In the boys’ event, it was a sweet revenge for last year’s runners-up Karnataka as they made short work of defending champions Andhra Pradesh in straight games 25-17, 25-21 to lift the title.

On the other hand, the Karnataka eves entered the title round for the second year on the trot, easing past Vidarbha 25-14, 25-16, while Tamil Nadu made it to the title round in contrasting fashion after a battling 20-25, 25-9, 25-23 victory over defending champions Andhra Pradesh.
