APBA pact with Yonex Sunrise

VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh Badminton Association (APBA) has entered into an agreement with Yonex Sunrise Company for supply of shuttles at a subsidised price.

APBA secretary K.Ch. Punnaiah Choudary said on Monday that a barrel of shuttles costing Rs. 700 will be supplied to APBA for Rs. 575.

“Each year the company would be supplying 3,000 barrels of shuttles to the association. The district associations and clubs, promoting badminton, should make use of the opportunity,” he added.
