On 12 and 13 April 2008, the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) organised a netball tournament in conjunction with the annually held Vice Chancellor Cup. The tournament, divided into women’s and men’s categories, saw participation from 10 men’s teams.
Matches were played on grass amidst hot and humid weather.
Preliminary Round
The men’s teams were divided into 3 groups and here are the results for preliminary round:
The top 2 teams qualified to the next round.
Final round
The weather turned bad soon after the preliminary round was completed, turning the fields into mud patches. Of course, that deterred the teams not one bit.
The teams were redrawn into 2 new groups where the top 2 teams will compete in the finals for the first and second placings. Since the third and fourth prizes were the same, no play-off will be carried out and placings will be determined by points.
Here are the results for the final round:
After calculating the points, third place was won by Royale B and fourth was Sonique. However, Royale B was disqualified for breaking the rules by fielding players who were not in the name list. As such, Sonique got third place and fourth was awarded to team Goujers.
The play-off for first and second place was between teams Legend and Royale A. Played on a fresh field, team Royale A soundly beat team Legend, 15-9. Congratulations to team Royale A. They won trophy, medals and cash RM1,000. The Best Player title for men’s category was awarded to Firdaus from team Royale A. Team Legend won medals and cash RM750, and they also bagged the Fair Play award.
