Published on: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jun 10, 2025 By: Ibrahim Tabir Text Size: Anil, who is also Lahad Datu Umno Youth Chief cum Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth Exco, was previously among those mentioned as a potential BN candidate for the Kunak state constituency in the upcoming election. KUNAK: Sabah Football Association (Safa) Kunak President, Dato' Sri Anil Sandhu, announced his resignation effective Sunday after 14 years of service. He said the decision was made after several discussions, including with the district-level football body committee. Advertisement 'One of the reasons I am stepping down is to fully focus on preparations for the upcoming State Election (PRN), especially in Kunak,' he said on Sunday. He was met at the Kunak Town Field while witnessing the football final organised by Safa Kunak between Mostyn FC and Uncle Chang FC. In the match, Uncle Chang FC from Semporna emerged champions through a penalty shootout after both teams were tied without goals at the end of the match. Anil, who is also Lahad Datu Umno Youth Chief cum Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth Exco, was previously among those mentioned as a potential BN candidate for the Kunak state constituency in the upcoming election. Other than that, he said, it is time for him to give space and opportunity to other individuals to lead Safa Kunak. 'I hope this football association will continue to achieve greater success in the future. Thank you to all parties, agencies, and departments involved either directly or indirectly in supporting each sports development programme, especially football, in this district,' he said. Safa Kunak recorded several achievements under his leadership, including the discovery of several Under-23 and Under-18 young players who were featured in the State Safa squad, as well as national-level tournaments. Anil said he will continue to give strong support to local teams in the district striving to produce young talents in football and other sports development. On the same matter, he said the development of sports facilities should be expedited, with the need for a sports complex in Kunak being a key priority to ensure athletes have proper and comfortable facilities across various sports. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Bromell scorches to 100m gold
Published on: Sunday, June 08, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 08, 2025 By: AFP Text Size: (From left to right) Americans Courtney Lindsey, Fred Kerley and Trayvon Bromell compete in the men's 100m event of the Diamond League meeting at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. ROME: American Trayvon Bromell set the fastest time over the 100m this season as he won the Rome Diamond League in 9.84 seconds on Friday. Bromell, a two-time world outdoor bronze medallist and 2016 world indoor champion, dominated the field, with compatriot Fred Kerley coming in fifth in 10.06sec. Advertisement Cameroon's Emmanuel Eseme (9.99) and Kenya's Ferdinand Omanyala (10.01) rounded out the podium in the blue riband event. Kenya's Beatrice Chebet, who won Olympic golds in the 5,000 and 10,000m in Paris last year, posted the second fastest time of all time in the women's 5,000m, clocking 14:03.69 after a stunning solo breakaway at the Stadio Olimpico. It was just three seconds off Gudaf Tsegay's world record set in Eugene in 2023, the Ethiopian finishing third in the Italian capital as the field struggled with Chebet's kick four laps out from the finish. 'I was planning to run 14:15, but I felt like my body was moving and I decided to go,' said Chebet. Advertisement 'So I see that my body is in a good shape and I am capable of of the world record. So now I am going home and will prepare for it. Everything is possible. If I get someone who will push me up to 3000, it is possible.' Another Olympic champion, Quincy Hall of the USA, held his nerve to claim victory in the men's 400m in 44.22sec, winning in a photo finish from fast-finishing South African Zakithi Nene. There was a first Diamond League win since 2022 for Sandi Morris in the women's pole vault, the American clearing 4.80m for the victory. 'Today is monumental for me on a personal level,' said Morris, a three-time world silver medallist. 'I have been fighting with problems with my shoulder so I have to keep the volume of jumps lower. I really wanted to keep jumping but I also listen to my goals.' There was, however, no glory for Gianmarco Tamberi in the men's high jump in front of his adoring fans. The joint 2020 Olympic gold medallist, also the current European and world champion, bombed out at a lowly 2.16m in a competition won by South Korea's Sanghyeok Woo, with a best of 2.32m. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
