Khoo shot ahead to a 3-1 lead in the next set but it was three all when Young brought his #mash into play to lead 7-3, 9-4 and 13-1. One last stand by Khoo al this stage gave him (ve points in a row to make it 13-9. This effort knocked the wind out of a fast tiring Khoo who lost set and match without scoring any further points.
The only game that went to three sets was the EM, Ebrahim versus University's Bill Tan en- counter with Ebrahim emerging the winner at 15-11, 13-15, 15-8. Tan raced into a 10-7 lead in the last set but faded out when Ebrahim, warmed
