IT WAS sweet revenge for shuttler Muhammad Thaqif Shaz Mohd Shazlan when he defeated Salehuddin Ali Sadikin in the Boys’ Singles Under-18 category.

The 16-year-old from SMK Bukit Rahman Putra breezed through an action-packed match by toppling Salehuddin 21-13, 21-12 during the Gombak District School Sports Council (MSSD) Badminton Championship held at ASB Badminton Hall in Bandar Baru Rawang, Selangor.
