Sheikh Russel KC recovered from a shock opening round defeat to newcomers Palolic when the defending champions blanked Engineers Club 3-0 in the second round of the KDS Dhaka Metropolis Senior Division Table Tennis League at the Woodenfloor Gymnasium yesterday.
Palolic had to rest as Mohammadur Boys pulled out and scratched from the competition.
In other matches, Biman routed Dhaka Mariners 3-0, Ajax beat Brothers Union 3-0 and Wari defeated Armanitola by the same margin.
