KUALA Lumpur will be banking on Leong Jun Hao to deliver a point in the boys’ Under-12 singles contest at the upcoming national junior inter-state mixed team badminton event from June 23-26 in Penang.
After an impressive double win — winning the singles and doubles in boys’ Under-12 section — at the national junior grand prix finals and the national schools (MSSM) championships, Kuala Lumpur Badminton Association (KLBA) coach A. Sankar said it will be great if Jun Hao, a pupil at SJKC Chong Hwa, Setapak can live up to his billing as a promising talent in his age-group. After the tourney, Jun Hao will shift into low gear in training to give him more time to prepare for his UPSR examination.
