>> Hanoi and Petrosetco HCM City make men’s team finals
Tran Tuan Quynh gave Hanoi a sweet start with his 3-1 first-game win over Petrosetco’s Nguyen Thanh Luan.
Dao Duy Hoang equalised the score after edging out Hanoi’s Nguyen Anh Tu 3-2 in the second match, but only to see Phan Huy Hoang restore Hanoi’s lead with a third-game 3-1 victory against To Duc Hoang.
Duy Hoang again lit up Petrosetco’s hope as he managed to beat experienced Tuan Quynh 3-1 in the fourth game and level the score 2-2. However, Anh Tu extinguished Petrosetco’s efforts at resurgence by claiming the decisive match against Thanh Luan to secure Hanoi an overall 3-2 victory.
The People’s Public Security team overcame the Army team 3-2 in a dramatic finals clash yesterday and claimed this year’s women’s team championship title. Their first victories came from Phan Hoang Tuong Giang against Luong Thi Tam and Vu Thi Ha, and the remaining win by Nguyen Thi Viet Linh against Luong Thi Tam.
On the same day, Army pair Luong Tien Dat and Duong Thi Mai, beat teammates Bui The Nghia – Bui Dieu Linh 3-1 in the mixed doubles semifinals to set up a finals clash, scheduled for tonight. The pair will face Dao Duy Hoang (Petrosetco) and Phan Hoang Tuong Giang (People’s Public Security), who crushed Nguyen Ngoc Yen Nhi (Petrosetco) and Tran Hoai Nam (HCM City) 3-1 in the other semifinals.
