Saga champ Harish adds another feather to his cap

SANDAKAN: Reigning Sabah Games (Saga) singles champion Harish John Manoharan, the top player from Kelab Tenis Remaja Sandakan (KTRS), has recently added another feather to his cap when he bagged the most prestigious title at the Sabah School Sports Council’s state level tennis championships – the Under-18 boys’ singles crown.

His exploit was successfully emulated by younger brother Jonathan Joshua who won the Under-12 boys’ singles title at the same tournament.

“They gave their best and contributed 2 golds, 3 silvers and a bronze medal for the Sandakan District Team,” said KTRS President Taren Sunil Manoharan in statement.
