Winter League Summary - Spring 

The winter league is now approaching the business end of the season. Into the 6^th month of games the HKFC teams are fighting it out to either win the league or finish the season in the top four to secure a place in the play-offs. Every individual match is important as this gives the team one league point with an extra point being awarded to the overall winners of the team’s matches.

Division 2

HKFC 2B led by Ho Ming Chiu have raced away to have a 9 point lead at the top of the division and have won 13 of their 16 matches played this season. Nathan L’Huillier’s 2A team are sitting in 4^th place and look to be close to securing a play-off place with a 7 point gap between them and USRC in 5^th.

Division 3

HKFC 3 convened by Terence Teo have kept up momentum from their fast start to the season. They currently lie joint top with 82 points with Young Player 5. Only losing 2 of the 17 matches played this season they have guaranteed a place in the play offs but will be looking to win the league in what is going to be a very close finale. Carmen Lee has 9 wins out of nine and remains unbeaten in the league this season.

Division 4

HKFC 4 have amazing stayed unbeaten so far this season with 14 wins out of 14. They look to have all but secured the title being 22 points ahead of second place. Well done to James Li and team for having such a great season to date. Ray Man the team’s number one has so far been unbeaten all season and tops the divisional rankings. Other players who remain unbeaten for HKFC 4 are Wilson Chan, Sean Soo, Chris Caves and Karen Lau which shows the strength of this team.

Division 5

David Robinson’s HKFC 5 team have had a good season so far in a very tight league. They currently lie in 5^th place but with only 4 points between the 2^nd place team and themselves it is all to play for to ensure they gain a play-off berth and finish higher up the table. David Champion tops the divisional rankings.

Division 6

The old rivalry of the two division 6 teams continues as predicted at the start of the season. Club captain Julian Tanner’s 6B team are in third with a game in hand on arch rivals the HKFC 6A team led by Jason Lam sat in second place and 3 points ahead. The last few games of the season will be massive to see who can gain bragging rights of being the top HKFC div 6 team and then who can get furthest in the play offs.

Division 7A

The division 7 team who were league and play off champions last year have not disappointed this season. Convener Dave Chan has led the team well to be leading the table with a clear gap between them and 2^nd place. Hopefully they can continue the form into the play-offs and secure a second double in a row. Charles Ko the team number one remains unbeaten so far this season and tops the divisional rankings with Gary Lam the number 3 also unbeaten.

Division 8A

HKFC 8A led by Alex Berriman lie in 4^th place in the league but will be looking over their shoulder in  a very tight division with only 5 points between them and 6^th place.

Division 8B

Phil Ting’s 8B strong team have continued their solid start to the season. With a couple of results to be updated they are sitting pretty in 2^nd place and will be looking to get closer to the top spot and put additional pressure on the league leaders Friend Club 5. Wilson Li and Dinesh Hathiramani both have helped the cause by being unbeaten so far this season.

Division 9

Mark Squire’s division 9 team have battled well all year and lie just outside the 4^th place play-off position. They have a few remaining games this season to notch up some wins and get into that 4th place spot.

Division 10

Vinod Harjani’s 10A team are joint top on points with KCC after 15 games played. In another very tight division they are ahead of Arthur Malloy’s 10B team who are only 4 points behind but have played one game extra and lie in 4^th. The two teams look to have secured their play-off positions and it will be very interesting to see who comes through that as both will fancy their chances of gaining silverware. Div 10A’s Max Kerr has won all his matches so far this season as has 10B’s James Osumund the team’s number 3.

Division 11

HKFC 11 are one point behind league leaders Tuen Mun Squash 1 on 74 points. Rajesh Mulchand’s team will be playing hard in the last few games to try and secure the league title and go for the double with play-off victory. Jeff Leung the team’s number 1 has won all 13 games he has played so far this season and he also tops the division’s player rankings.

Division 13

Damien Laracy’s team have played well throughout in a very competitive division. They currently lie just outside the play-off places but still have a chance of nicking the 4^th spot away from the competition.

Division 14

The HKFC 14 team led by Thomas Cheung look to be out of contention for the play-offs but will finish mid-table in this competitive division.

Masters Division 1

The Julian Ragless led M1A team lie in 4^th position and look well set for a play-off place in the very high quality league. Roger Liden’s M1B have fought well all season but lie in 7^th place and appear to be out of contention this season for a play-off position.

Master Division 2

M2A led by Kien Ng have won 12 of their 16 matches this season and lie in 2^nd place. Arch rivals M2B led by Stephane Vartanian have a lot of work to do if they want to get into the play-offs and secure 4^th place as they currently lie in 5^th.

Master Division 3

HKFC M3A led by convenor Jurg Niederberger are in second place and will hope they can catch the Jockey Club in their remaining matches. M3B under Nick Organ are in 6^th place in this very strong division. Convenor Jurg has led by example and won all his games to far this season.

Master Division 4

Rachel Sutcliffe’s team lie in 8^th after a tough season in this division which is getting ever stronger each year.

Ladies Division 1

The HKFC L1 team have performed well all season, they currently lie in 5^th place but look like they will not be in contention this year for a play-off place.

Ladies Division 2

In the ladies Division 2, three teams from HKFC are battling out for glory. The L2C team led by Violeta Thomas are 3 points outside a play-off position with L2A led by Cherly Vong looking to have already secured their place by being in third place. The L2B under the stewardship of Rachel Sutcliffe are in 6^th but probably do not have enough matches left to gain on the pack ahead of them in the league.

Ladies Division 3

 

L3A convened by Chin Mcnamara have secured 2^nd place. Javy Wong the convenor of L3B finished in 4^th and made the play offs.
