MHA Sweeps Up Honours

 

THE Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) left no doubt as to their pedigree as they swept all but two of the honours in the Public Service Inter-Regu and Inter-Team Sepaktakraw Tournaments 2010 held at the PERSES Centre of Excellence. In the Inter-Regu tournament held on 23 January, MHA teams were unbeatable and made a complete sweep of the top four positions. In the Inter-team tournament held on 7 and 21 February, MHA Team 1 and 2 made it an all MHA final after knocking out MINDEF and NUS in the semi-finals. MHA Team 2 emerged as champions for both tournaments.

 

Edging out 28 teams from 10 government agencies in the Inter-Regu tournament and 11 from 10 in the Inter-Team tournament was not an easy feat. MHA team manager Mr Roslan Bin Kemat said: “The competition was very tight as all the teams were very good. We are pleased with the win.”

 

Mr Roslan credited their win to strong support from the management, an influx of new players, regular training and many opportunities to play together. When asked what contributed to their victory, he said: “It is the Home Team spirit, and the cooperation from our various departments. They were very supportive.”
