They took home RM500, a Nestle hamper and goodies sponsored by Great Eastern and RSH sports equipment.

Team captain Izzahar Ramli, 24, said the victory here was their second, having emerged triumphant at the Penang Open Dodgeball Tournament last month.

“The prize money certainly comes in handy as we can now use it to fund our competition at the National Dodgeball Tournament next week.

“The victory was sweet and a boost to our confidence.

“The competition provided us a chance to gauge ourselves on where we stand against certain teams with different kinds of play.

“We can use it to improve on our weaknesses before we go for the next competition,” he said after the prize presentation yesterday.

Izzahar said the team comprised mostly students including those from Saudi Arabia, Sarawak and Sabah.

He added that dodgeball competitions needed to be held regularly as the game was only popular in big cities like Kuala Lumpur now.

Coming in second and third were teams Dodgelers and Great Eastern’s Legency respectively, which took home RM300 and RM200.

Both teams also received a Nestle hamper each, and goodies sponsored by Great Eastern and RSH sports equipment.
