BUDDING junior squash star Wong Wai-chung kept Hong Kong's colours flying in Australia by capturing the under-19 title in the Gladstone Park tournament following an extremely hectic three-day programme.
Wai-chung is on a two-week training stint at the Victoria Institute of Sports as his prize for winning the Philip Lee Memorial Award, which honours the territory's most promising junior squash player.
The 15-year-old played five matches on the first day of the tournament - beating Kennedy Ashley, Ray Manda and Paul Lughini in the under-17 age division and stopping Mark Price and Cameron Perry in the under-19 category.
He went on to reach both finals with victories over Joch Evans and Ben Gould respectively on the second day.
Wai-chung's first final was the under-17 in which he played Cameron again, and this time the Victorian number one junior turned the tables on him with a 6-9, 9-2, 9-1, 9-3 triumph.
However, the St Joseph's College pupil made amends by stopping David Talazolo 9-2, 1-9, 5-9, 9-6, 9-6 for the under-19 crown.
