Taiwan pocketed three gold medals and one silver in the Fourth World Woodball Championship that concluded Sunday in Bangkok, Thailand, sources from the Chinese Taipei Woodball Association said Tuesday. Taiwan won the women's group category title for the fourth consecutive championship, the association said. Thailand won second place, followed by Hong Kong. The host team took the men's group title, with Taiwan taking silver and Hong Kong in third place. Chiang Fang-yu and Chen Chih-fu won the other two golds in the women's and men's individual events, respectively. Around 200 players from 18 countries competed in this year's championships, which took place March 31-April 4. Woodball is a relatively recent sport created by Wong Ming-hui, a former chairman of the Chinese Taipei Woodball Association, in which players use mallets to hit a ball through a series of gates. The game can be played on grass, sand or indoors. The World Woodball Championships are held once every two years.
