Victory for VI boys

-

VI, who entered the pitch as Ragbi Perdana champions, led 10-3 with minutes to go.

After MCKK’s Syamel Amal Shamsuddin scored a try, Muhammad Syazani Suhami, with the last kick of the match, missed the opportunit­y to tie the score when his kick sailed past the left post.

Coached by Nik Mohammad Sidek Nik Jaafar, VI earned a penalty early in the first half, and converted by standoff Muhammad Haziq Akmal Jamaluddin before the Kuala Lumpur-based school widened the gap through Muhammad Afif Nurazha’s try and Haziq’s conversion after the break.

Prompted by a crowd which included busloads of supporters from Kuala Kangsar, MCKK attempted a late comeback but it was not to be.

The Cup tournammen­t serves as the pinnacle of the SuperSix Schools Rugby 15s which was introduced in 2013. Farah Azharie
