In Division 3, we had a tightly contested league with “The Racketeers”, led by Chung Leung, edging out “It’s Coming Home”, led by Arun Kirpalani, in both the overall league table and the play-offs. Sorry Arun, guess it’s not coming home after all. Clarence Lam of “It’s Coming Home”, however, did bring it home, not dropping a single match and earning himself bragging rights for the foreseeable future.

Now Division 2, “Let’s Stroke Rubber”, led by Adrian Ng, won the overall league on points, and in this author’s eyes, the team naming competition as well. “Cupping Room”, led by Teddy Pun, however, took victory in the play-offs,courtesy of a fine summer from Christian Hibberd who has yet to lose a match.

Moving on to Division 1, we had in the play-offs the old rivalry between Eric Ho and Vincent Yu and their respective teams “The Untouchaballs” and “J.A.R.V.E.S.”. After a hotly contested play-off, “J.A.R.V.E.S.” took the victory, as well as the lead in the final league position. “Maybe the real summer league was the friends we made along the way”, said a distraught Eric after the loss. Anson Tong who remained undefeated took MVP of Division 1, and should consider perhaps quitting his day job and turning pro.

Play-offs day, in which all 22 teams played off to their final positions, was capped by an eagerly anticipated
Squash Section social MC’ed with Shaggy’s smooth Scottish accent and expertly thrown by our own Romain Chatté and the HKFC F&B team. An evening of free flow barbeque and drink.

Congratulations to all the teams and players who took part and a big shout out to resident Director of Squash Carlos Cornes and the rest of the committee for putting it all together.
