If Maharashtra had been on a roll, it was a downswing of sorts for the Petroleum Sports Promotion Board (PSPB) at the 76th Junior National and Youth Table Tennis Championships at the Radha Convention Centre here today.

Maharashtra, who claimed the junior boys title after 25 years, made the youth boys crown their own, humiliating Delhi 3-0 in the final even as the PSPB Youth Girls just about managed to wrest the title-title holders West Bengal were ousted earlier-from a determined Maharashtra A team. PSPB won 3-2 in a battle that lasted nearly two hours.
