Kota Kinabalu: Team MMT Junior captured the Under-10 title at the Young Rhinos Grassroots football tournament held at the Likas Stadium over the weekend.
They edged AT Labuan 1-0 with the winning goal scored by Marjinus Musa in a tense final.
The interior team had earlier topped Group C and went on to beat SK Likas 2-0 in the quarter-final before Asmari Amran’s acrobatic bicycle kick sealed a 1-0 over Tabs Bandaraya in the semi-final.

He also expressed his gratitude to the team manager Gideon Gadit, assistant coach Charlie Vicente and the parents for their roles in the success.
