Boys Under 19

A real good day for the team as we won 3 out of the four finals that we contested. Nur Aliah was the real surprise as she beat Cheng Nga Ching of HK who was the top seed and never lost to any of the Malaysians. Aliah raised her game today and played exceptionally well and got her just reward by winning in 5 to give us a great start.

Siva and Zoe was up next and this was so close with Zoe playing really well to go 2-0 up. Sivasangari managed to win the 3rd but was struggling in the 4th as Zoe managed to reach matchball. Sivasangari saved it and managed to win 12-10 to force a 5th. A similar story in the 5th where Zoe again had matchballs a few times and just could not close it and that allowed Sivasangari to close it 13-11. Hard luck Zoe and congrats to Sivasangari!
Gurshan was up next and he gave it a real good go. He won the 1st but Kush upped his game to lead 2-1. Gurshan staged a strong fight back and won the 4 with the 5th neck to neck. Gurshan managed to get an 8-6 and 9-7 lead but Kush kept his composure and played some brilliant squash to win it 11-9 and winning the Under 17 title. Another one so close yet so far.

Yow was next on and he was in total control against the Jordanian and won easily. The rest of the players won their matches to finish 5th except Addeen and Eugene who finished 6th and 9th respectively.

We had to rush back to the hotel immediately after Yow's match to check out and go to the airport and missed the prize giving ceremony in the process due to our early flight out of Kish Island.

15th Asian Junior Team Championship 2011

15th Asian Junior Team Championship 2011
26th – 29th Jan 2011
Ratmalana, Sri Lanka

India (Boys) and Hong Kong (Girls) are the Champions of the 15th Asian Junior Team Championship 2001 in the Ratmalana Air Force Squash Complex.

In the 1st Final, in a repeat of the 16th Asian Games in Guanghzou, where also Hong Kong played Malaysia in the Final, but at the Senior level, where Malaysia went on to beat Hong Kong. But in today’s final Hong Kong got the better of Malaysia.
Hong Kong No 1, Tong Tze Wing started the win by beating Tan Yan Xin, 3/0 in 36 mins with a score of 5, 8 and 7. Hong Kong No 2, Ho Kar Po carried on with a win over Vanessa Raj also 3/0 and 36 mins, but with the score of 2, 7 and 11

In the Boys Final, India upset the favourite Pakistan 2/1, with Ramit Tandon and Mahesh Mangaonkar winning their matches for India. Ramit is the hero for India when he had to battle Danish Atlas Khan for 1 hour and 30 mins, to win 3/2 and won the 1st point for India. Ramit won the 1st set, 11 – 7 creating great excitement and expectation from the Indian team and supports. He lost the 2nd set, 6-11, but came back strongly in the 3rd winning 11-9. Danish then took the 4th set at 11-8, setting a tough 5th set ahead. The 2 players great squash, but Ramit finally won at 11-9. It was a great match and the crowd were entertained to a high level of squash, that kept everyone glued to their seats until the very last point. Pakistan No 2, Nisiri Iqbal then beat Abhishek Pradhan 3/0 in 30 mins with the score of 4, 7 and 3.
Finally it was done to the 3rd players of both team to deliver the wining point. Mahesh Mongaonkar played a steady game and won 3/0 with the score of 7, 2 and 6, giving India a historical win over Pakistan.

The trophies were presented to the winning Teams by the President of the Asian Squash Federation, Dato A Sani Karim

Asian Junior Team Championship 2011: Update

Here are the results for today.
Girls
Malaysia beat Singapore 2-0
Tan Yan Xin beat Mao Shi Hui 11/5/, 11/8, 13/11
Celine Yeap beat Sherilyn Yang 11/7, 13/11, 11/8

The girls did what was expected but not without some hiccups along the way. They will play Hong Kong tomorrow who beat India 2-0

Boys
Malaysia lost to India 2-0
Muhd. Zul Azri lost to Ramit  11/5, 11/7, 11/2
Sanjay Singh lost to Mahesh Mangaonkar 11/8, 11/7, 11/4

India proved too good against our boys. The boys did put on a good performance and gave their all but the very experienced Indian boys played the crucial rallies well and it told.

Malaysia beat Sri Lanka 3-0
Muhd. Zul Azri beat Gihan Suwaris 11/9, 11/1, 11/8
Mohd. Addeen Idrakie beat Binura Jayasuriya 8/11, 11/5, 4/11, 11/6, 11/3
Sanjay Singh beat Dilshan Gunawardene 11/0, 11/2, 11/4

Azri and Sanjay gave the team the win when both of them dispatched their opponents 3-0. Addeen on the other hand struggled to beat his opponent due to his inability to get length.

The boys will play India in the semis and the girls will play Singapore later in the evening.

Asian Junior Team Championship 2011

Biggest result of the day! :)

Girls

Malaysia beat India 2-1
Tan Yan Xin beat A. Anaka 2/11, 11/7, 3/11, 11/9, 11/5
Vanessa Raj beat Saumya Karki 11/5, 13/11, 3/11, 11/7
Yong Sue Ann lost to B. Aparajitha 7/11, 12/10, 11/8, 11/7

The girls performed magnificently and the reward was beating India and in the process drawing Singapore in the semis.
Yan Xin put on a great performance to upset Anaka despite being 2-1 down to give the other girls a boost.
Sue Ann then started well and was nearly 2-0 up but could not close the 2nd game and eventually lost it 3-1 in a very tight encounter.

Vanessa then stepped up and put on a performance that was incredibly mature beyond her age to give us the match.
This augurs well for us as 3 of our girls can still play for a few more editions.
