A brief Report from your
Fellowship Cairman :
It
was a beautiful Sunday morning on Sunday 7 March 2004 with a
perfect 18ºC at Shek Kip Mei Park where Rotary District
Tennis Tournament was organised by the host club: Rotary
Club of Kowloon North East.
16 teams
( men's doubles ), registered from 12 different Rotary
Clubs in Hong Kong , were competing for the District Tennis
Tournament Cup . Our club, Rotary Club of HK South ,
registered for the men's double Tournament and it was
represented by Rtn Ernie and Rtn Francesco.
The tournament
started at 9:30 in the morning at the presence
of the Ch.District Sport & Recreation, Ada Cheng.
After a few matches of pre-qualification, our team was
selected for the Silver Cup. A few more matches were
fiercly played and RCHKS was qualified for the Quarter
Final Match . Unfortunately the opposing team in this
match was the strongest team in the tournament and RCHKS was
defeated. Nevertheless, we were qualified for the
match for the 2nd Runner-up and after a fierce battle
with good point shots for both teams , RCHKS was able to
overcome and secure the Trophy 2nd Runner-up.
The Tournament
was concluded at 4:30 pm. and all Rotarians , tired
but satisfied after a whole day on the tennis courts
in the beautiful surrounding of Shek Kip Mei Park and
with the enjoyment of good fellowship.
