In the second edition of the tournament in Malaysia last year, Ratnam defeated Nepalese outfit Manang Marshyangdi Club 2-0 before going down 0-3 to Dordoi-Dynamo Naryn (Kyrgyzstan) and 1-2 to Vakhsh Qughonteppa (Tajikistan).

Ratnam retained their Premier League-title from 2006 by winning against Saunders in the Premiership-final in november 2007. This year had been a change in the way of playing the league.
