Otters
down Leela for title
Fancied
Otters Club crowned themselves champions in the Rs 35,000 prize money
Transworld-NMSA Squash Tournament 2004, defeating The Leela 2-1 in the
final at the squash courts of the Navi Mumbai Sports Association, here, on
Sunday night.
Sanjay
Pawar’s 15-9, 15-6 singles victory over Supreet Singh was in vain for
The Leela, as their doubles combinations lost both the rubbers, giving
Otters Club the title. For Otters it was Tushar Bambhani and Vijay
Sonawane who restored parity with a 6-15, 15-11, 15-11 victory over Gautam
Kalani and pre-teenager Abhishek Pradhan before Avinash Bhavnani and Carl
Bokdawala defeated Chandrakant Pawar and Sanjay Goyal 15-10, 15-8 to seal
the issue.
Earlier,
in the semi-finals, while Otters Club beat Khar Gymkhana 2-1, The Leela
got past hosts NMSA by the same margin.
