SEGAR OFF THE BLOCK

Segar finally got off the blocks in the Premier League Kabaddi men's competition at the Batu Caves Grounds.

The perennial losers finally notched up a win in the competition with a 85-37 win over a depleted Tamillan Juniors today.

The Juniors paid the price for not fielding their best team against the much improved Segar.

Segar took full advantage of the opponents problems to pick up five lonas enroute to the thumping win.

In an earlier match, Segar had lost 28-86 to Selayang. Selayang also beat Kampong Pandan Tigers 62-36 in their first match.

Selayang got off to a slow start in their match against The Tigers, but pocked enough firepower to subdue their opponents.

The two wins saw Selayang moving within two points of table toppers Sri Devi Dragons.

The Dragons, who did not play today, are the only unbeaten team in the competition.

The two teams look likely of finishing the league in the same position although both teams have six more matches each to play.

Selayang's only loss in the competition was at the hands of the Dragons.

In the women's competition, only one match was played with Sri Manjari running away with a comfortable 87-11 win over Segar Shines.

A number of matches in the PLK was postponed as mark of respect to the demise of the fathers of two players from the Sri Devi and Tamillan teams.

The PLK would resume with the next round of matches on September 27 at the Kayu Ara Grounds.

PLK SCHEDULE UPDATED

The next round of the Premier League Kabaddi would be held on 6th September 2009 at the Batu Caves grounds.

The KAKL is trying to finish up with the backlog of matches first and have scheduled the following matches for the day.

Please take note of the changes made from the earlier schedule.

Tamillan Kabaddi would not be playing any matches on Sunday as a mark of respect to the passing away of Mr Balakrishnan's father. Three members of the family are playing in the Tamillan Kabaddi team.

The Kabaddi Association of Kuala Lumpur would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest condolences to the family.
