Terengganu had a daunting task in the last round when they had to beat Sarawak by 4 - 0 in order to win the championship.After all the games Kuala Lumpur finished first followed by Terengganu,Sarawak and Pahang respectively.Overall our Terengganu's players has done a good job, it could has been better if player like Hashim Jusoh who is  a little bit rusty due to his busy schedule.Congratulation to Kuala Lumpur and for the host state for doing a good job.
