For the youngsters participating in this programme, 100PLUS is the ideal drink for them especially after a strenuous game of football. 100PLUS is specially formulated to replenish body fluids, energy and electrolytes lost during the course of an active lifestyle. 100PLUS has been developed from a proven isotonic formula with an optimal combination of thirst-busting and energy-replacing ingredients.

The Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM), which is organizing the 100PLUS Super Cup, is expecting more than 120,000 players to compete this year. The figures are based on an estimated 2,000 schools taking part in all three age-group competitions. As each team can register 20 players, this means each school will have 60 players in three age categories.

RESULTS: SMK Putera (Kelantan) drew with SMK Sultan Sulaiman (Terengganu) 0-0; SMK Tengku Ampuan Durah (Negeri Sembilan) drew with SMK Anderson (Perak) 0-0; Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar (Johor) bt SMK Raja Abdullah (Johor) 1-0; SMK Syed Abu Bakar (Kedah) bt SMK Dato' Dol Said (Melaka) 3-1; SMK Tabuan Jaya (Sarawak) drew with SMK Dato' Jaafar (Perlis).
