“I am extremely pleased with my boys after our first victory despite time not being on our side as we are also in the midst of preparation for a 15s rugby tournament taking place next week,” said Mohd Romli Saad, coach of MCKK.
“In the first half the players performed as planned however, things did not go our way in the second half. We will work on our weaknesses from today’s match and hope to improve our performance especially when going up against greater opponents tomorrow,” said Romli.
He added, that MCKK will be wary of their other opponents in Group C, Sekolah Menengah Sains Tunku Jaafar (STJ) and Singapore’s Australian International School (AIS), and will ensure they do not take their matches lightly when they go head-to-head tomorrow.
