L to R : Ryan Yong, Ryan Wong, Samuel Chia, Darren Tan |
Ryan is defending his title here
which he won 7 months ago. This time is different as there are more non-members
participating this time around.
Ryan began his campaign against a
fast improving Wong Hong Yuan which he had beaten before in the November 2013
tournament. This time Ryan was stretched to rubber game winning by the skin of
his teeth 21-18, 15-21, 22-20. In the quarter final, Ryan again had to labour
for a three setter against a lithe Rex Hooi. Fortunately Rex tired out in the
second half of the third set and Ryan took the serving on the plate but not
without some anxious moments. In the semi-final, Ryan was up against a giant of a boy, Samuel Chia which again was stretched to a rubber game. This time Ryan had no answer to Samuel’s hard smashes using his height and strength to his full advantage. The 3rd and 4th placing was academic as Ryan breezed past his opponent by a large margin. So Ryan had to settle for a bronze medal and took home a Dunlop shoe bag with a tube of shuttle cocks.
Aaron’s mysterious poor form continued in this tournament. The only notable game was against his Putrajaya mate Darren Tan in the quarter final which he lost uncharacteristically. I was utterly disappointed and had no answers to his poor performance. It is a game which we would want to forget and move on. Darren went on to become runner-up after losing to Samuel Chia in the final.
