We are happy and pleased to share with you that our APU Cricket Club won the Bronze Medal in the prestigious SUKAN INSTITUSI PENDIDIKAN TINGGI - SUKIPT 2018 which was held earlier this month. The annual sports event was jointly organized by Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) with the cooperation of the IPT Sports Council (MASUM, MSP, MASKOM and MASISWA) took the initiative to organize SUKIPT 2018 at UKM, Bangi.
 
Cricket was introduced in SUKIPT 2018 for the first time in history, and we are glad that our cricket team was able to attain the Bronze Medal. The tournament saw participation from Malaysian public and private universities; it was an uphill battle for the team, but we were glad that they made it. 
 
Kudos to the team for the outstanding success; under the facilitation and encouragement by Mentor, Prof. Siva Muthaly.
