Asean Grand Prix: Thais dump Indonesians ahead of PH showdown

Thailand didn’t hold punches against Indonesia, scoring a dominating 25-16, 25-17, 25-21 triumph in the Asean Volleyball Grand Prix second leg at Sta. Rosa multi-purpose gym in Laguna Friday night.

Bringing in their top-tier players like Pleumjit Thinkaow and Chatchu-on Moksri, the Thais quickly took the first two sets before coasting for the win against the hapless Indonesians.

Thailand will test the mettle of host the Philippines on Saturday with both teams eyeing for a second win in the four-nation tournament meant as a testing ground for the Southeast Asian Games.

Indonesia, which narrowly defeated the Philippines in the first leg to take second place, hopes to bounce back Saturday when it goes against fellow opening-day loser Vietnam.
