A subset of the FISTF world rankings shows that Singapore is still the dominant force in the Asian region.
The Singapore lads hold nine of the top 20 places, followed by Australia and Japan with five apiece, and Hong Kong with one.
Rudy Hesty maintains his top place in Asia, followed by Peter Thomas, Den Mulia and Carl Young.
On the club front, Jurong Central have top spot in Asia, followed by Melbourne TFC, Northern Falcons TFC and Singapore Lions SC.
In the Veterans category, Rob Green (Northern Falcons) retains top spot in Asia, while Adam Deverell (Western Flickers) has joined him in the rankings, as well as two England-based players, Gerald Brightwell and John Devaney.
In the U19s, Singapore’s Giovanni Choong (Jurong) holds the top spot ahead of countryman Isaac Lim (Singapore Lions).
In the U15s, Northern Falcons’ Jonty Brener (Northern Falcons) is still ranked top, with Benjamin Ng (Western Flickers) in second place, and Gabriel Lombardi (Subbuteo Parramatta) in third.
And in the U12, Benjamin still holds the lead.

Plenty to battle for at the Asian Cup in Japan next June.
