Goan shuttlers tasted success in the doubles events at the Yonex Sunrise West Zone Inter-State & Zonal Junior (U19) and Senior Badminton Championships 2022 organised by Maharashtra Badminton Association in Parbhani.
The teams of Arjun Fallary-Tejan Fallary (men's doubles), Aryaman Saraf- Yash Harlarnkar (boys doubles), Anar Singbal-Neha Sahakari (girls doubles) and Tejan Fallary-Yasmin Sayed (mixed doubles) secured bronze medals.
Goa Badminton Association secretary Sandeep Heble focussed on the positives from the tournament, saying: "This was a good learning experience for our young team. Performances by some of the younger players such as Yash Desai, Anish Kamath, Aarohi Coutoncar, Nishant Shenai, Arjun Fallary and a few others has been encouraging. Though we could not win many medals, our players got to compete with some top ranked India stars and are motivated to work harder, and reduce the gap in levels which are there presently. Badminton is growing rapidly in Goa and future looks bright."
