Squash achievements 2016

The national women’s squash players proved that they are not a one-woman (or two-women) team when they won the Asian Team Squash Championships title for a record ninth time without two of the country’s biggest stars – world No. 5 Nicol David and world No. 37 Low Wee Wern.

The Arnold sisters of Delia and Rachel, S. Sivasangari and Teh Min Jie must be delighted to have proven their critics wrong.

In Sunday’s final at the National Taiwan University in Taipei, the 17-year-old Sivasangari and 30-year-old skipper Delia turned on the style to help third-seeded Malaysia beat second-seeded India 2-0.

Good job for bringing home title number nine, girls!

If you want to know, the other eight titles came in 1992, 1996, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2014.
