Tamil Nadu girls bag both titles : The Hindu, Chennai

CHENNAI OCT. 13. Tamil Nadu pocketed the girls under-19 and under-15 titles in style on Monday in the National junior inter-State squash championship at the TNSRA-SDAT courts here.

Earlier in the day, Tamil Nadu boys were tested by the Maharashtra `B' team. Saurav Ghosal's fluency notwithstanding, Parthiban needed to touch his best to get past the higher-rated Rushabh Vora. The two having met before and Vora having had victories over the Tamil Nadu player, the contest was keen. Parthiban however emerged victorious to place Tamil Nadu on top of the pool. A loss for Parthiban could have taken the issue to the wire.
