Everyone gathered at school at the ungodly hour of 4.30 in the morning. The bus was scheduled to leave our school by 4.45 am in order to reach SMK Kepong by 5 am. Fortunately, everyone was on time and we left school as scheduled. At SMK Kepong, we picked up supporters and competitors from Kepong and Taman Seraya.

After a nearly 2 hour drive, we finally reached our destination - Kuala Selangor Indoor Stadium. Once there, supporters helped the team get ready just in time for registration.

The competition started with a briefing by the State Cadet Officer, Tuan Manimaran who was also the Chief Marshall for the day. Competitors were to head to the Quarantine Room and supporters were given places to sit and spectate in the stands.

Heartfelt thanks to the team for working so hard! The division is so proud of the five of you! Also, thank you to our Area Officers and Trainers for working with the team. Nothing could have been achieved without your help and dedication.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Overall a day well spent, even if it was a long 14 hours.
