GEORGE TOWN: Selangor’s Nur Azriyn Ayub bagged a double for Malaysia at the recent Badminton Asia Under-16 Championships at the Brunei National Indoor Stadium in Bandar Seri Begawan.
The Bukit Jalil Sports School student defeated Indonesian Kenas Adi Haryanto 21-15, 21-13 in the boys’ final.
Nur Azriyn then teamed up with Teo Ee Yi to defeat compatriots Tan Wing Sham-Heg Wei Keat 21-16, 21-16 in the all-Malaysian boys’ doubles final.
Wei Keat made up for his disappointment in the boys’ doubles final by delivering Malaysia’s third title in the competition in the mixed doubles category.
