Women finish campaign
FT women ended their campaign in the kabaddi competition at the SUKMA with a 41-22 win over Penang.
The FT girls led 22-11 in the first half, but failed to show much urgency in the game, having already failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
Penang, to its credit played with confidence but lacked in experience to seriously challenge FT.
Like FT, Penang are also out of the semi-finals but will finish ahead of wooden spoonist Pahang in the group.

On the verge
The FT kabaddi men's team are just a win away from qualifying for the semi-finals of the competition at the 2010 SUKMA.

Tomorrow the team faces Negri Sembilan in a crucial match that would decide the fate of both teams.
Negri Sembilan, having lost to Selangor in their opening match, face a do-or-die battle against FT. Anything less than a win would see their campaign in the competition coming to an end.
FT play NS in the morning and face unbeaten Selangor in the evening. While a win would confirm FT's semi-final berth, a loss would throw the competition wide open.
FT's fate would than hang on their match against Selangor in the evening.

Penang denied win
A costly mistake by the match officials cost Penang a much anticipated win over hosts Melaka in the men's kabaddi competition.
Both teams were locked at 44-44 with one minute of regulation time but the Penang raider was denied the chance to pick up the all important winning point.
First, the Penang raider was stopped from going into Melaka's court by the referee as he wanted to sort out some technical problems.
As the raider waited for his chance to go for an attack, the match umpire blew the whistle to mark the end of the match with more than one minute remaining.
Penang lost the chance of getting a lona as Melaka was left with only player at that point of time.
Questions are being raised with the decision of the match officials and their neutrality.
The Melaka team is made up of import players from Selangor and one of the two referees of the match also happened to be the coach of the players in Selangor.

Better performance
The Federal Territory men's team put on a much better show in their win over Terengganu at the Batu Berendam Stadium.
Playing with a changed line-up, the team romped to a 68-28 win over the East Coast state.
The FT team led 44-11 in the first half and could have won with a higher margin had they not let the throttle off.
With two wins from two matches, FT are on second spot in Group A behind Selangor, who lead the table on a better attacking differential.
The FT side play Pahang tomorrow in a match they are expected to win. The crucial match for the FT team would be against Negri Sembilan on Sunday. A win over the Negri side would seal a semi-final berth.
