The strong take from the weak and the smart take from the strong.

At last we have come to the grand ending of Ping Pong 2006. Winners.. losers… Winners went through , losers slipped… We expected a great match and it indeed was an eye catching one.

Finals evening kicked off with the outstanding Singles Finals. Singles was
followed by doubles finals between Rai/Amal and Vinoy/Madhav.
Rai/Amal team did amazingly well to reach the final stages, but found the
opponents too strong, going down in 3 sets.

When the curtain falls ..

Poornam, 15th August : The one week long blast  was brought to an end by the Prize distribution ceremony held at Poornam Food Court. The Core team members Mr. Lijoe Chakiath and Mr. Blessen Cherian were chief guests for the event. The absence of the three directors Amar, Sangeetha and Kishore who have the real passion for the game, was noticed by everyone present, and even specially mentioned by Sindhu while compering.

Rally of Wins to Ultimate Culmination: Vinoy Bags Cup of Life Singles

Poornam, 15 Aug, 2006: The developer, playing an unbeaten game throughout the series in the first Ping Pong Dhamaka, Cup of Life 2006 claimed the Champions Title, by beating the second seeded Ajin in the direct sets (21-4, 21-17, 21-10).

The top ranked player in Poornam, by winning the third set against the opponent, extended his winning streak on the board to 13 sets. He gently started with clear cut point lead and slowly picked up the pace, formed as storm, committing just few mistakes on the way to wrapping up the game just in 40 minutes.

Although Ajin made a get back in the second set, it was not enough to block the mighty smashes and well planned placements. He never loosened the grip in the third set and ruthlessly ended up the contest.

Waiting for the winners..

“I have always seen TT as a battle of minds.”- Visakh on Finals

I don’t think any of the finalists is a surprise. Each of them are very talented and more importantly they are there because of their sheer grit and determination. I have always seen TT as a battle of minds. The finalists, in all their matches exuded positive attitude and displayed the determination to come on top.
Vinoy has a reputation to be un-beatable by many of the better players here. His best asset is his cool. His game is never affected by a pressure situation. He never makes a shot in rage or desperation nor he goes into defense.
Ajin is a natural player by his years of conditioning. He does not have the “un-beatable” feather on his cap,

Vinoy on Fire.. Madhav Rocks..

Poornam, 14th August : Another great match of the day was the last match of the semi finals. – Titu / Sayuj Vs Vinoy / Madhav.
