Sekitar Kejohanan Ping Pong Berpasukan Kolej Mara Banting

2 Teams from Precinct 8 Club participate in the tournament i.e :-

1. Team A : Dr Hisham, Azam, Hamir and Hisham
2. Team B : Hanafi, Hakimi, Marzuki, Ishak and Adi

Team A (Group I) 

First game vs Team Maluri B, Hisham as 1st single player win his first game 3-1. Dr Hisham and Hamir playing double and win by same margin 3-1. Azam was playing as 2nd single and win by 3-0.

Second game vs Banting B...it is a must win game for Team A because Banting B has lost their first game vs KPP Tanjung Malim which is group favorite. Azam played as 1st single but lost to MFaiz 1-3. Dr Hisham and Hamir restored the parity by winning their double game 3-1 then Hisham has no other option than winning his game. Unfortunately, this time Hisham failed to conquer Aiman's consistent top spin and lost 0-3.

Last game in group stage vs KPP Tanjung Malim...and based on the opponent line up, we decided to play Hisham as 2nd single against Safaruddin as we thought he has better change instead of Azam. Thus, Azam again played as 1st single vs well known paddler Sharul Kamal and as expected Azam lost by 1-3. Dr Hisham/Hamir double vs Borhan (Mafia Ipoh)/Ruzaini. In the 1st set, fantastic game was shown by Dr Hisham & Hamir and they win it by 11-9…but failed to maintain the much needed performance and finally lost 1-3 with entertaining games. Hisham playing as 2nd single just to complete the schedule but also lost to Safaruddin 0-3, so that the end of Team A.

Team B (Group D)

Team B was drawn in Group D together with hot favorite Home Team (Syakirin&Faizal Maluri) and Saujana Team (PakTam & Azman Shah)...not much expected from them against top players. In the 1st game, they managed to beat their opponent 2-1. Hakimi was playing as 1st single and deliver the point, Marzuki & Adi played as double but lost then Hanafi grabbed the winning point in 2nd single. In 2nd game vs Team Saujana (PakTam), Hakimi lost as 1st single, Marzuki&Adi also failed as double and same goes to Ishak as 2nd single. 3rd game vs Banting A (Home Team), Hakimi is considered very luck to has the rare opportunity to play against National No.1 Syakirin. In the end, Team B also lost their last game to home team by 0-3 margin.
