THIRTEEN members of the Police
Tennis Club, led by its chairman Iain Tse, visited Singapore and Hong Kong Police Tennis
Club after their 6:3 victory in the Lion CityThailand from 23-31 January where they played
two traditional interport tennis matches against their friendly rivals from the two countries.
Against the Singapore Police Tennis Team, the Hong Kong Police Tennis Club team beat them on hard court matches 6:3 - the first ever away win for the PTM. Of note was the participation of Eric Blackburn (Ex-DCP MAN and one of the founding members of PTC) who also played and won in one of the formal matches. Then it was on to Bangkok where the PTC lost six matches to three against the Royal Thai Police Tennis Team who had a handful of high standard players to choose from, including their Police Lieutenant Warapol who is an ex-Davis Cup player for Thailand. |

The trip was extremely successful in terms of the PTC projecting a positive image of the Hong Kong Police Force to its overseas counterparts post the handover. Club members also wish to express their sincere appreciation and gratitude for the warm hospitality extended by the hosting Singaporean and Royal Thai Police Tennis Teams. In other news, the men's division of the Police Tennis Club emerged league champions in the B Division in the 1999 Winter League Open Tennis Tournament (organised by the Hong Kong Tennis Association), by defeating the United Services Recreation Club 7:2 in the final matches of the season last month ¡Ð a first for the Hong Kong Police men's tennis team, and quite an accomplishment considering there are 21 teams in the league. Supporting the fine performance by PTC finals players SP Iain Tse (Captain), Inspectors Tim Yue and Lee Wing-cheung, SSgt Ricky Wong, PTRI Raymond Wong and son of WSGT 11107 John Yiu, were DMS Dick Lee Ming-kwai and PTC vice chairman Eddie Ko Chi-ming. | |
THE Police Golfing Society scored a 'repeat success' by winning both Bronze Division finals in the Alfred Dunhill Inter-Golf Society Super League Championship Autumn/Winter1998 Season, played at Kau Sai Chau Golf Course on 27 January. Police won the same competition in the earlier Spring/Summer event. The two teams managed to qualify for the semi-finals after the round robin stages held between October and December. Then in the semi-finals and finals, the Police golfers displayed their considerable skill and fighting qualities by finally winning in a very convincing fashion, thus setting the seal on a memorable year. All Police players involved throughout the competition played in the true spirit of golf and made new friends in the process. Following completion of the finals, Dunhill laid on a buffet dinner and all golfers shared an enjoyable evening reliving the events on the course. All are eagerly looking forward to the next 'tee-off' in this very prestigious and enjoyable competition. |

Services Shooting Competition (which included teams from C&E, CSD, FDS, ID, ICAC and
the HKPF) at the Kau To Shan DSSA Range on 7 February saw the Police shoot their way
to the top winning the team championship and individual titles ¡Ð which went to top guns
Sergeant Tsang Chi-ying, Sergeant Leung Wing-on, Inspector Man Kin-hung and Edgar
Yang Joe-tzi.
In the ladies' category, WPC Wong Tung-nei prevailed, with WPC Lui Siu-chong as second runner-up. |

A natural-born shooter, WPC Wong (who has only been firearms trained for 18 months), beat both men and women to win the title of Best Revolver shooter. The five-stage competition, employing barricades, tunnels and other obstacles intended to simulate a real life environment, tested shooters on speed, accuracy and the correct response in life threatening situations. The emphasis on proper procedure was reflected in the strict penalty system adopted for the game. | ||
