| Selangor's golden kabaddi achievement Posted: 18 Jun 2011 04:22 AM PDT SELANGOR defied the odds to win the two gold medals at stake in the Malaysia Games kabaddi competition at the Olympic Hall in Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) recently. This time around, Selangor, having won the men and women's gold medals at the 2010 Malaysia Games in Malacca, were not hailed as the favourites. They were also not given a chance when the draw was conducted. In the men's section, Selangor were drawn in Group A with Malacca, Penang and Johor; Negri Sembilan, Sarawak, Perak and Federal Territories are together in Group B, while Kedah, Pahang and Perlis are in Group C. However, Penang did not show up for the competition. Interestingly, Negri Sembilan, the favourites, were disqualified when they could not assemble seven players as required by the competition rules, for their final group match against Perak. Selangor started their campaign on a right note when they defeated Malacca 71-24 and then went on to thrash Johor 49-17. In the women's section, Selangor, despite being the defending champions, were in Group A with Malacca, Penang and Sarawak. They marched into the second round with convincing wins over Malacca (78-17), Penang (60-26) and Sarawak (65-22). After the three group matches, the top two teams from each group advanced to second round. Selangor and FT qualified for the both the men and women's finals. In the men's final, Selangor, with Gabriel Johnson and S. Thiagu playing an inspiring role, were simply too good for FT. The Selangor athletes powere to a 35-20 win the gold medal. But there were some anxious moments for Selangor in the women's final. FT had the edge at the halfway mark. But Selangor's G. Balajothi, Norhaslinda Masrawi and P. Shahilah gave a determined performance to turn the table on FT with a 35-27 win. In the men's category, the bronze medal went to Johor and Kedah while Penang and Johor won the bronze in the women's category. Selangor coach R. Akilan said it was team effort that earned them the double. "The seniors from both the men and women's teams were the pillars and guided the juniors. We also have to thank three seniors - A. Sathya, J. Komathi and P. Sasitharan - for their assistance in motivating the players,'' said Akilan. The Selangor Sports Council (MSNS) and State Exco of Women's Affairs, Welfare, Science Technology, Innovation and Culture Rodziah Ismail each rewarded RM300 to every player in the Selangor team. Rodziah was impressed with the players' performance and praised the Kabaddi Association of Selangor (KAS) for preparing a strong contingent for the Malaysia Games. SELANGOR Coaches: R. Akilan, K.
