Jamnabai Narsee kept Maharashtra’s flag flying high with all their three teams scoring convincing quarter-final wins to storm into the last four of the 11even Sports National Inter-Schools Table Tennis Championships being played at Abhay Prashal, Indore on Thursday.
In the Junior Girls category, Jamnabai outplayed Delhi Public school, UP 3-0 to set up a semi-final clash with Karnataka’s Jyothi Kendriya Vidyalaya, while in the Junior Boys category they got the better of Gujarat’s G G Sutaria Prathmik Shala 3-0 and will meet MAPS, Ajmer, Rajasthan for a place in the final.
Inspired by the performance of the junior teams, the Jamnabai Senior boys then kept their nerves to defeat Telangana’s Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s Public School 3-2 in a tough contest.
After the teams were locked 2-2 in the best of five match encounter, thanks to Shourya Pednekar winning both his singles matches, Jamnabai’s Varun Seth outclassed B Vrushankar 3-0 in the decider to take his team through to the semis, where they will clash with Loyola High School, Goa. Seth also made amends for his loss to SFR Snehit in the opening singles.
Shourya Pednekar
Fr. Agnel, the other Mumbai schools representing the State in the Senior Girls category, went down 1-3 to Siliguri High School, North Bengal.
