PETALING JAYA: The redONE Selangor State Closed Squash Championships is not just an annual affair for juniors under the Selangor SRA (SRAS), but also a platform for them to get a taste of international action. “While the top four players from each category is funded by the National Sports Council (NSC), we subsidise the cost for other deserving players under SRAS programme,” said SRAS president Farid Yunus, who is also the chief executive officer of main sponsors redOne Network Sdn Bhd. The Under-19 event has been scrapped due to a lack of entries, with players aged above 17 competing in the men and women’s Open categories. Meanwhile, SRAS’ top Under-15 player, Zach Tay Jun Qian, will receive funding to play in the British Junior Open in January from redOne. RedOne also sponsors Terengganu FC and Police in the Malaysia Super League.
