Kepong BC showed signs of life when their mixed doubles pair, Goh Boon Sze-Cheng Su Hui overcame Eng Chun Yu-Siti Nurshuhaini Azman 3-1 followed by a win by Erica Hoh Jing Li.
But the door was slammed shut by KSBC’s, Muhammad Firdaus Azman-Muhammad Afiq Fahmi Mohd Azlan who defeated KBC’s, Muhammad Adam Shaz Mohd Shazlan-Si Chin Sian (3-0).
“Actually, I am very proud of the revival showed by boys’ singles, Chia Jen Hong after he lost in the game against Bukit Cheras BC yesterday. I was also confident of the capabilities of our girls doubles pair, who contributed points to our team,” said Azman when met after the game against Kepong BC.
“I am proud of the boy’s doubles performance who have fought tooth and nail on court to ensure that we have won all the ties in Ampang,” he added.
In Division 2, Ayer Itam BC also maintained their unbeaten record after overcoming Serdang BC and PGBC in tight affairs while Klang Rising BC are also in contention for the two automatic slots to Division 1 next season after finishing this leg in first and second respectively.
