Kota Kinabalu: The round robin stage of the Borneo 7s Football Cup championship ended yesterday with Wednesday FC, Brunei Veterans and MX10 all topping their respective groups.

Wednesday, from Kuala Lumpur, collected 12 points after winning all its matches. They defeated Penjara Veterans 2-0 in the day's opening match, before winning their second fixture 4-2 against V'Star.

They also collected points in their scheduled match against SESB (who did not turn up for the tournament yesterday) before later defeating La Sallites 2-0 in their final Group A match.

Group B leaders, Brunei Veterans garnered 9 points from three victories out of four matches played.

They collected their first three points without having to step into the field as their scheduled opponents, Rontogtino FC Veterans forfeited the match for arriving late from Kota Belud.

The other six points were picked-up from their matches against JKR Veteran and KK Pro's which they registered clean sheets and scored two goals against both teams.

A 2-1 defeat against Likas United prevented them from collecting full points.

Meanwhile, last year's runner-up, MX10 gained entry to the top of Group C when they collected full points after winning 2-0 against Petronas Veterans, 1-0 against Brunei Masters and 2-1 against Telta Old Guards.

The competition continues today with the Silver and Gold play-offs where the Silver Final is scheduled at 2pm and the Gold Final at 2.40pm.

There will be a prize presentation ceremony at 3pm.

The Borneo 7s tournament is one of several Borneo Cup championships that were previously organised by Borneo Sports and Adventure Holidays Sdn Bhd.
