Our MD, Sukor Ashak volunteered and was one of the women’s team coaching members. He was instrumental in the preparation of the young players, with 2 weeks intensive centralised training held in Labuan before departing for Kathmandu.

Our women’s junior secured the 3rd placing in the competition after losing to a more experienced Hong Kong, China team in their last game on Sunday. The spirits were high, and the result was commendable. We’re proud of the team and we will continue promoting the women’s junior rugby in Labuan for years to come!
