¡@The men's singles (Division B) final was a breakthrough for the new generation
of young singles players with Pun Chung-wing (YL DIV) overcoming a slight hiccup
in the first game to exhaust opponent Wan Tai-mun (CP DIV). Wan could not match
the speed and agility of Pun and was beaten in straight games 18-14, 15-8.
¡@In the women's singles, Lo Yuen-yi (ITB) was up to the task of retaining her title
for the second successive year. She overwhelmed Szeto Oi-lin (WTS DIST) by 13-9, 11-0,
to win the title.
¡@The men's doubles title was again taken by reigning champions Hui Chun-tak
(MP) and Chak Wing-wah (ME DIV), who put on a commanding display of powerful
smashes and lightning reflexes to beat Lau Kwan-lap (EU NTS) and Leung Siu-kwong
(T KE) 18-15, 15-5. This was the duo's third consecutive win in as many years.
¡@In the ladies' doubles, Tong Yee-man (C DIST) and Lai Mei-wah (K RCCC) were
just too good for their opponents Tsiang Mong-yee (T KE) and Yip Kit-ching ( T HQ).
Final score: 15-2, 15-4.
¡@A new-sprung event this year for forty something and above players, the seniors'
doubles title went to Chun Chi-wah (PTU HQ) and Chu Chi-wai (TKL DIV) who beat Tsui
Ping-wah (PR PHQ) and Wong Kang-tim (KE HQ) 15-5, 15-5.
¡@The most exciting and challenging match of the competition, which had the
audience cheering for both sides, was the seniors' double encounter for 2nd runners.
It went to Leung Kwok-chun (RCCC M) and Lee Chee-tim (WCH DIV), who had to
fight for every point to overpower stubborn opponents Chow Keng-kan (W DIST) and
Ho Wing-fu (CRIME M) in three hard fought games: 10-15, 15-10, 18-14. Their
patience, perseverance, experience and determination were the deciding factors in this
remarkable encounter.
¡@In the mixed doubles final, the title went to Kan Shu-keung (T NTN) and Lai
Mei-wah who beat their equally assertive opponents Hui Chun-tak and Tsiang Mong-yee
(T KE) in two straight games: 15-12, 15-10. Kan won seven consecutive men's singles
titles up to 1993 and collected his eighth singles title last year. Meanwhile, Lai Mei-wah
distinguished herself as this year's most outstanding player.
¡@Prizes and trophies will be awarded to all winners and runners-up during the
upcoming Annual General Meeting of the Police Badminton Club 97/98.
