PETALING JAYA: Veteran players Goh V Shem (pic) and Lai Pei Jing may not be lifting titles, but their hunger and fighting spirit remain undiminished against younger rivals.

Yesterday, V Shem missed out on his maiden title with South Korean Choi Sol-gyu in the Indonesian Masters after narrowly losing to homesters Raymond Indra-Nikolaus Joaquin 18-21, 21-17, 22-24 in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra.
