Salam, good day. Yonex Brunei Open Ike-Shio Cup 2010 which has started on the 24th January ended last evening at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex Indoor Stadium. The six day long tournament has attracted more than 400 participants in various categories which also has pulled large crowd to watch the matches. Beside the final matches last evening, also as the main attraction was the exhibition match by the Japanese Olympic shuttlers of Reiko Shiota and Shintaro Ikeda as well as another two players *I didn't get their names, but they are really really really exhilirating*. Big big big round of applause to Brunei National Badminton Association and Nippon Badminton Association with the support of the Embassy of Japan in Brunei Darussalam and the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports on their efforts to organised such tournament in the Sultanate:)
