Jr CircuitSiblings from Selangor stole the limelight in the 100PLUS National Junior Badminton Circuit Zone A (2nd-Leg) held at the Perak Academy Badminton Hall, Jalan Meru, Jelapang in Perak.

The Karupatheven siblings came out tops in the girls’ category with elder sister Bhirentha living up to her favourite tag in the Under-18 singles. The top seed, however, was made to slog for 40 minutes by compatriot and second seed Teoh Mei Ying before carving out a 19-21, 21-12, 21-15 win for the title.

Not to be undone Letshanaa, the top seed in the Girls’ Under-12 ran away with a 21-12, 21-12 win in the final against Penang’s Tan Zhing Yi. Letshanaa’s hopes of a double crumbled when she and Maria Ngor Zhuang Zhi were beaten 22-24, 16-21 by the Cheng sisters from Kedah – Su Hui and Su Yin, the top seeds in the doubles final.

The Karupathevans, however, suffered a dent in the boys’ category when Jhothiswaran, the top seed was beaten by compatriot Lim Yik Fong (3rd seed) 21-17, 18-21, 21-13 in the Boys’ Under-16 singles final after battling for 65 minutes.

The Radhakrishnan sisters from Selangor ruled the Girls’ Under-14 catgeory. No 1 seed Kasturi breezed past Kedah’s Ng Jia Shuen 21-12, 21-10 in the singles final. Kasturi later teamed up with sister Venosha to win the doubles with an upset 21-14, 21-15 win over top seeds H’Ng Wen Geen-Nur Sahira Puzi of Kedah..

Selangor and Penang won the bulk of the titles at stake – sharing seven each while Perak and Kedah won one each.

Penang won the Boys’ Under-18 singles when Yeoh Seng Zoe defeated Selangor’s Shahzan Shah Mishaful 21-14, 21-14 in the final. The Boys’ Under-18 doubles went Selangor’s way with top seeds Low Hang Yi-Woon Man Hung coming off 18-21, 21-15, 21-19 winners over Penang’s Tan Hun Boon-Yeoh Seng Zoe in the final.
