Being now the Champion and No.1 Ranked Singles Player, he will now represent the Province of Alberta at the National Championship in Nova Scotia in March.
Narayan seeded No.2 won in a tense three-setter against Nicolas Pittman of Concordia, with Narayan losing the first game at 16-21 and came back in the last two games 21-17, 21-17 to win the Match and take the gold.
Only two weeks ago Narayan lost to Nicolas Pitman in the Finals at the 2018-2019 ACAC Tournament #3 played at Olds College so this win at this championships stage was a great come back for him as he spent the last two weeks in intense training.
Narayan had also won the other two Tournaments (#1 & #2) played at Kings University & Nait College making his total outcome 3 wins 1 loss on the Circuit.
