Four STAR players have been selected to represent Cobra teams for the junior U16 and U18 categories for the Bangkok International 10s rugby tournament this weekend. The junior international competition, hosted by DHL BLRFC, will feature teams from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
The Men's International 10's tournament will feature teams from Australia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand (including Caleb Ralph), South Africa and Thailand, including a number of veteran and "Golden Oldies" teams.
Three STAR players will represent the U18 team. They are Ammar from Blue House, Hadi from White House and Khairi Hisyam from Red House.
The sole player from STAR for the U16 team is Isyraf from Black House.
Team manager for the junior teams is Cikgu Naha, the KOKO teacher.
Special mention must be made for Hadi. His father is a lorry driver and with 10 other siblings life must be quite tough for him. While other students are using iPhone, Android and Blackberry, Hadi is the only student without a handphone and without much extra money but his commitment to the school rugby team is something we all must cherish. If you wish to contribute some money, call Cikgu Naha at 013-5845677.
