Rawang Badminton Club’s third annual Talent Identification Tournament proved a fruitful one, after a better-than-expected response resulted in the shortlisting of 24 talents.

A total of 118 students from the Gombak education district, including those from Hulu Selangor, Batu Arang and Kepong, were part of the one-day tournament for under-11, 14 and 16-year-olds at the All Sports Badminton Hall (ASB) in Rawang.
