MOH Keen Hoo and Lim Kok Leong failed in their bid to win a second straight SEA Games men’s doubles snooker gold after they lost 1-3 in the final to Cambodia.

The reigning world amateur champions powered past Indonesia’s Gebby Putra-Dhendy Khristanto 3-1 (73-19, 58-68, 96-40, 74-15) to reach the final earlier but failed to keep the momentum going against surprise package Cambodia in the gold-medal match.
