NAYPYITAW: Disappointment was written all over the faces of back-up shuttlers Ow Yao Han and Teo Kok Siang after they went down in a whimper in the semi-final of the men’s doubles event at the SEA Games on Friday.

It was not so much because of their defeats with their senior partners – Lim Khim Wah and Goh V Shem - respectively but for the disruption they had to endure over the last three months.
