Piala Dato Seri Rafidah (KK Open) - Cagers All Star

Q4G sent a Cagers All Star team to compete in the Piala Dato Seri Rafidah Aziz (KK Open). The team comprises 7 Form Fours plus Cikgu Jimmy, Syafiq Noh 04, Que 05, Aliep 06 and Qassim 06. Yesterday, they won the first game against Freedom (Tsung Wah Private) 54 - 22. Syafiq Noh started the game with Mokri, Justin, Syahmi and Ammar. The Form Fours played much better compared to their disastrous Spritzer Cup tournament. The Cagers led 16 - 4 after the first quarter and 26 - 8 at the half. Syafiq Noh played well but having some difficulties in following Cagers' rhythm (too fast!!) Que and Cikgu Jimmy played sporadically due to lack of stamina. Aliep and Qassim will be joining them in the next game against Tsung Wah on the 11 August.

18 August

The Cagers All Star won their last group game against KK Market 68 - 35. With the win, the Cagers All Star top their group despite losing a game to Tsung Wah 29 - 48 last week. The Cagers All Star top the group on point difference. The Cagers All Star were represented by Jimmy 91, Que 05, Allif 06, Qassim 06 and the Form Fours.
The Cagers All Star played well with Qassim and Mokri hitting 8 three pointers. The Cagers All Star need to win by 16 points to progress further. Mr. Liew instructed the Cagers to play a full court 2-1-2, making the KK Market veteran team to work hard to bring the ball up. The plan worked when the KK Market players began to tire after the first Quarter. The Cagers All Star pulled away in the second quarter to lead by 25 points at the half. In the third quarter, KK Market tried to go for broke by using the full court press. The Cagers responded well by easily breaking the full court press and extended their lead to 30 points at the break. The KK Market players were a spent force in the last quarter and the Cagers All Star breezed thru and won the game 68 - 35. The locals spectators were impressed with the Cagers All Star. It was a different game compared to the loss to Tsung Wah. Qassim and Allif played a pivotal game by bringing a steady influence and shooting to the team.
The next game is the semifinal against the i-Gate Youth (a KK team). Mr. Liew is hoping to get Syafiq Noh 04 to join the team for the next game. The game will be on 23 August, Thursday at 9:15 pm at Kg. Liman Kati. The Final will be on Saturday 25 August at 8:00 pm, the same place.
