ITTF HongKong Junior Open - Junior Boys' Team Shine

Our Junior Boys' Team comprising Pang Xuejie, Chew Zheyu Clarence and Tay Jit Kiat achieved a Quarter Finals finish despite facing a strong competition from other Asian countries such as China, Japan and host HongKong. In the quarter finals, they faltered against Chinese Taipei by the narrowest margin of 2-3.

Pang took Singapore to a great start after clinching the first set 3-2 against Lee Chia-Sheng. However, their opponents levelled matters in the second set with Clarence losing to Hung Tzu-Hsiang. Things became even more unfavourable to our boys when Tay Jit Kiat lost the third set against Lai Yi-Yao 2-3. In the fourth set, Pang managed to calm his nerve to sweep Hung Tzu-Hsiang 3-0. All hopes were dashed when Clarence lost the deciding fifth set to Lee Chia-Sheng 0-3.

Meanwhile, Isabelle Li joined hands with players from Brazil and Chinese Taipei in the Junior Girls' Team Event and achieved a ninth position.
