Fellow Members,
The weather has finally turned for the better and the Club looked
wonderful over the Easter holidays, thanks to the efforts of the ladies who
devote much time to producing the various floral displays. These always
bring a touch of colour to the Club for which the General Committee and
I am sure, the membership at large, are extremely grateful.
Congratulations are due this month to the Cricket Section for winning
the T20 Premier League Competition for the first time in KCC’s history. In
fact, the Section, in the capable hands of Matt Collins, and his committee
have had an incredibly successful season also winning the Sunday
Championship with the Infidels. The Junior Development Programme
goes from strength to strength under the leadership of our Head Coach,
Ryan Campbell and all of this augurs well for the future.
On the development front, preparatory work related to the tender
exercise for the roof waterproofing project, continues. Given that we are
entering the rainy season, this project may take longer to complete than
was originally envisaged with a corresponding impact on the Coffee
Shop and Office accommodation projects.
In closing, I would remind Members of the need to be tolerant of others.
Recently, we have encountered a number of unpleasant exchanges
around the Club particularly, in the Bar. The General Committee takes a
dim view of these encounters and will not hesitate to refer incidents to
the Disciplinary Committee.
Enjoy the Club!

Members will notice that the grass on

warm, humid weather. The lush winter
green grass will die off and turn brown,
however the summer grass that is currently dormant will commence to grow
and will, in no time at all, turn the field
green again!
I would like to remind Members that you
are not permitted to give your membership card to anyone else (including relatives) for them to use at KCC. We
have recently experienced an incident
whereby a Member did give his card to
someone else to use and subsequently
turned out to be an embarrassing situation. Also this is a very serious breach of
Club rules and can result in disciplinary
action being taken. If you are meeting
a guest at the Club, please remember
to ask them to wait in the reception area
until you arrive and to register them in
the registration book. Your cooperation
in this matter is appreciated.
As always, see you around the Club!

Vegetarian Set Lunch
12:00pm – 2:30pm
We have made many changes to the menu
in the Club to reflect the changing diets
people are adopting, be it for humanitarian,
health, religious reasons or just because
they simply prefer vegetarian food.
So every Monday the set lunch will be
vegetarian, however, there is no need to
wait until Monday… browse the menu and
you will find your favourites there as well.
FOOD &
BEVERAGE
Wine of the month
Hecht & Bannier,
Languedoc Rouge
AOC, 2012 France
Languedoc is blended
by the most brilliant
fruits of Syrah, with the
tasty Grenache from
Roussillon. It’s a fruity
wine, a Mediterranean
wine but stays fresh and
thirst-quenching.
HK$35 per glass • HK$155 per bottle
Hecht & Bannier, Languedoc
Blanc AOC, 2012 France
Languedoc Blanc is a blend
of two southern varietals
which complement each
other: Piquepoul Blanc and
Roussanne. The Piquepoul
Blanc brings this crunchy
and vivid character, which,
blended with the Roussanne
citrus fruits and white
flowers notes, complete
perfectly the aromatic pallet
and give us a delightful
volume in mouth.
HK$35 per glass • HK$155 per bottle

Beer of the month
Hahn Premium
Hahn Premium is a crisp
premium lager with a bitter
hoppy taste and a clean
bitter finish. This European
style full strength lager
has been compared to a
northern German Pilsener
by its brewers. The Premium
Lager does not have the
strong hoppy aroma of a
full Pilsener but don’t let this stir you from
enjoying this crisp premium beer. Best
served fairly cold (but not freezing!), Hahn
Premium soothes the palate with a smooth
body and finishes in a clean bitter bite.
HK$25 per bottle

holidays. Changed daily and just HK$63

ICC World Twenty20
KCC players representing Hong Kong
CRICKET
Hong Kong cricket ventured into unknown
­territory recently when they qualified for the
T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. KCC were
brilliantly represented by six players: Jamie
Atkinson (Captain), Waqas Barkat ( Vicecaptain), Roy Lamsam, Kinchit Shah, Ehsan
Nawas and Najeeb Amar. We were also
­represented by Club coach Ryan Campbell
who was the National Batting Coach.
Ireland and Zimbabwe, the team lost ­traction
and suffered from nerves in early losses to
Nepal and Afghanistan. The team then f­inally
showed their true selves with a brilliant win
against Test nation Bangladesh to finish the
tournament on a high and show the world how
good Hong Kong cricket is. It also should be
noted that this squad has also gained One
Day International status for the next four years.
After a terrific warm-up in Sri Lanka and Dubai,
which included wins against Netherlands,

Pictured above are
six KCC players and
coach Ryan, who
represented Hong
Kong at the “ICC
World Twenty20” in
Bangladesh earlier
this month. It is
hugely impressive
to have six players
and the coach from
KCC all representing
Hong Kong in a
World Cup event,
and moreover,
the team did all of
Hong Kong proud
when they beat
Bangladesh, a testplaying nation, in
their home ground.

TARTARS MATCH REPORTS
Tartars vs. Taipan CC
8 March 2014
Tartars played Taipan CC on 8 March at
the KCC. Having won the toss, Farooq
chose to bat. We had a good start from
Ashish who scored 24 and Mohammad
Tartars vs. Pakistan
Association
29 March 2014
On 29 March, Tartars played Pakistan
Association. The game started 45 minutes late so the number of overs were
reduced to 28. Pakistan Association batted first and as soon as we started, we
had action. With the very first ball of the
match, Ehsan Nawaz, our young current
international (who had just returned from
Bangladesh after playing in the game
for Hong Kong when we beat the home
side), bowled the Pakistan Association
opener and then quickly removed the
number 3 batsman in his 2nd over.
Khan who gave him good support with
24 runs but was unlucky to get out
leg-before. Then there was a very good
innings from Farooq, scoring an unbeaten 96. Ninad Shah batted well and gave
very good support with 20 runs. In total,
Tartars scored 206 runs for w5 from their
allotted 35 overs.
Ninad again bowled well and took 3
wickets for 27 runs. He had great support from Suhaib Ahmed. Two youngsters, Osama and Surin, both bowled
well with Osama taking 2 wickets on
his debut for the Tartars. Taipan were
eventually all-out for 142 runs after 30.2
overs.
Tartars started batting well with Ashish
and Hersh, who scored 27 runs in 5
overs. Unfortunately, the rain began to
come down very strongly and the game
had to be abandoned. It was a great pity.
The rain did not stop and there was no
result.

KCC Infidels – League Champions
All the other bowlers, Mustafa, Afzaal

especially in getting Tanvir Afzaal,
who had scored 77, out. We finally got
Pakistan Association all-out for 111
runs in 23.5 overs.
KCC Maidens
March proved to be a disappointing
month for the Maidens, slumping to fifth
place as the T/20 League wrapped up
the Ladies’ season.
On a far more positive note, the commitment of a core group of players throughout the year, where team has struggled
at times for numbers, must be recognised. Rida Haider, Maheen Haider,
Ahmad Anum, Amy Lai and Allyson Ko
attended over 75% of games and training sessions throughout the season.
Well done – KCC is proud of you!
There is a strong sense of excitement in
Maheen, Rida, Amy and Anum
the air as we now focus on strengthening the team for the 2014-2015 season.
We have definitive plans for raising
awareness of existing Club members,
recruitment and development so that
the Maidens become a major pillar of
strength in the Ladies’ game in the long
term.

MINI HOCKEY
GSIS All-Star 2014
HOCKEY
I was invited to umpire some of the GSIS AllStar games this year but they did not assign
any umpiring work to me so I was able to
watch our players who joined the competition
this year from outside. I can gauge the level
of our KCC players by observing players from
other clubs.
Bibi Cordero played for U12 and did play better than I expected; and Raul Deepak, Henry
Law and Zamara Bibi Cordero, our U10 players really made a lot of good passes and clear
tackling and guided their teams to the finals of
each age group but they did not get any individual prizes for their hard work.
We had sent names of 12 players who would
be joining the event – six players each from
U10 and U12 but unfortunately one of our key
players of U12 Ian Heung was injured before
the games and wasn’t able to join.
It was really good experience for all our players and an opportunity to improve specially for
Zamara, Raul and Henry who were really able
to play for KCC U12 in Khalsa mini tournament
and helped U10 win the tournament.
For my part, as a coach, I honestly nominate
our KCC players to be the best players of their
teams during the GSIS All-Star this year.

MEN’S HOCKEY
KCC C Division 3 Champions
With 11 wins and 3 draws from 16 games
the KCC C team dominated Division 3
of Hong Kong Men’s Hockey League.
The KCC C team finished the season
7 points clear on top of the table and
have been promoted to Division 2 for
next year.
The KCC A team and KCC B team both
finished mid-table and the KCC now
has teams in each of the top three divisions providing great competition
and an exciting pathway for players
to prove themselves and reach the
top levels of HK hockey. An exciting
12
season awaits KCC hockey next year.
The C team led from start to finish, losing
only two games all year. They were expertly led by Hau who has a great combination of youth and experience. The top two
leading goal scorers for the Club, Jamie
Collaco and Ken Wong, were mainstays of
the team and continue to score as the
knockout tournaments begin.
KCC A, B and C teams are all progressing in their knockout cups. The B team
are through to the semifinals and looking to end the season on a high. The C
team have been relentless, including an
8-0 win to be the clear favourites for the
Division 4/3 cup.
The D team have been knocked out of
their cup and their season ended in a
heroic double overtime gutsy display. An
admirable season finishing mid-table,
and amazingly being able to play 90% of
their games at 8:15am at the KCC – an
achievement that should be recognised.
The D team have had such an influence
this season that the bar now opens at
9:30am on a Sunday! (This is not an official KCC notice).
Never mind the Sevens,
here’s the KCC
FOOTBALL
For those who were worried about anarchy in
Bangkok, you can rest assured that the City
of Angels is still an oasis of chaotic calm. And
whilst some of the bars were pretty vacant, it
only took a few of the KCC tour party to create the liveliest Sunday scene on Sukhumvit.
A change of schedule and a clash with some
rugby event in Hong Kongmeant that this
year’s touring party was somewhat depleted when compared to the casts of thousands
that the KCC Football section has taken to
Bangkok in recent years. Nonetheless, the
2014 vintage featured a full-bodied quality
and a fruity bouquet that provided rich bottom
notes and a satisfying finish.
Gracing the tour par ty for the first time,
Darren“Candy Crush” Yan, “Del Boy”Schillaci
and Dan “Donkey Kong” Schick were quick to
catch on to the tour code, after first serving
the obligatory apprenticeship of press-ups on
airport floors, airplane aisles and shuttle bus
jump-seats. Several tour veterans who should
have known better were soon in on the act,
and by Monday Donkey Kong was not the only
tour member with rippling pectorals – even if
his arms are still wider than Rudi “Clark Kent”
Chan’s legs.
Friday evening saw the tour curtain-raiser, the
interport match against the Royal Bangkok
Sports Club, who sportingly fielded a “socially-oriented” side, having observed that
the KCC were relying on octogenarians
Gary “Rab C Nesbitt” and Jon “The Duke”
McKinley to make up the numbers. Playing
for the BrunoRuegg Cup, the KCC put a firm
14
hand on the crystal trophy, with Anthony
“Eskimo”Garreau and Boris “Tweedledee”Kam
netting in quick succession to give the greenand-whites a 2-0 advantage.
But as the octogenarians tired and the substitutes pretended to be busy with the Bangkok
Post quick crossword, RBSC turned the
screw and found just enough to edge the contest 3-2. To make matters worse, they even
won the post-match boat race.
Saturday dawned bright and sunny, with a
pleasant 35 degree heat warming the limbs
of the assembled 20-strong KCC squad, now
divided into Dragons (to contest the RBSC
7-a-side main tournament) and Royals (to
contest theglobally far more significant RBSC
7-a-side masters’ tournament). As we assembled, we heard the good news – and the bad.
First, the good news: inspirational figures
Luca “Dolmio”Merlone and Dave “Foghorn
Leghorn” Christmas had flown in the previous evening and would lead the Dragons and
Royals respectively in their usual loquacious manner.
But the bad news was bad, very bad.
Due to the election scheduled for the
following day, Bangkok would be“dry”
for 36 hours – no beer to be served
from midday Saturday to midnight
Sunday, and worse, no free Chang
beer at the (Chang beer-sponsored)
Sevens.
It was a morose band that trudged
out of the Ruamchitt Plaza. It may
be that Mally“Old Fonze” Leigh was
also morose, but as he was staying in
purpose-built accommodation at the
Sofitel, his mood was probably lightened by the fact that he had a minibar. Swallowing their disappointment,
the KCC teams promptly went out and
showed the Cox’s Road spirit by ripping
through their qualifying groups. The
Dragons won all three matches, with
Dolmio scoring at least one in each.
After an uncertain start, the Royals
showed that they were no slouches,
and with Adrian “Agassi”Geaves on
fire, battered their final opponents of
the day 4-1, with The Duke, Agassi and
Del Boy all on target, together with
Old Fonze’s guest Gareth “Cyrus the
Virus”Woodhead.
Spirits restored, spirits were also restored at the Ruamchitt Plaza, where
the upstairs bar had tired of the prohibition and were busy running down
their stock of Singha for the benefit of
thirsty footballers (and Rab C). A similar story unfolded at the venue for the
Saturday night tour dinner, awards ceremony and court sessions, where the
evening was anything but dry, especially for those who fell fowl (ouch!) of
Judge Foghorn Leghorn’s classically
random and venal verdicts.
The next day, Sevens Sunday saw another flawless sky and another set of
fine performances by the KCC contingent. The Dragons blasted through
to the quarter finals of the Cup competition (Dolmio’s greed for goals
showing no bounds) only to lose on a
penalty shoot-out to the host side. In
the Masters’ tournament, the Royals
slipped into uncharted waters with a
victory in the Cup quarter-finals, this
time on the right end of a penalty
shoot-out thanks to the composure of
Donkey Kong and Del Boy. The semis
proved just a little too much for the by
15
FOOTBALL
now depleted Royals, and although they
were buoyed by a cameo appearance
from section supremoShyamNainani,
Siam Senior grabbed the only goal of
the match to send us to the RBSC pool.
Yes, the swimming-pool– not some sort
of repechage.
With half the tour party now heading
for the airport, it was left to the mop-up
team to take over for the Sunday evening
rituals of group sing-along (thank you
E s k i m o), E n g l i s h Pre m i e r L e a g u e
drink-a-long (thank you Prav“Bald
Eagle”Bhar waj, whose designated
drinking player was the entire Tottenham
team – get there early next time, Bald
Eagle) and final sweep of the strip, which
had by now abandoned the “dry” idea
wholesale.
Once again, a stunning success but with
little to show for it except Shyam’s 670
unedited Zenfolio pages, some natty
Clinical Knights make short work of
Corinthians
KCC Knights 3 : Corinthians 0
Raz Dansanghani: “It was the best performance I’ve ever seen him make”;
Howard Leung: “Amazing Defending
Man”; Ian Nelson: “Vincent Kompany
would have been proud of that”;The
Sunday Times said: “This man knows
no bounds”; The FIFA Ballon d’Or
Committee said: “Maybe we need to rethink Cristiano Ronaldo’s award” and
Mike Tyrell said “Thank-you”.The Knights
needed a strong defensive performance
and on Sunday they got exactly that
from their enigmatic no-nonsense central defender Phil-Mofo “Should have
gone Profo” Clamp.
In the first half the Knights struggled
to generate their usual passing game
due to the Corinthians resorting to a
defensive 4-5-1 (some would say they
were scared) meaning that working the
ball through midfield was a tough ask.
Needless to say, the four Hoof-Meisters
at the back resorted to a direct style of
play, seeking to by-pass the midfield.
The opposition back four struggled to
16
cope with the Knights front two and gifted a free-kick midway through the first
half which Hin “Goal Machine” Mok duly
curled around the wall into the bottom
corner of the net.
The rest of the half was a tough battle
with a lot of work needed from the central midfield two of Francesco “Italian
Passion” Greco and Adrian “Matt-twochefs-Ski” to win and keep the ball from
the opposing three central midfielders.
Come the half-time break the Gaffer read
the riot act and demanded more from
the team in the second half, and they
delivered exactly that; but not before a
couple of scares from the opposition.
One shot was heading straight for the
bottom corner, but somehow Howard
“Stretch Armstrong” Leung managed
to touch it to the side with Razzamataz
“The Rock” Dansanghani clearing the
danger. Moments later, the Knights
found themselves exposed again thanks
to a pinpoint through-ball which found
the Corinthians striker one-on-one with
caps from the RBSC and Del Boy’s altered physique. A big thanks to Eskimo
and Dolmio for all their hard work in setting things up, and to Foghorn Leghorn
for some inspired adjudication.

the keeper; but thankfully in the time it
took the Corinthians player to set himself
to strike, Phil Clamp sprinted 20yards
and lunged infront of the inbound shot
to save the Knights blushes and to keep
the best defensive record in the Yau Yee
intact.
Following this spell of pressure, the
manager made a self-proclaimed “inspired substitution” to bring himself on
in central midfield!Almost immediately, Mike “I AM the best” Tyrrell got hold
of the ball and fired towards star-man
Hin Mok who slid the ball across to Bryn
“Billy Crystal” Solomon who sped past
three opposition defenders and slid the
ball past the keeper. With a few minutes
left in the half, the Knights stalwart captain marvellous, Ian “Look after your car
Mister” Nelson cleared the ball up-field
and Hin Mok again proved his worth by
impressively bringing the ball under control and slotting into the back of the net.

Bun-fight at the KP Corral
KCC Royals 1 : The Shooters 1
A match that came close to degenerating into the Bun-fight at the KP Corral
ended honours even after the Shooters
toe-punted in a close-range equaliser
to cancel out Anthony ‘Eric’ Garreau’s
header from a Paolo ‘Pirlo’ Giannelli
f re e -k i c k. A l ate w i th d rawa l f ro m
Paulinho McGunnigle and the continued absence of former charismatic manager Dave ‘Last’ Christmas (remember
him?), meant that the Royals had a bare
13 for this league encounter; although
the bench was a comfortingly aggressive sight, as Peter ‘Ballsy’ McMillan
and Fred ‘Umbrella’ Cheung spent the
first half doing a static warm-up that was
only marginally less energetic than the
Royals’ rather lacklustre display.
The highlights of the first half were
Gary ‘the Gutteral’ Luttrell rattling the
cross-bar from six yards and Adrian
‘Robocop’Townsend taking one for the
team in the only unpadded area on his
body. The second half trundled uneventfully on until ‘Eric’ leapt to apply his
perfectly shaped head and shoulders to
Pirlo’s deftly flighted free kick. This stung
the Shooters into a frenzy, and either
side of their toe-in for 1-1, a number of
X-rated tackles flew in; first on Robocop
(yellow card), then, unwisely, on Ballsy
(no yellow card – fair enough) and finally
on ‘Eric’ (definite yellow card).

KCC Royals 3 : USRC Experience 1
“Fahy’s a jolly good fella......Oh Joe he
isn’t”– Great Managers in the past have
often been quoted as saying “Football is
a game of two halves”, and the greatest
Manager of them all, Royals’ Manager
Dave Christmas confirmed that this is
definitely the case after witnessing the
referee blow his whistle to signal half
time on Fridaynight.
KCC Royals faced a tough challenge
as they wandered out onto the pitch to
face league leaders USRC Experience.
Midfield corporal Paolo Giannelli was
last to take the field and there was immediate concern over his lack of preparation. When questioned if he was ready
to start the match, Giannelli returned
with an enthusiastic shrug of the shoulders and a stare into space.
KCC Royals started the match on the
front foot with Rigby slotting comfortably in at left back. It was like the Pipkins
Pigsound-alike had never been away.
Within 5 minutes his opponent’s shin
had been mistaken for the ball and the
USRC No. 7 was seen gliding through
the air. Rigby’s determination stirred
the Royals and on 20 minutes, Geoff
“Argghhhh” Ho linked well with Mr.
‘please make sure you have the right
information Mister Xmas before you
write the match report’ Skilo to deliver
an inch-perfect cross to tempt big Joe
Fahy to rise like a crab and loop the ball
over the helpless USRC keeper. Geoff
could hardly contain his excitement and
this was demonstrated as he performed
a double roll on the ground followed by
a faultless clutch to his ankle.
As half time approached, Christmas
glanced to the touchline to draw inspiration from the Bench; however, he could
only see Fred, Ballsy, Rowan and Gary.
With changes made at half time, Fahy
was pushed up front; replacing Skilo
who was feeling a bit “tight”…this was
confirmed when he later left the bar
without buying a drink. Fahy showed his
aerial dominance by meeting a Merlone
corner with his head and directing the
list, and Steve ‘Mitch’ Pratt managed to
turn the heat up with a Big Daddy splash
on the prone Shooters centre back that
nearly led to World War III breaking out
(yellow card). With the referee hoisting the white flag and blowing for full
time five minutes early, there was just
enough good will left on the pitch for
the two teams to restore peace in our
time, handshakes all round and back to
the bar for an Asahi or two, where we
voted Gautam ‘Slider’ Daswani man of
the match marginally ahead of Umbrella,
whose second half header off the line
was a thing of beauty.

ball into the back of the net. His joy was
short lived as a tussle with an opponent
saw Fahy leave the field. The TV replay
(together with an expert lip reader) confirmed that Fahy responded with a push
and the riposte “so are you” after receiving an unforgivable, cutting insult of
“you’re a sissy”.
The Royals reacted well and a neat
Merlone finish secured the three points.
A late disputed USRC penalt y lef t
Christmas with the statistic that it was
scored when he was off the pitch…food
for thought. Later after the game, Skilo
offered to make a Made-to-Measure suit
for the Greatest Manager in the World
– free of charge. Local tailors, however, have found it almost impossible to
source enough material to cover the
backside of Ol’ Big Ead’s trousers and
elastic for the waistband.

LAWN BOWLS
One flight from Bangkok and the rain kept coming
What would the bowlers do without melody
Richard with his tunes was humming
For the crowd to go into ecstasy
Farmer Fung he kept on praying
He wouldn’t get beat by a lovely lady
Andy Robertson he kept on grooving
Knowing his backbone would become history
And Patrick was quietly smiling
Because he knew he had victory
Gary Hamet he kept her moving
Placing the little one on a platform for dancing
And Bob he kept on trying
But all he could get was sympathy
With the music Ellen kept Peter going
To take time out from his drinking
And Beryl with Brian was twisting
Leaving him out of breath and gasping
Our Mary she kept on bouncing
Daring the brave to match her romancing
And the party it kept on flowing
Till the clock stopped ticking
Hey Bangkok here we come running
With the camaraderie each year growing
The speed of the green resembled that
of a cabbage patch on which CF Fung
was born. True to his upbringing, he
took off with a commanding lead boasting to his opponent that even if he lost
one or two shots each end from now on,
he would still win the game. The opponent skip, Songsin, a top national and exKCC bowler quietly and patiently made a
come back to beat farmer Fung on the
last end. She received two kisses from
her admirer Bob, as promised half way
through the game, if she won. A real treat
because as a bonus it kept CF shut for
two full hours!
All other KCC rinks won with CF receiving
the wooden spoon yet again, a record
three times in a row together with earlier
club competitions.
To be fair, the Bangkok bowlers had
probably not experienced such a heavy
green before and battled hard in the
game.
Two o’clock on a wet Saturday afternoon our GM
Greg Hartigan appeared on the bowling green
believing he had the most photogenic face for
the group photo shoot. Little did he realise that
in Asia we work on IST (Indian Stretchable Time)
as expressed by Bob. Linda added, same as in
Phillipines – PST. Our Thai guests were slowly trickling in. Getting the message, Greg returned twenty minutes later well in time for the
photograph.

After a few drinks, off to the Fincher room
for an elaborate buffet and some wonderful dancing music that kept all on their
feet. Our thanks to Richard for the music,
Patrick, Mary and the organising committee for the event.
Next year, let’s have a big contingent to
Bangkok. We all know that they are extremely good hosts. So mark it in your
diary.
Cheers!

Having completed the tiring Tai Mo Shek

for the end of Triples League dinner. After
showers, we moved to the Japanese
Restaurant to enjoy food and singing.
Although it was Ching Ming Festival,
more than 50 participants turned up.
We started to enjoy food and drinks from

9:30pm until midnight.
Patrick Fong
Convenor
Men’s A Team
We are the Champions!
In my previous report I mentioned that“if
we can take maximum points in the last
game, we are sure the Champion Trophy
will be in our hands”.
As we have played our last game against
KBGC-Ain advance, our actual last game
was away at CCC on 8 February. As
Mike and Danny were away we brought
in our mighty substitutes Chadwick and
Bob. They both had a comfortable win
against Lee Ka Ho and Robin Chok,
but only saw Jimmy’s team lose by 2
shots. In the end it was a 6-2 win. That
made us 8 points ahead of second place
KBGC-B with aggregate +9.
KBGC-B played their last game against
CCC-A on 22 Februar y. They could
overtake us as champion if they beat
CCC-A by 8-0 and by more than 9 shots.
It was a very tight and exciting game that
KBGC-B only managed to win by 6-2.
Celebrations included champagne and
“ring the bell” by our deputy captain Jimmy
as thanks to everyone who support us.
I would like to pay tribute to all who represented the KCC Men’s A Team in the
Triples League this season:
Bernard Leung, Timmy Kwong, Jimmy
Chiu, Kenny Ng, Li Ying Wing, Mike
Dowie, Sebastian Cheung, Ken Chan,
Danny Ho;
Substitutes – Chadwick Chan, Bob
Mehta.
Danny Ho
A Team Captain
That will be a historic record for the Club
as well as for the sport of lawn bowls in
Hong Kong. Furthermore, our second
target is to assist C Team to get promoted to upper division. Last but not least,
B Team will fight hard to achieve crown
champion for ourselves as well. With the
support of the bowlers and the Club, we
are looking forward to achieving these
goals this year successfully.
David Leung
Men’s B Team
The Premier League has been scheduled to commence on 3 May 2014. In
accordance with the fixture, B Team
would be away to play at four different
public artificial greens, including Ap Lei
Chau, Siu Lek Yuen, Victoria Park and
Tai Po, in the upper season of the league
only. We have been fully prepared by arranging practice sessions for the players
at those greens before the competition.
As a warming up for the team, a friendly
game between B Team and C Team has
been planned before the league on 26
April at home.
This year, our primary target is to support the Men’s A Team to achieve the
crown champions for the third consecutive year at Premier League Division 1.

Pre-season Encouragement
The C Team played CSD-A in a pre-season friendly game at KCC on 6 April. I am
encouraged by our team’s performance
as we earned a very credible 4 - 4 draw
against a higher division team.
Our opponents expressed their appreciation of our KCC hospitality and
our players’ friendliness. They also expressed a desire to make this game an
annual pre-season event. Well done to
all who took part and thanks to Dad A

KCC2 – League Champion for the
Third Consecutive Year
SQUASH
This year, our Division 2 team took the league
title for the third consecutive year in the most
dramatic way. Players for this year’s team included three newly joined junior subscribers
– former Hong Kong Junior Champion Ivan
Fung, reigning Boys U17 Junior Champion
Ling to Yu (JS), former top junior player Hugo
Ho – together with Nelson Chan (team convenor), Alex Chu, Wan Tsz Ho and sporting
subscriber Neal Soo.
Before the start of the season, we knew it
was going to be tough as we had to face our
two toughest opponents – the USRC and
HKFC respectively. Both clubs had strong
teams that were capable of competing in the
league title with us. Before playing the last
match against Young Players from the Hong
Kong Sports Institute, we were still one point
behind USRC, who remained at the top of
the table for ­a lmost the entire season with
HKFC. However, with the tremendous effort produced by our boys in the last match
against Young Players, we were able to get
a 5-0 victory whilst HKFC clinched a 4-1 victory against USRC. As a r­ esult, we won the
league title, thanks to the “help” of HKFC.
On behalf of the team, I would like to say thank
you to Perrier, our title sponsor, for giving us
lots of assistance throughout the season. Also,
thanks must be given to our Squash Section
Convenor, Captain, Sub-committee and other members’ unyielding support throughout
the year. Without their support, we would not
be able to achieve such a remarkable result.

BADMINTON
On 12 April 2014, HKFC hosted the Interclub Badminton Social Tournament. The atmosphere was electric and carnival-like at
the same time, with five teams competing.
Team members had come with their friends
and families to cheer them along. The invited
teams were H.I.T, HK Electric, LRC, KCC and
HKFC. The game format was unique since it
gave opportunities to players of at least 40+ to
show off their skills. Each team played round
robin in five categories.
1) Men’s doubles 80+ (each player at least
40 years of age). Anoop Nainani and Ken
Wong, our two strongest players, teamed
up. They did not disappoint and made a
clean sweep, winning all their matches.
2) Men’s doubles 90+ (each player 45 years
of age). Michael headed this group and
won two of the four matches. So a good
result.
3) Men’s doubles 100+ (each player 50 years
of age). It turned to be a good contest with
Herbert and Deepak. Initially struggling to
find form, both of them stuck to their task
and found their footwork against old foes
HKFC.
4) Mixed doubles, obviously had to have
none other than Liza Wong, who dazzled
her opponents with her charming smile
and of course talent, with her doubles
partner to get an even result.
5) Ladies’ doubles also showed that the
KCC ladies are up to the challenge when
needed of them.
Coach Liew stood on the sidelines encouraging his team. The results with more wins in this
tournament showed his immense dedication
and coaching of the KCC team. Coach Liew’s
mantra “don’t lift and don’t give easy chance
to the opponent” was followed by the team.
All in all, a good day for the KCC team and
great work again from Anoop Nainani and
Ken Wong.
KCC badminton is showing signs as an emerging team in the Inter-club circuit. Badminton
society has some promising young players such as Alison, Brandon, Chris, Derrick,
Eugene, Tarun, Neil, Lucas and Vivek.
Cheers, Badminton Society!

Step 1: Starting Position
Grab a mattress, lie down with your back flat on the
mattress. Your feet flat on the ground, or resting
on the bench with your knees bent at a 90 degree
angle with your toes inward so they touch. Place
your hands lightly on either side of your head and
keep your elbows in. DON’T LOCK your fingers
behind your head.
Starting position
Step 2: Abs Workout
Now, begin to roll your shoulders off from the floor. Continue to push down as hard as you can
with your lower back. Your shoulders should come up off the floor only about four to six inches,
and your lower back should remain on the floor. Focus on slow controlled movement and try
squeezing your abs more at the end of the motion. Make sure to tighten your tummy during the
whole workout. Don’t cheat yourself by using momentum!
Step 3: Breathing and Ending Position
Exhale at the point you roll your shoulders off from
the floor, and begin inhaling slowly as you bring your
shoulders back down to the floor. Well done! You’ve
just done a good exercise for your abs!
Step 4: Good Tips
Perform three sets of this exercise with 15 to 20
repetitions each set, take at least two minutes break in
between each set. Perform the particular exercise at
Ending position
least two times per week with alternately. Always be sure
to ask for an assistant for an effective and secure exercise. Never attempt to hold your breath as it
may lead to serious harm to yourself such as heart attack. Remember to drink plenty of water.
It takes BRAIN and BRAWN to SPAWN the best in life!
