HONG KONG—On the eve before officially closing for renovation, the Hong Kong Football Club indoor greens witnessed the 22nd National Indoor Singles champion from the club last Saturday, July 15, 2017.
Over the years, a total of 10 HKFC players, five from each gender, have lifted the prestigious indoor title, mostly on the club’s home greens. The semi-finals and finals in the weekend marked the last major competition the green will hold before it closes for refurbishment. The green is scheduled to re-open in six months’ time.
The men’s final saw CT Wong from HKFC playing against Imen Tang from Craigengower Cricket Club who had just won a National Fours title in the Finals Day two weeks ago. On the other hand, CT lost the Mixed Pairs and Mixed Fours finals on the same day.
The final set was very tight as both sides displayed highly accurate drawing skills. In the first set, the first seven ends were decided by a single shot. Tang won the first two ends and that’s all he got and the first set finished 2:7.
