Darussalam Cup rugby playoffs

The BRFU Dr Haji Kamaruddin Cup Champions (league competition) came to a close recently. Two games were played to determine placement for the Darussalam Cup (playoffs) competition which will commence this weekend, according to a BRFU press release received yesterday.

Belait Python Rugby Club emerged as the first champion of the Dr Haji Kamaruddin Cup by winning all their matches played with bonus points. However, they did not play the Knights Rugby Club, as the Knights forfeited the game, as they were short of match fit players for the match.

Three other teams also qualified for the playoffs. Bandar Blacks, The Knights and Royal Brunei Yacht Club (Yachties) became runners up, 3rd and 4th placing in the six-team round robin competition.

In the Darussalam Cup playoffs semifinal, Belait Pythons will meet RBYC Yachties whilst Bandar Blacks will face off against the Knights.

In the Dr Haji Kamaruddin Cup, Belait Pytons thrashed Yachties with the highest score in the competition 72-12 and Bandar Blacks managed to edge the Knights with a last minute try 14-0.

The kickoff for Bandar Blacks against the Knights will be at 4.15 pm today followed by the cruncher between Belait Pythons and Yachties at 8.15 pm. All games are at Belapan Stadium. We welcome all rugby fans to watch the premiere rugby competition in Brunei. Admission is free.
