Later on, meeting the birdie at the net to smash it into the ground is Manoharan giving the warrior duo a point.
Off of the serve, Kok is barely able to get the birdie back over the net. But it gets there… point Mustangs.

#1 Singles
Last up we have #1 singles from two players we just watched as Manoharan takes on Wang. Off of the serve the Warrior finds the open court and drops the birdie perfectly to open up the scoring.
Some more good back and forth action eventually ends when Manoharan drops the shot just over the net giving Wang no chance.
After some more quick action Wang drops in a nice shot keeping her in the match.
Despite Wang’s good effort the Warrior is just to much as she sends the birdie back from where it came from giving Manoharan the Warriors sole win by scores of 21-8 and 21-16.
The Warriors fall to the Mustangs 14-1 and move to 0-2 in the DVC as Metea Valley Badminton picks up win number one.
