Bengal claims two titles

SIRSA DEC. 5. Bengal could manage to win just two crowns as Maharashtra's sub-junior boys and Haryana's cadet girls snatched away two other titles in the team events of the National sub-junior table tennis championship here on Thursday.

Even as Bengal expectedly claimed the cadet boys and sub-junior girls titles, Maharashtra `A' capped a splendid run in the sub-junior boys section. Maharashtra defeated Petroleum Sports Promotion Board Academy 3-2 in the semifinal before taking care of Bengal.

The bigger surprise of the day was the 3-2 triumph of host Haryana over firm favourite Bengal. Much to the delight of the crowd, Suman pulled off both her singles before Rashu won the deciding match.
