DRC Sports Foundation showed no mercy to TRP Pickleball Club as they romped to a comfortable 6-0 win in the HPL Club League at TRP Arena, Hyderabad, on Friday night.
DRC Sports Foundation Pickleball Club finished their league engagement with eight wins and a loss. Thus, they ended up on top of the table in Conference A and will now play the semifinal at Crosscourt Sports in Vattinagulapally, on May 29.
