KUALA LUMPUR: There was plenty of exciting action at the second qualifying round of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship held in Penang recently.
There was double joy for Lim Zheng Jie from SMK Simpang Empat after taking home the under-15 (U-15) boys' singles and the U-15 boys' doubles titles with her partner, Kuak Dolton, from SMK Berapit.
Twins Yeoh Jovy and Yeoh Covy from Han Chiang High School were crowned winners of the U-15 girls' doubles category after defeating Eirdinna Eiylia-Ng Xiao Suan from SMK Convent Green Lane and SMK Bagan Jaya, respectively.
The duo were all smiles after their win.
"We like the singles category as well. However, as sisters, we have this closeness and I think that is an advantage," said Jovy.
Jorus Lee, an SJK(C) Kampung Valdor student, claimed the U-11 boys' singles title.
In the U-13 Girls' Doubles, Chuah Tian Ning and Cynthia Ooi Jia Hui from SK Methodist and SJK(C) Kwang Hwa beat Syarifah Fashira Dayana Syed Jamalludin-Teoh Wen Yuan from SJK(C) Kay Sin and SJK(C) Jit Sin, respectively.
The third round of the qualifiers will be held in Alor Star, Kedah, from June 28-30.
