SMK Sri Mersing (SMSM) ended Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sports School (SSTMI)’s reign in the Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) Premier 7s after causing an upset to win 14-12 in the final at Kuala Kangsar last weekend.

SSTMI – four-time holders of the prestigious N.J. Ryan Trophy – went into the match as favourites to win the title for the fifth time, only for SMSM’s Muhammad Faiq Aslah Mohd Satar to surprise the holders with a brilliant solo run before following up with a conversion to put his team 7-0 in the lead.
