  • Focused on the target: Ladies taking part in the archery championship.

    In the last preliminary round matches at the NAS Sports Complex, Zabeel fought back from two sets down for a 3-2 (21-25, 25-27, 25-18, 25-16, 15-7) win against MRMR-2, while Quattro Centre defeated Tornado 3-0 (27-25, 25-19, 25-18), after both matches had turned out into inconsequential encounters.

    At the end of the qualifying, Zabeel finished their quota of three matches with seven points, while MRMR-2 ended with six points, one better than Quattro Centre who ended with five points and Al Aseefa (Tornado) finished their campaign with no points to the credit.

    Things also look interesting in Group B with MRMR-1 and Zabeel tied for the top spot with four points each, while the Khamis Esmail-led Surprise team is with three points and Al Zaeem is at the bottom of the group with one point.

    In the archery competition, Solomon Thomas of India is scheduled to take on Nada Mamdouh of Egypt in the final of the Recurve Open category, while Abdul Aziz Al Rodhan of Saudi Arabia will take on Lebanon’s Wissam Torbay for top honours in the Compound Open category.

    In the Compound Open category semi-final matches, Al Rodhan defeated Maral Chreiki of Syria 148-141, while Torbay beat Amr Ghanem of Egypt 139-137.

    In the Recurve Open semi-finals, Thomas got the better of the UAE’s Obaid Al Suwaidi 6-2, while young Mamdouh defeated Portugal’s Santos 6-2 to set up their summit clash.

    The medal contenders in the Recurve Cadets in the boys and girls under-17 were also decided. Noora Haroon will take on Maitha Abdullah in the final of the girls’ category, while Ghalia Bader will take on Fatima Mohammed for the bronze medal.

    In the boys section, Mohammed Ateeq will face Ahmed Hamad for the gold medal while Saud Rashid and Ali Ateeq tussle for the third place.

    In the padel competition, the SHM team, led by Javier Molina and Omar Al Marzouqi, advanced to the semi-finals in the team competition with a smooth 2-0 win over Marc Ruiviejo Cirera’s Lord Commanders.

    SHM will now await the winners of the last group match between M5 and Abdullah Al Maktoum team.
