Hong Kong had four players in the finals of the first Asian Junior Individual Squash Championship held in Singapore at the weekend.
Leo Au Chun-ming, a student at Jockey Club Ti-I College in Sha Tin, and Max Lee Ho-yin, from SKH St Simon's Lui Ming Choi Secondary School in Tuen Mun, clashed in the under-19 final. Max won 9-6, 9-6, 10-8 in 31 minutes.
'It was a good all-round performance from the team and we are happy to come away with a gold medal, three silvers, plus three bronzes,' said Hong Kong Squash development coach, Joe Wong Wai-chung.
'Max was consistent throughout, and Leo did very well to beat a strong Indian opponent in the quarters. He was losing 2-0, but won 3-2.'
Leung Shin-nga, Hong Kong's top-ranked female junior, was a finalist in the under-19 category. The Belilios Public School student lost to Malaysia's Lee Wee Wern 9-1, 6-9, 5-9, 4-9 in 58 minutes.
