The continuous rain during the two days of the 9th International Football Club (IFC) Football 9s 2017 held in Krabi, Thailand, last week, failed to dampen the spirits of the competing teams, as Kilat Veterans went to wrest the title beating Club SC Malacca in the final.
Despite the tournament having to revert to mandatory five penalty kicks to determine the winners from the semi-finals stage because the field at the Krabi Power Plant was deemed unplayable by match officials as it was water-logged, muddy and above all dangerous for play, the games were nail biting nevertheless.
