Local tug-of-war team Chainblock added their trophy collection in the regional scene after bagging top place in the Tug-of-War Championship in conjunction with Irau Aco Lun Bawang 2024 at the Lawas Stadium in Sarawak, Malaysia recently.
The leading local tug-of-war club successfully defended their title having won the same competition last year following victory against Sabah’s AF Civil.
Organised by the Lun Bawang Association of Sarawak, the 37th edition of the Irau Aco Lun Bawang featured modern and traditional sports.
The triumph came fresh from their third place finish in the Kaamatan Festival at the SMK Bahang Field in Penampang Sabah just days earlier. Gerambeat PS Sabah emerged champion in the meet with Bambarayon Tambunan Sabah taking the runners-up spot.
Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor presented the prizes. – Fadhil Yunus
