By Alex How

Bandar Seri Begawan - Comets softball team defeated Go Divas 116 in a nail-biting final to emerge champions of the first Ladies Softball President's Cup 2006 at Jerudong Park Country Club yesterday.

Comets had a brilliant start when they scored three innings in the first set before Go Divas made a comeback to tie 3-3 in the second inning. But Comets added one inning in the third set and held on to make it 7-3 in the fourth inning before winning 11-6.

Izzah of Comets also claimed the best player award while team mate A-chong won the best battler of the tournament.

Comets coach Md Idris paid tribute to his team who made it to their first final since forming the team. "The team had trained hard and very happy to win the final," said Md Idris. He also credited PLK Zombies and coach Kalai who had been training with Comets.

Yuliastono, the newly recruited coach for Go Divas, was a bit disappointed with the team. He added the team was under pressure and nothing had turned right for the team yesterday.

Meanwhile, Pasadena claimed third place after they beat Queenbee 25-5 in an earlier match. Eight teams included Red Arrow, Dodgettes, Knight Angels and Tornado took part in the tourney organised by Brunei Amateur Softball and Baseball Association (BASBA)

On hand to present the prizes to the winners was the president of BASBA Pehin Dato Paduka Seri Major General (Rtd) Hj Mohd Jaafar bin Hj Abd Aziz. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
