Malaysia miss out on final after defeat to HK


KUALA LUMPUR: The national men’s Under-20 rugby 7s team’s hopes of reaching the final of the Asia Rugby Championship were dashed after losing to Hong Kong in the semi-finals in Bihar, India, yesterday.

The side, coached by Syed Shazril Syed Mahadzir, had to concede to Hong Kong’s dominance, with the latter scoring 33 points compared to Malaysia’s five, which came from a solitary try by Luqmanul Hakim Ramli.
