PP has a very strong player for L18 category. Its champion, Joshua Panir Selvam, won all his games so far. PP has very good chance to win this category. Bukhari could not continue his winning streak in the first two games in Round 3 and 4. So, he has four points so far. Azwan Ansori also just managed to win two games. He lost to Geeneish a/l Sivalingam, the other favorite player,  from Kelang in Round 2. Going to Round 4, the last team member of L18 for PP, Eng Pi Zern, won a game and lost the other two.  

There is no one player familiar to GiLoCatur in P18 category. If not mistaken, Rabiatul Adawiyah Wahid was a dominant player in last year's tournament.

He managed to win all the next three rounds. So he has 3 points thus far. Muhd Iskandar, the other PP's player, could not manage to win his fourth round. He lost to a Petaling Utama's player. He has two pints so far.

Winnie Hong is smooth crusing to victories. She will face her tough challenger Amira Syahmina tomorrow morning. Her sister, Vickie Hong, was upset by Gombak player, Nur Madhiatul Husna in the first round. Their other teammates, Nur Fariha Jamri and Nurul Adlina scores 2 and 1 1/2 points each going to Round 4.
