Sri Devi clinched a double at the Kampong Pandan Open kabaddi championships on Sunday by winning both the men's and women's title.
In the men's competition, Sri Devi Tigers defeated Sri Devi Dragons 22-18 in the final.
The Dragons were the favourites to win the title after edging out Kg Pandan D Gen X 12-6 in the semi-finals. However, the Dragons chose to play at half pace and allow their junior team win their first ever title.
Earlier in the other semi-finals, the Tigers defeated Damansara 22-17 in a heated match.
Damansara could have clinched the final spot, but let their emotions get the better of them, allowing a more composed Tigers to snatch the game away in the dying minutes.

They were lucky to escape with a 30-28 win over Sri Manjari and later got the better of Segar.
