JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia crashed to a straight-set defeat to
Thailand in the second day of the Asia-Pacific Volleyball Cup
men's volleyball tournament in Kurume, Japan yesterday.

The 15-4, 15-5, 15-9 drubbing came just one day after
Indonesia opened its campaign with a 12-15, 15-1, 15-3, 15-5 win
over Vietnam on Wednesday.

In other action on the day, defending champion Japan had
little trouble defeating Malaysia 15-1, 15-7, 15-2. Japan and
Thailand, last year's runner-up, remained unbeaten after
yesterday's matches.

Six teams will battle it out in the round-robin championships.
