Bangalore Club 'B' clinch cliffhanger

After Nirav Parekh and Shekarnath went down to Century Club’s Ajay Kumar and Prateek respectively, Bangalore Club got a foothold of proceedings as their doubles pair of Shekarnath and Yogin Parekh posted a 87-15 win over Seshaiah and Ajay Kumar.

Nirav returned to the table, this time against Prateek, and levelled the odds with a 45-31 win. In the match deciding game, Shekarnath put to fore a strong performance to put aside Ajay 56-31 and Century Club’s hopes of a win.

In another match, Bowring Institute ‘D’ scored a comfortable 3-1 win over Sadashivanagar ‘B’
