THE Belait Pythons were celebrating well into last night after winning the Darussalam Cup for the first time after beating the Knights Rugby Football Club 14-5 at the Jerudong International School field.

Capturing their second trophy of the season, the newly crowned three-time league champions cemented their reputation as the team to beat when it comes to local rugby.

Scrum-half Max Seresio scored both their tries, with full-back Petrus Tuan converting the pair.

The Knights handed the Pythons a 10-7 defeat when the two teams met in the Brunei Rugby Football Union (BRFU) Rugby League last week, so the Belait-based team knew what to expect yesterday.

"I am very relieved to have won, it was a tough game and both teams played very careful today (Saturday)," said Pythons' captain Zakaria Hj Hamzah, whose team were beaten finalists last year.

"The Knights are one of the most improved teams in Brunei, in the final after being formed for only two years.

"It was a real territorial game today, a lot of kicking and chasing and hoping they would make mistakes. Our defence played very well today, they hit them all hard," he added.

Controlling the first period, the Pythons penned the Knights into their own half and enjoyed the majority of possession with their good passing game.

After numerous attacking chances, they finally got the try they were looking for at the stroke of half-time after a scrum when the ball was worked to Seresio, the Fijian scoring in between the posts.

The Knights came out in the second half a changed side, putting the Pythons under intense pressure and playing several minutes in their 22-metre line.

A Pythons' clearance from the middle 13 minutes into the second half saw the Knights' blind-side winger Muzani Awang catch the ball on the left and dash all the way to the try-line scoring despite being tackled by Tuan.

They were unable to convert and the momentum shifted once again after that, with the Knights looking tired and lacking the tenacious defending that distinguished them last week.

With their supporters cheering them on, the Pythons once again put their opponents under pressure and scored on the hour-mark after another scrum.

Prop Ngu Yu Teck worked the ball to Seresio who used his pace to evade his defenders and score in between the posts once again.

"It was a good effort from both teams and it was a better game than last week," said the Knights' coach Ben Bourne, adding that he was happy that the team had only let in four tries all season.

After presenting his namesake trophy the Kamaruddin Cup to the Pythons as league winners, BRFU president Dr Hj Kamaruddin Dato' Seri Paduka Hj Talib also presented them the Darussalam Cup.

THE Knights Rugby Football Club will be looking to win their fourth trophy when they face the Belait Pythons in today's Darussalam Cup Championship at the Jerudong International School field at 5pm.

Despite losing to the Knights 10-7 in last week's Brunei Rugby Football Union (BRFU) Rugby League match at the same venue, the Pythons still collected their third straight league title.

It was the first time either team had met in the league, and though the victory for the Knights earned them the same win-lose record as the Pythons, the Belait-based team took the league crown by virtue of losing the game by less than seven points.

BRFU awards one point for every loss less than seven and four points instead of three for every game in which the winning team score four tries or more.

Representing Temburong, the Knights captured the Pesta Sukan Kebangsaan (PSK) title last year to add to their Under-16 and Under-18 crowns at the national level.

They also won the Under-17 trophy in 2007, and their coach is hoping the team will be adding the Darussalam Cup to their trophy cabinet today.

"Basically we are going with the same game plan as last week," said Ben Bourne, whose side's defence won them the match. "Last week our line-outs were good but they should have been better, our scrums were weaker than normal and our handling out wide was not so good so we are going to work on those areas."

Starting last week's match with 14 players, the team did not have the chance to warm up because most of their players who are students could not make it to the pitch in time because of their classes.

"I hope if we can get there early tomorrow (Saturday) we can warm up properly and start on a good note," said Bourne when contacted yesterday.

Frustrated by their opponents' steadfast defence, the Pythons only found a gap in the Knights' back line in the final few minutes when Habib Waliyuddin scored under the posts with Petrus Tuan converting.

The full-back for both the national team and the Pythons, Tuan said the team had learnt from last week's loss.

"Last week's defeat was a good lesson for us, and yes, revenge is definitely on our minds," said Tuan.

"We are more confident now and we will try to be more organised on the offence this time ... We will attack them more. Both the tries they scored last week were because of bad defending, so that is something we can improve on," he said.

Last year's Darussalam Cup final was the talk of the town, with the Bandar Blacks beating the Pythons in a match that had to be decided by a drop-kick contest.
