ITS BACK

The 2011 KL International Inter City Kabaddi Championships will be back in February next year.

Initial preparatory work to host the tournament is now under way. The third edition of the tournament is expected to be the biggest to date.

Many foreign and local teams have shown great interest in being part of the ever growing championships.

At least half a dozen foreign teams have already confirmed their participation in the championships although we have yet to issue any circulars.

According to the early feedback, we may play host to at least 20 teams in the men's competition and at least six in the women's competition.

Several new teams from other Asian countries have also indicated their interest in participating in the championships.

The official invitations are expected to be send out within days.

The Kuala Lumpur kabaddi teams have already started training for the championships. For the record the KL men's team finished runners-up at the last two editions.

The Federal Territory kabaddi squads resumed training at the Padang Utara on Sunday.

The teams are in preparation for various tournaments scheduled for the coming months.

Kg Pandan denied

Kg Pandan Kabaddi squad were denied the Klang Kabaddi Open title by Sivasangkari. The KL team were edged out 5-6 by their rivals.

Kg Pandan's title hopes were paid put after three of their key players were down with injuries before the final.

Heavy downpour also played a big role in the cautious approach of both teams in the final. The slippery ground affected the performance of players from both teams.

However, Kg Pandan proved they were a team to fear in the future, after their stunning defeat of favourites Sri Devi in the semi-finals.

Sivasangkari, who defeated the Indian expatriate team of Pasum Ponn 21-19 in the semi-final, had lost to Sri Devi in their group matches.

It was a bad day indeed for Sri Devi, who also lost to Pasum Ponn in the playoff for third place.
