| Top seed Danish upstages Raif in Under-10 final Posted: 21 Jan 2013 04:21 AM PST SIBLINGS Adam Danish and Adam Raif Iman engaged in a family affair as they tussled for the top two positions in the combined Under-10 foil contest at the inaugural Kuala Lumpur Fencing Club (KLFC) internal championships at the club's newly set-up training centre in Petaling Jaya at the end of last year. In the preliminary stages, both the SK Taman Tun Dr Ismail 1 pupils claimed the top spot in their respective groups to enter the direct elimination rounds as the top two ranked entries. And the 10-year-old Danish lived up to his billing as the top seed, with a 10-7 victory over the nine-year-old Raif in the final. Danish said it had been great fun learning fencing and competing at club level locally and abroad over the past two years. "It has been wonderful joining various junior competitions including tournaments in Singapore. I am eager to improve my skills to subdue my opponents in competitions. I am always excited about the opportunities to take part in tournaments," he said. The combined Under-10 category drew a total of 10 competitors while only four fencers took part in the combined Under-16 foil section, where the sole girl Brittni Tye joined the trio of Tristan Cheng, Hans Yoong and Anders Yoong. Favourite Tristan faced an untroubled run in the group encounters with three wins and went on to defeat Hans 15-8 in the final. KLFC chief coach Mohd Zainal Abidin admitted they struggled in getting their trainees to feature in the recent one-day tournament. "Most of them went away for their year-end holidays. We hosted the tournament as part of our programme before the official launch," he said. Zainal, a two-time Malaysia Games men's individual foil gold medallist, took charge of the KLFC training camp in its efforts to offer a conducive training environment for youngsters learning the art of sword fighting in mid-October. Currently, they have a group of 30 students training under the programme. Following the club's official launch earlier this month, they are hoping to attain steady growth by attracting more newcomers to explore fencing. |
