SIBU: Sibu Division Rugby Union (SDRU) is targeting to make it to the final of the Kuching 7-a-side Rugby Tournament to be held at Song Kheng Hai Field from Oct 17-18.

Chief coach Michael Ting said their line-up will be finalised after the training stint which starts tomorrow at SMK Sacred Heart.

The Sibu team will be spearheaded by seasoned players such as Fijian Iowane Sovatabua and former national player Anthony Ting. Other players include students of SMK Sacred Heart and Kolej Vokasional Sibu.

SDRU managed to qualify for the semi-finals at last year’s tournament which was won by KL Cobra. The team’s next assignment will be the Bintulu 10-a-side in late November.

“We were the champions for three consecutive times from 2011-2013. The tournament was shelved last year.

“This year, the championship is making a comeback and we hope to continue from where we left off in 2013,” Ting said.
