.

The Princess picked up a 66-44 win over Sri Manjari in their match to maintain their unbeaten streak in the competition.

The Princess also have a match in hand over the Brights and could reclaim their position at the top next week.

In the men’s competition, Selayang kept up their chase for the title with a hard earned 31-29 win over a resurgent Kampong Pandan Lions.

The match between the two sides could have gone either way with both teams exchanging leads several times.

Only one point separated both teams until the very last raid of the game, but the Lions failed to pick up the crucial tying point.

The Lions have gone from strength to strength in the league and are beginning to show that they would be a handful to the other title contenders.

However, their poor run in the early stages of the league may have paid put to their hopes of winning the title.

In an earlier match, Selayang defeated Damansara 86-20.

Despite the two wins, Selayang still trail table toppers Sri Devi Dragons in the points standings. The Dragons lead the table with 20 points ahead of Selayang with 14.

While the Dragons did not play on Sunday, their second team Sri Devi Tigers carved out an easy 85-39 win over Segar. The win ensured that the Dragons remained in third spot in the points table.

Segar were unlucky to lose 56-58 to Damansara in another match. Despite leading by four points in the closing stages of the game, Segar lost composure in the closing stages and were denied their first win the competition.
