MRSM Balik Pulau, VI to battle in SSR Grand Final
KUALA LUMPUR: The Super Schools Rugby (SSR) Championship will see MRSM Balik Pulau face off against defending champions Victoria Institution (VI) in the Grand Final for the Tan Sri Wan Aziz Challenge Cup at the Putrajaya Equestrian Park on Sunday. This year's tournament remains Malaysia's most prestigious grassroots rugby event, offering the highest cash prizes in school competitions with the champions taking home RM15,000 and runners-up receiving RM7,000. MRSM Balik Pulau coach Izzuwan Ahmad Sukri said it is a great honour to reach the final. "We are grateful to have come this far. This is our first time in the final, and we understand the magnitude of this match. The players have worked tirelessly, and we aim to give our best against VI," he said in the pre-match press conference on Friday. Meanwhile, VI team manager Nik Sidek Nik Jaffar expressed pride in his squad while warning that their opponents would not be easily defeated. "Returning to the final is a huge achievement. Our players have shown incredible commitment this season. We expect a fierce and physical battle on Sunday." MRSM Balik Pulau have been one of SSR's biggest success stories this season, reaching the final undefeated in only their second appearance, with 191 points scored. VI, the two-time SSR champions in 2017 and 2023, are eyeing a historic third title. They have conceded just 18 points in six matches — the best defensive record this season.
