During the final match, both teams showed tremendous effort to put up a decent challenge for each other and St Michael managed to give Sabah College a run for their money with tremendously improved quality of play compared to recent years.The clean match which saw light drizzles within the last quarter of the match demanded both teams to work harder to connect passes, especially on the receiving end, however overall teamwork gave spectators a good match to watch.According to Sabah OscaWarriors Chairman, Benjamin Nair, he was very pleased with the performance of the under-16 boys and he looks forward for more development for them in the near future.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
