TWO quick fire tries in the first five minutes put English College (EC) in the driver’s seat towards their maiden Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) Premier 7s after a pulsating 15-12 win over local rivals, Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail (SSTMI) at the MCKK rugby field.

In an exciting end to the 10th edition, EC (also known as Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar) had been placed as favourites, having won their first title since the inception of the championship in 2011.
