Imphal, June 16 2009:
K Cherish added one more gold on the penultimate day of the 5th Governor's Cup state level Fencing Championship at Khuman Lampak indoor stadium today to preserve MIIS's top position.
Even though SAI RC fencers collected three of the yellow metals today, Cherish bagged the junior girls sabre event gold to ensure MIIS stay ahead in the race for the championship crown with a tally of seven gold, eight silver and 13 bronze medals.
SAI RC are currently on second position on five gold, three silver and 20 bronze medals after S Omita and RK Rabika respectively won the junior girls foil and epee finals followed by H Raju's triumph in the junior boys foil event.
S Roshan ensured UPAA sustain its third position hold winning his unit's fifth gold medal with success in the junior boys epee final today.
Even though the junior sabre final tomorrow pits SAI's A Ashanta against M Solik (UPAA), the former unit is assured of the runners-up spot as they are 14 points ahead of UPAA.
