KSK RACED TO WIN AGAINST UBRC

ICG TABLE TENNIS: KSKUOB 6 - UBRC 3

It was a moment of truth for the KSKUOB Table Tennis team after winning an epic battle from a three points down to claim a 6-3 victory over Singapore's UBRC at Inter Club Games (ICG) in Melaka on Saturday. The Malaysian side had loss to the same opponent in last year's ICG.

The win at the Melaka Squash Centre was an unexpected one based on the team preparations before the tournament. After losing a number of key players since July, team manager Ken Choo did not promised a win in table tennis.

However, the fighting spirit overcame the nervousness. The confident UBRC team took a clean 3 points lead from their single players through Henrik Ong, Mike Tan and Justin.  KSK pulled back 2 points from Simon Tan and Voon Pak Ching. Then, mixed double Jennie Gong and Ken Choo equalised after winning their match 3-1.

The equaliser raised the morale of team KSKUOB. The Malaysian table tennis team earned another three points from their three pairs, Lee Kwee Yap-Kee Chuang Kok, Paul Leong-Simon Tan and Voon Pak Ching-Tan Tai Keng.

It was a great attitude shown by the KSKUOB table tennis team. After losing some key players and down with three points, they came back fighting to claim an unexpected victory.
