The PNG Muruks, Singapore Wombats, Thailand Tigers and the AFL Pakistan Markhors are the toast of Asian football after deservedly taking home their respective division’s silverware on the weekend!

The PNG Muruks became back to back Austhai Geophysical Division 1 Champions after a tightly fought battle against the highly respected AFL Indonesia Volcanoes by three points. The Muruks frightening class and mosquito-fleet speed was on display and they were able to add enough scoreboard pressure when it mattered. To their credit, the Volcanoes went down fighting and can be proud of their efforts after defeating the Muruks by 10 points in their opening match.

The back-to-back Muruks are all smiles.

The Singapore Wombettes achieved the ultimate glory of women’s football in Asia by taking out the Thai Expat Club’s Women’s Division after defeating the Malaysian Warrior Women by seven points. The Wombettes went undefeated throughout their impressive campaign and thoroughly deserved to hoist their first-ever AFLW trophy in just their second attempt at this level and are a powerhouse in the making.
