Bright start for Abahani eves


Defending champions Abahani crushed Bangladesh Chemical and Perfumery Society 3-0 in their opening match of the AB Bank Women's Table Tennis League yesterday.

Jayati blanked Chemical's Snigdha 3-0 while Rumi and Soma both came back from a set down to beat Synthi and Ripa respectively by identical 3-1 margins at the Woodenfloor Gymnasium.

Title aspirants Biman won their second consecutive match when the national airliner downed Moler TTC 3-0. In another match, Lalbagh TTA defeated Bangladesh Youngs Club 3-1.

Meanwhile, the men's super league will begin today at the same venue with five teams -- Biman, Sheikh Russel, Ajax, Armanitola and Wari -- competing in the championship leg.
