Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ellron Angin, who presented the winning prizes at the closing ceremony, said the tournament served as an important platform to unearth raw talents.
He hopes the tournament will be held much earlier next year to avoid clashing with the Hari Raya and Kaamatan celebration so that more teams can take part.
A total of 33 teams participated in the tournament jointly organised by N45 Sook community development unit and St. Gaudensius Delayan Lama youth to raise funds for the construction of the Catholic church in the village.
Also present were Ellron’s secretary Jrenues Pagut and community development unit officer Tony Talasoi.
