PH trounces Thailand in ladies badminton
Thea Marie Pomar unfolds 11 powerful smashes to highlight her game-long exploits

MARIKINA CITY, Philippines – The Philippines’ badminton duo unleashed a superb performance on the court to exterminate the quicker Thailand pair in a 21-18, 21-17 straight sets victory Tuesday, December 2, in the ladies badminton division during the 6th ASEAN Schools Games in Marikina.

Highlighting her game-long exploits, Thea Marie Pomar unfolded 11 powerful smashes while teammate Alyssa Ysabel Leonardo provided 4 more markers to seal the win.

The Thais came out ablaze in the second set as Alisa Sapniti forged a 5-0 rally to downturn the lead, 18-12, to only one, 18-17. But the Filipinas held on to the lead, 21-17.

The Philippine team embarked on the tough battle with a 4-0 raid but Thailand kept the ball rolling as Lerthiran Panita ignited a see-saw battle with neither of the teams giving up an inch, 9-8.

Pomar broke the curse with a 5-0 run made stronger by violations committed by the Thailand duo to take the first set, 21-18.

The Filipinos controlled the rest of the game as they took advantage of the Thais’ net violations.

Despite this loss, Panita managed to vanquish Ma. Maranon of the Philippines, 22-24, 21-17, 21-13. – Rappler.com
