Fellow Members,
With the Chinese New Year holiday long gone, our attention turns to the Easter
and Ching Ming Holidays. The Club has organised numerous activities for families
over the long weekend and I would encourage Members’ support for these. Whilst
on social activities, you will find details of the KCC Centenary Cup Race Day at
Sha Tin on 12 April. Again, your support for this long-standing Club event would
be much appreciated.
Turning to the Club Annual General Meeting held in December 2014, a number of
issues were raised by Members and I would like to take this opportunity to respond
to those which do not require further consideration.
Accounts – Staff Leave Balance
The question concerned the circumstances in which staff were being paid for
unused annual leave. This is a requirement under the Employment Ordinance in
that when staff leave the Club, they are entitled to salary payment in lieu of annual
leave not yet taken. In addition, Management are working to ensure that this is kept
to an absolute minimum and that staff take the holidays to which they are entitled.
Playroom – Food Orders
The Management team have advised that food orders (to be consumed in the seating area outside the
Playroom) can be taken and signed for at the Pavilion. This arrangement will be subject to regular review
taking account of the demand for F&B service around the Playroom area.
Energy Saving Measures
All new installations/equipment, including The Boundary Café, meet the latest energy saving standards.
And, electricity consumption in the Café is much lower than before and the control programs have been
revised so that staff can adjust the lighting environment.
Security
Members expressed differing views on this subject at the AGM. The Security Working Group have undertaken
a detailed review of our current arrangements and made a number of practical recommendations which
have been accepted by Management and the General Committee. Indeed, these have proven valuable in
handling recent incidents in the Club. In this regard, Members’ cooperation is sought for the new past 11pm
entry arrangement, effective 1 May 2015. Details are in WOK and elsewhere in the Magazine.
Use of Existing Floodlights on the Ground
These may be used upon request at the weekend. And the ever popular Sun Lawn is once again available
for a kick-about, etc.
I trust Members find this information useful and if they wish to follow up any specific issue, please contact
either myself or the General Manager.
Enjoy your Club!

Dear Members,
My…how time flies when you are having fun! I celebrated the
completion of my third year working here at KCC on 1 March! I
can honestly say that during the past three years the time has really flown by as we have been very busy with various activities in
and around KCC! I have appreciated all the Members who have
taken the time to give me feedback on the issues that concern
you, the Member and your family. It is this communication and
feedback that I truly need to make sure we are paying attention
to the issues that concern you. I am looking forward to completing the current staff-related renovation projects in mid-April and
then we can concentrate on other exciting renovations in future
years here at KCC.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome to my team
Roger T Jones, our new Grounds Manager. Roger comes to
KCC with a solid background from the turf industry and has
seen stints in China, Vietnam and Thailand, and for four years,
was at the Hong Kong Golf Club in the New Territories. You
may have noticed the beautiful flower beds along the pathway
to the pool as this is only one of many areas you will see more
colours as you walk around the various areas of KCC property.
So please welcome Roger to the team.
One of the enjoyable activities during the Chinese New Year time
is the annual Staff Party which was held on Monday, 2 March
2015. It is during this celebration that the long-serving staff are
presented with their commemorative gifts.
I would like to thank them for their dedicated service to the Club
over the past years. I would also like to congratulate those staff
who have reached their 5-year milestones. Those staff are:

Please congratulate these

working around the Club.
It’s that time of year again
when the KCC Centenary
Cup horse race is held! The
race will be held at the Shatin
race course on Sunday, 12
April 2015 and we will be
located at suite #F630. This is always a fun day. Seating is limited so get your group together and book a table and enjoy a day
at the races in a private suite. Guests are welcome.
We have recently upgraded our Bowling Alley management
system and scoring system to improve the users’ experience in our bowling alley. We have two new, modern consoles
and two new monitors. This is now a state-of-the-art system so
please come down to the bowling alley to see for yourself.
Do we have your email address? The Club regularly sends out
a number of emails about events and any information that is of
concern to you, the Member. This is usually in the form of WOK
(What’s On at KCC) but it can be a stand-alone news item. We
do want to communicate with as many Members as possible
so please make sure we have your up to date contact details,
either for home or for your office. Please contact Wendy in the
Administration office and give her your email address. Wendy
can be reached at wendy@kcc.org.hk

Parents are reminded that dependents and subscribers under
the age of 18 are not permitted to bring guests to the Club and
anyone found breaching the rules will be asked to leave the Club

Parents are also reminded that when signing in children under
your auspices that if there is any misbehaviour or problem, it is
the Member who signed the child in who will be responsible.

risk. KCC is not responsible for any damage done to your electronic equipment.
As always, see you around the Club!

MATCH REPORT – KCC CRUSADERS
Sujanani and Garnett help
Crusaders skirt past CCC
CRICKET
KCC Crusaders batsman Ravi Sujanani
scored 82 and pace bowler Bill Garnett took
three wickets to help their side skirt past the
Craigengower Cricket Club by 13 runs at the
Kowloon Cricket Club.
H o w e v e r, C r a i g e n g o w e r
Cricket Club batsman Matt

Brunello both deserve a lot of
credit as they made 67 and 50
respectively.

Leigh Stewart was caught by
Sam O’Malley off the bowling of Jacques Marshall
for 23. Sujanani and Mike
England made up for the
early loss of Stewart with
a 56-run partnership before England was caught
by George Lamplough off
the bowling of Gianluca
Lamplough for 35.

up his half-century, before Lamsam was clean
bowled by Brunello for 41. Sujanani ended up
making a magnificent 83 before he was given
out lbw off the bowling of Elliot Andrews.
Thanks to a quickfire 25 from Sussex import Chris Liddle, the Crusaders finished on
221/4 off their 35 overs. Marshall, Andrews,
Lamplough and Brunello picked up one wicket apiece.
Chasing 222 to win, Craigengower Cricket
Club got off to a disappointing start as they
were reduced to 75/5 thanks to some superb
bowling from the Crusaders.
However, just when it seemed the Crusaders
were on the verge of delivering the knockout
blow, Rafter and Brunello fought back with a
103-run partnership, during which both batsmen registered their half-centuries. Garnett
managed to break the partnership before
it spiralled out of control as he dismissed
Brunello for a well-made 50.
Garnett struck again just a few moments later
as wicketkeeper Deepinder Singh took a brilliant catch to dismiss Rafter for a spectacular
67. Despite Marshall and George Lamplough
amassing an unbeaten 30-run partnership,
Craigengower Cricket Club still fell 13 runs
short of their target.
Garnett was the most successful bowler with
three wickets, while Steve Pratt and Nishil
Savalani claimed one wicket each.
KCC’s newest import delivers
big win over USRC
KCC Crusaders’ Sussex import Chris
Liddle is known more for his bowling than batting. However, during
the highly-anticipated clash against
USRC Millennium, Liddle stunned the
vast amount of people in attendance
shot. But, instead of connecting this
time, Ahmad missed and wicketkeeper
James Millington had no problems in
completing the stumping and sending
him back to the pavilion for 28. Iqbal
ended up making a brilliant 65 before
Chasing 167 to win, the Crusaders got
off to a brisk start before captain Leigh
Stewart was clean bowled for 14 by
an absolute beauty of a delivery from
Tanveer Ahmad. Mike England only
made five runs before he was caught
by Tanveer Ahmad off the bowling of
Anas Khan. Ravi Sujanani managed
to make 30 runs before he was caught
behind off the bowling of Khan.
Damien Kelleher mustered 11 runs before he was run out by Usman Khan.
Caddy followed soon after as he was
cleaned up by Tanveer Ahmad for a
duck.
Liddle and David Millington somewhat
stemmed the bleeding with a 35-run
partnership before both players miscommunicated during a run, which led
to Millington being run out by Usman
Khan and having to trudge back to the
pavilion for four runs.
by blitzing his way to an unbeaten 80
to hand the Crusaders a comfortable
four-wicket win.
While Liddle stole the spotlight for his
match-winning knock of 80, USRC
batsman Jawaid Iqbal deserves some
credit for his valiant innings of 65.
USRC captain Aftab Ahmad would
have been mulling over his decision to
bat first after he lost four batsmen with
only 58 runs on the board. However, just
like the match against Craigengower
Cricket Club, the Crusaders allowed
USRC to get back in the game as
Ahmad and Iqbal amassed an 86run partnership, during which Iqbal
brought up his half-century.
It was Nishil Savalani who answered his
captain’s call for a wicket as he tempted Ahmad into playing yet another big
he was caught behind off the bowling
of Ashley Caddy.
Thanks to Iqbal, USRC finished on
166/6 off their 35 overs. Savalani was
the pick of the bowlers with three
wickets, while Caddy, Bill Garnett and
Steve Pratt chipped in with one wicket apiece.
With the Crusaders teetering at 139/6,
Liddle walloped numerous sixes to
carry his side to a four-wicket win
and remain unbeaten on 80. Tanveer
Ahmad and Anas Khan claimed two
wickets each.

Bowling Night held on 11 February
By Matt Barnett
HOCKEY
It was a chilly old Wednesday night, when 60
odd members of the Hockey Section, rather
than tucking themselves into a nice warm bed
(sensible option), decided to brave the elements and head down to the Club for a social
game of Ten-pin bowling instead (opposite of
sensible option).
The stakes were very high from the outset.
As the old saying goes it wasn’t about life
or death, it was far more important
than that. Pride was at stake. The ladies’ section up against the men’s,
and on top of that the burning question as to whether the As, Bs, Cs
or Ds would prevail and emerge
victorious from this most grudgy
of grudge matches. The pressure
was intense. So refreshments
were taken.
like manna from heaven and refreshments
were taken.
All sorts of other awards, lucky door prizes
and pomp and ceremony were planned for the
night. But in the heat of the moment we forgot
about doing all of them. Or did we strategically
save them up for our next social?
In scenes straight out of ‘Happy Days’, a
leather-clad dude vaguely resembling Fonzi
banged on the jukebox. The music started
blaring, and we were away. Bowling without a
care in the world. Refreshments were taken.
Ladies’ coach Ahmed came down to show us
how it was done, and promptly sent his first
bowl into the gutter. The crowds cheered,
and more than one person asked our resident Super Coach if “he needed the bumpers
put up for his next bowl?”. Out of nowhere,
enough food to feed the Chinese army arrived
Who was the victor of the night? It may have
been Asif bowling 166 or Declan somewhere
near that. It may have been Canadian Don or
men’s coach Jackie or C Team captain Hau, who brought his own ball
with “Raging Inferno” inscripted onto
it. Or was it Sam who with her 30 points
handicap bringing home the spoils?
Unfortunately someone wrote graffiti all over our amazingly professional
score sheet, so the bottom line is we
don’t have a clue who actually won on
the night.
departed was “when can we do this
again?”.
But suffice to say a thoroughly enjoyable time was had by youngsters
and seasoned veterans alike, with the
question on everyone lips as we all
A big thanks to Wendy, Popeye, Eva,
Bilal, Declan, Sam and plenty of others
for helping organise the evening and
helping out on the night.

13th KCC Mini Hockey
Tournament held on 8 March
By Lisa Milliner

The KCC Mini Hockey Tournament is
the highlight of the season for all our
young and upcoming players. Always a
fun and successful day, the 2015 tournament was no different.
schools came to compete in the 13th
annual tournament for our U8s, U10s
and U12s. The KCC ground staff had
the pitches looking superb and the surface was a dream to play on.
Sunday, 8 March had been much anticipated by over 70 teams and it didn’t disappoint. With the sun breaking through
the cloud, a record number of competitors and supporters from 20 clubs and
KCC had 8 teams competing in this
tournament, including four U8 teams!
Our young players were all bright and
early and eager to play. After a warmup on the sun lawn, all the teams met
on the pitch to make a minute of noise
for our friend who couldn’t be part of the
celebrations.
The tournament was hotly contested and
KCC mini hockey is certainly producing
some future stars under the guidance of
Coach Ahmed. Our U8 teams consolidated their basic skills and had a fantastic
time. They displayed great sportsmanship whether they had a win or a loss.
Bob Barnett (U8 – div. 3) and Kyara
Surtani (U8 – div. 1) were both awarded the ‘Best Sportmanship Awards’ in
their divisions. Our U10A team was first in
their division after three wins and a draw,
and they went through to the final against
Valley. They displayed outstanding
hockey skills in their final to bring home
an easy win. Raul Surtani was once again
awarded ‘Best Player of the Tournament
(U10)’. He has been awarded best U10
player for three mini hockey tournaments
in a row! Our U12 teams were fearless in
attack and strong in defense. Their talent
was certainly obvious to all.

HOCKEY
13th KCC Mini Hockey
Tournament
Not only was great hockey on display
but also our Women’s hockey section
were painting faces and applying tattoos for our competitors. There were
happy, painted faces in every direction,
enjoying a magnificent day. There were
also lots of prizes won in the lucky draws
and, as usual, the KCC F&B staff had
made some great food for our hungry
participants.
Many hours of organisation go into such
a large event and our thanks and appreciation is extended to the organisers, coaches, umpires, parent helpers,
sponsors and KCC staff. The tournament would not be such a success
without this motivated army of helpers.
Everyone had an exciting day and the
feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
Appreciation
Another amazing hockey day was enjoyed
by approximately 1000 people on our beautiful grass pitch, which was made possible by
all the hard work and precious time invested
by our experienced working team and efficient KCC staff behind the scenes as well
as on the day, topped up by the enthusiasm
and energy of our young players, their families, coaches, supporters, umpires, runners,
scorers, face painters, MCs…this list goes
on and on….
It is wonderful to be a part of such a
vibrant sporting community in the heart
of Hong Kong. A proud day for the KCC!
Appreciation and thanks to all our Special
Guests and Helpers as listed below (in alphabetical order). Until next year!

Our dear friend Konnie passed away on 3 March 2015. She will be deeply missed
by all her friends in the Hockey Section.
As Mini Hockey Convenor, Konnie was the chief organiser and driving force behind
this year’s KCC Mini Hockey Tournament. Thanks to Konnie’s hard work and
precious time invested behind the scenes, we managed to accomplish a smoothly
run event, with high attendance, which was enjoyed by everyone who participated.
With the strong encouragement from Deepak, Konnie’s devoted husband and
adoring father to their two beautiful children, Raul and Kyara chose to play on in
the tournament, both attaining awards for their outstanding performances.
Konnie
Surtani
My Dear Konnie, you will be remembered for your warmth, generosity and tenacious
personality…and also for those delicious cup cakes you baked for the kids at the
mini tournaments! There will always be a special place for you in our hearts. May
you rest in peace.

KCC U13
FOOTBALL
“Henderson”
Team vs.
South China
KCC U13 vs. South China was a highly anticipated game. The boys all knew the importance of this game and were up for it from the
off as it was against a top U13 club side in
HK boasting numerous national team players.
The game started at a furious pace with SC
looking to get an early goal, but KCC were defending and breaking well and not allowing SC
any time in possession, James Chalk showing
great leadership and organisation. SC broke the deadlock with a quick move
down the left flank and squaring the ball for
the onrushing player to tap in for a simple
finish. A deflected shot led to a corner after
some good setup play. Toby Loader floated
in a good ball for William Smith to rise highest
and header KCC back into the game. Halftime, the score was 1-1 with SC looking a
little shell-shocked at the tempo and commitment shown by the KCC boys. The second
half started in much the same fashion with SC
having more of the ball but with KCC looking
sharp on the counter and in possession. KCC then snatched a goal to put themselves
ahead, after a strong tackle in midfield forced
a drop ball which fell at the feet of Jordan, who
hit a first time shot from outside the box, the
ball looping over the keeper to send the KCC
faithful into raptures. KCC then pushed for a
3rd to kill off the game, but this left them a little exposed at the back and on the break; SC
punted the ball up field. The KCC keeper coming out to claim the ball, made a good save but
inadvertently knocking the ball into the oncoming attacker and the ball deflected off him
and dropped into the goal. KCC now looked
panicked in everything they were doing, with
a few nerves starting to show. Another sloppy
clearance led to SC having a 1 v 1 and they
took their chance and took a 3:2 lead leaving
the KCC players stunned.
Overall the boys played excellently giving the
top side in HK their first real test at this level. Prior to this, they hadn’t been behind in a
game and had high scoring results against
all other opposition – a tough lesson to learn
for the boys after putting everything into the
game and coming away with nothing to show.
Disappointing, to say the least, but a performance to be proud of. “Henderson” Team vs. HKFC
KCC U13 vs. a HKFC team consisting of a
combination of Tai Tam, HKFA and HKFC
team took to the pitch for a late Saturday kickoff. After the disappointment of the South
China game fresh in their heads, the boys
were eager to put things right with a quality
performance against a strong side. Everyone
arrived in good spirits and after a solid warm
up, the game kicked off with the KCC looking
rampant and taking the game to HKFC.
KCC gave the opposition zero time on the ball
and were well organised by James “captain”
16
Chalk. KCC were soon in the lead after a
forward ball into he feet of the HKFC striker, William Smith stepped up well giving the
forward no time making a winning the tackle,
then playing a sharp ball into Jake Ford who
had time to turn and pick out a delightful ball
into the forward right channel for Nicolia to
run onto. Nicolia driving to the byline squaring the ball for Luke Dow to tap in. Half-time:
KCC were 1-0 up. After the last game where
the boys threw away a good lead, there were
a few nerves and the boys looked a little anxious going into the second half.
The second half started with neither
team threatening either goal with any
significant play, the battle for the midfield dominating the game. The KCC
had a glorious chance to kill off the
game, Eddie going through on goal 1v1
with the goalkeeper only to drive the
ball directly at the goalkeeper for the
simplest of saves. HKFC finally drew
level with 6 minutes left on the clock.
HKFC were now the side in ascendancy and with a free kick awarded on the
edge of the box, HKFC drilled home a
fine free kick to take the lead. For the
second game in a row KCC had thrown
away a lead. It was a superb winner
from HKFC but a cruel blow to the KCC
boys who had put in so much graft but
again came away with nothing. A lesson
learnt twice in a row, but one the boys
must take on board and learn from.
The boys will surely be looking for revenge in the upcoming games as we
have to play both again. Edited match report by

The Men’s B Team gained the title of the first
runners-up in Triple League 2014 and the
team will be promoted to Division 2 in next
season. This is a great achievement of the
team members as this is a second promotion following last year’s from Division 4 to
3. The success of the team was due to the
improving performance of individual bowlers and most important of all, a superb level
of team spirit which enabled us to win by 8
nil in 5 matches, even in the difficult matches like against CLP and HKPBC away, and
getting a critical tie playing against HKYDT. So, congratulations
to all B Team members – KK Yeung, Patrick Fong, Kenny Ng,

The Greens Convenor’s Report
In the February/March edition, I introduced you to Roger T

KCC Grounds Manager Roger T
Jones’ February Greens Report
RJ updated the sub-committee with his greens report highlighting the top green shading problems and his intention to introduce/trial a new grass, ‘Diamond Zoysia’ which he will trial
on specified nursery strips.
RJ advised that he is aware of the historical drainage problems
and the Top Green re-construction project (grass or synthetic?) and is assisting the management with their preparation of
a proposal for Members’ consideration.
Peter Hevicon

The grounds management team have advised that it would
be better to review again in September. This will give Roger
Jones and his team time to sustain the greens’ excellent improvements through the difficult spring period, and make
further improvements through the summer period ensuring
the greens can be the best they will be by autumn.
If we can be patient a little longer, I think we will reap the rewards by not only playing in the preferred direction, but also
on a surface that is in good condition on an ongoing basis.
2. New Bye-law 14.6 (greens lighting)
The sub-committee agreed a review of bye-law 14.6 (greens
lighting) was justified and will be followed up.
3. The score stands have been renovated with new chalk
boards and new number plate rings will be fitted where
needed.
4. New rink-end drinks boxes will replace the current rusting
drinks boxes.
5. The greens ditches will be reconstructed in the summer.

First Division League
for the fifth consecutive year
SQUASH
This season, our ladies’ team was facing
tough challenge from the Young Players’
teams. Starting from the second half of the
season, we were unable to field a full team
when team captain, Eunice Tong, was suffering from a wrist injury and top junior, Janis
Lam, had to stop playing due to university
exam preparation. As a result, we were unable
to keep a clean sheet and had dropped three
matches to Young Players’ teams.
Before playing the last league match against
Young Players 2, we scored the same point
as Young Players 1 who were at the top of
the table but we had one match in hand.
We therefore needed at least 1 point from
Young Players 2 in order to retain the title. The
­pressure was definitely on our side. The first
player on court was Bubble Liu, the top ranking U15 player from Young Players 2 against
Shina Leung, a former Junior Champion and
member of HK Junior Ladies’ Team winning
‘World Junior Team Champion’ in 2005. Shina
ensured the league title by a hard-earned 3-1
(9-11, 13-11, 11-9, 12-10) victory over Bubble.
The on-form Vanessa Chu was the second on
court, ­playing against her fellow full time ­athlete
Karman Siu from HKSI. Vanessa gave a swift
dispatch over Karman in straight games (116, 11-7, 11-8). In the final match, team captain
Eunice Tong, despite her wrist injury, fought
hard and won the match in a nail-biting 5 setters against reigning junior champion Tomato
Ho (4-11, 11-4, 6-11, 11-9, 11-5).
This is the second occasion our Ladies’ team
won the league title for the 5th consecutive
year and 13 league champions in 15 years.
Well done, girls!

Leo Au sets record
for longest ever match
Junior Subscriber Leo Au, the
World No. 33, broke the record for the longest professional squash match ever
recorded en-route to claiming the ninth PSA World
Tour title of his career at the
Holtrand Gas City Pro-Am
2015 in Canada.
Leo lifted the trophy following a tough 85-minute
battle against Malaysian Muhd Asyraf
Azan, coming from 2-1 down to win 3-2, in a
22
dramatic victory that came less than 24 hours
after he won the longest match ever recorded
– a mammoth 170-minute encounter against
Canadian Shawn Delierre, the World No.54, in
the semifinals.
With the fifth game, which went to 16-14, lasting an incredible 78 minutes, saw Leo complete a total of over 300 minutes on court
during the four-day tournament, averaging
75 minutes per day as he stormed to the title and earn his place in the annals of sporting history.

Squash Friendly Match –
KCCM3 with PolyU Staff Club
The PolyU Staff Club squash team
visited our courts on 16 February for
a friendly match with the KCC masters team. The playing standards of
the PolyU team ranges from Division 6
to non-league players. Ours side has
more or less matching a
­ bilities from
Division 5 to 16. The turn-up had been
very ­s atisfactory. The court area was
filled up with people, with 9 from the
PolyU and 10 from KCC. Both Terbin
Wong, the M3 convenor and Peter
Fraser, the Squash Section convenor played in the match. The KCC team
was solidly represented.
The match kicked off with Paul Tsang
for KCC and Wong WS for PolyU. The
match was hard and close, and Paul
came ­s econd after 5 games. David
Brettell, our M3 number 1 e
­ xpressed
his gratitude to Victor Cheng for playing the PolyU number 1 Sammy Leung.
He was right, the Victor and Sammy
game was physically very demanding.
Victor came on top to win 3-0. David
went on another court to play the number 2 of the ­o ther team Albert Choi.
Consistent play paid off for David to
be victorious 3-1. Peter Fraser was
not so lucky. He got a much younger
and energetic opponent. Running
fast on court is definitely an advantage. Despite playing all the trick shots,
Peter could not outwit the runner but
concede that the ­o pponent was better on the day. Anthony Kirk-Duncan,
our M3 regular got the youngest player
from the visiting team. Age difference
is for sure in double digits. The years
of experience was an advantage, that
Anthony sent the youngster thundering around the court and emerged as
the winner. On court 3 Terbin Wong
got Carlos from PolyU playing a similar game. That was a clash of vintage
squash. They relied on silky lob shots
to build up advantage before pulling off
the winning drop shot less than 1 inch
above the tin. Elegant and adorable.
Gentle as their games, they were also
gentle on each other, ­allowing 45 minutes break after the first 3 games. After
the ­extended break, they resumed and
went to the fifth. Terbin went on top.
Mark Chow played on court 2 with
Daniel of the PolyU. Again, I would
classify that as vintage squash too.
They were not all the same. Deception
was called upon to strengthen the drop
shots in Mark’s game. It worked very
well and Mark won. Clement Lo (KCC
M3) and Ah Yan (the man KCC Div5)
jointly defeated Grandy Fu of PolyU.
We did not play doubles. Yan played
the first game, feeding enough lengths
for Grandy to do quite a bit of running around. We Gave Grandy an hour
break before Clement finished him off
3-1. Grandy is a g
­ entleman and a perfect guest. He did not show a sign of
being much disadvantaged.
T he fr ie ndly wa s wound up with
KCCM3 winning 6-2 against PolyU
Staff Squash Team.

Our final match of January 2015 was a home
game against Hong Kong Cricket Club.
Our illustrious captain Audrey was unfortunately not available but there was a welcome
return, after a lengthy absence, for Andrew
and Mike. So our line-up was Winnie and
Mike, Paul and Andrew, and Chris and Vicky.
In a very friendly contest, the HKCC bowled
well and the match was probably a lot closer
than our runaway win suggested.

The ceremony was attended by the chief executive of

Friendly matches against
Chinese Recreation Club
20 & 29 January 2015
SNOOKER
The KCC Snooker Society played a doubles headed friendly match with the Chinese
Recreation Club (CRC), starting at CRC for the
1st leg on 20 January.
The clubs lined up with teams of 7 players
to play a 10 frame schedule with 7 singles
and 3 doubles matches. The players were
drawn randomly against each other by the
Convenor’s, Walter from CRC and Navin of
KCC.
The KCC line-up as follows: Navin (Captain
for the Match), Adrian, Bennie, Ivan, Ping,
Francis and Don P. The CRC has three snooker tables with one set up for ‘professional’
matches and where Hong Kong’s Marco Fu
practices when he is in town. KCC started
strongly with Navin, Bennie and Francis, all
securing wins. 3:0 to KCC and things were
looking good! Ping, Ivan, Adrian and Don
P however had not read the script properly
and all failed to close out their games, two
of which were very close going down to the
last couple of balls, but still KCC went into the
dinner break, down by 4:3 frames.
Navin and Bennie were first up in the doubles,
but despite some good potting the CRC team
closed out the game and took a 5:3 lead. Ping
and Don P however found some missing form
from the singles and pulled KCC back into the
match, leaving Adrian and Ivan still playing.
The game went down to the last 3 colours, but
a fine straight blue, followed by a pink for KCC,
meant the comeback was complete. Honours
were even on the night, with a 5:5 draw secured, leaving everyone eager to resume battle at KCC on 29 January.
Both teams made changes to their teams
ahead of the 2nd leg at KCC. Albert the KCC
Marker, as always, had KCC’s 3 snooker tables brushed, ironed and in tip-top shape as
the players descended onto the green baize
for another night of potting, snookers and one
or two flukes!!!
The KCC line-up as follows: Navin (Captain for
the Match), Adrian, Bennie, Ivan, Patrick, John
and Tommy. With the random draw again made
by the Convenor’s, and the same 10 frame format agreed, the action began. Bennie, Adrian
and John soon had KCC up 3:0 in the singles
(sounds familiar!), same as the 1st leg at CRC.
This time, however, KCC on home turf were
feeling confident and Tommy and Patrick soon
had KCC up 5:0. Navin, however, had to be
the unluckiest person of the night playing the
luckiest! After losing count of the number of
flukes achieved by his opponent (probably a
Guinness World Record in one frame!) KCC lost
their 1st frame of the evening. Ivan was also unlucky in his frame, but KCC were still taking a
commanding 5:2 lead at dinner break.
As always, the KCC F&B team laid on a superb
spread of curries, all topped off with the signature apple crumble, so feeling exceedingly full,

KCC as well as the match, which KCC won 6:4 overall.
for the double matches. CRC lost a player so with a slight change
in the format we played 2 doubles matches and the Convenors
lined up for an additional singles. Navin was again unlucky in this
match, but the lead was now down to 5:3. Patrick and Tommy
were next up and a nail-biting match ensued, which went down to
the last few colours, however CRC held their nerve and the lead
was cut back again to 5:4.
John and Adrian were now under pressure. The CRC players
were methodical and taking no risks, opened up a 20 point plus
lead. A solid 19 break by Adrian dragged this back and John
was now in the zone, sinking some good pots and making a

the Sanctuary, followed by a meal. Many
old and new faces were in attendance.

Tommy once confided to one of his sponsors that the KCC and, in particular, the
Sanctuary gave him something to look
forward to at the end of a long working
shift fighting crime. A welcoming place
to go to – good food and wine, and restaurants. Besides, it is cosmopolitan, and

2015 Hong Kong Inter-Club
Snooker League
The KCC Snooker Society will play a total
of 10 fixtures in the 2015 Hong Kong InterClub Snooker League between March
and December, home and away against
the other five teams; Chinese Recreations
Club, Craigengower Cricket Club, Hong
Kong Club, Hong Kong Country Club and
the Kowloon Tong Club. The match format consists of four singles matches, followed by two doubles matches.
2015 Hong Kong Inter-Club
Snooker League – First Match vs
Kowloon Tong Club (away)
The KCC Snooker Society commenced
the Inter-Club League with an away fixture at the Kowloon Tong Club on 10
March 2015. The KCC Team consisted of Bennie (Captain), Francis, Ping,
Adrian, Ivan and Don P.
After the Captains had completed the
draw for the singles matches, Adrian
opened the scoring for KCC taking a very
tight frame on the black ball with a fine
cut in the top pocket. On the other table, Francis was not so lucky and went
down narrowly to the Kowloon Tong Club
Captain. Ping, surprisingly, then lost another tight but scrappy frame on the black
ball leaving Bennie to claw KCC back level, which he did in style, so with all the
singles complete, it was delicately poised
at 2:2 heading into the interval. The refreshments seemed to spur KCC on and
with Ping and Ivan / Bennie and Don P
pairing up the doubles matches commenced. Ping and Ivan quickly opened
up a lead and despite a fine comeback
by KTC, they held on to take the frame. A
successful conclusion to the match now
rested on Bennie and Don’s shoulders.
They took a solid 20-point lead into the
final colours and eventually ran out comfortable winners.
KCC had won its opening fixture in the
League 4:2 and secured the 3 points
for the win. Next up is another away
fixture at the Hong Kong Country Club
in early April.

Snook-a-thon
Dear Members
I have not forgotten to inform you all of
how your generous donations were used
after the Snook-a-thon. – Don McNeil
Two years ago the Snooker Society held
a 24-hour Snook-a-thon in order to raise
funds for Po Kok Primary School, a local
non-Chinese speaking school in Happy
Valley.
The children who attend the school
come from many different nationalities
and most families are of working class
or very low income group. They do not
have the many privileges/opportunities
that KCC children take for granted at
their schools or homes.
Due to the back-numbing hours the
snooker players put in on the tables and
the kind sponsorship of the Members,
the Snooker Section was able to raise
enough funds to purchase 11 iPads for
the schoolchildren’s use.
The school’s Chinese Curriculum section
with the aid of an app creator, created a
specially designed Chinese learning app
in which the children are able to read and
write Chinese characters. Also the students can learn to listen to and speak
Cantonese using the same app.
This app has been so successful and
effective that our students are winning
awards in the local annual speech festival. Plus, Po Kok Primary School won the
Hong Kong Information Communication
Technology Best Digital Inclusion silver
award.
These are great achievements for our
school in such a short period of time.
From the photos you can see how the
students are learning the correct order
in which to write Chinese characters or
be corrected via the iPad if the student
makes an incorrect stroke.
The iPads are not solely used for the
Chinese lessons but across all studies:
English, Mathematics, General Studies,
Visual Arts etc.
Again, I would like to thank all the kind
members who donated to make a huge
difference in the lives of these underprivileged children.
Also, a big thank you to the snooker
players who gave up their time to ensure
there was always a snooker player on
the table through out the 24-hour period.
The players were: Tommy Tam, Mike
Pomfret, Navin Ahuja (who just flew back
on the Saturday morning), Don Poon,
C.J. Panjabi, Tim Parkinson, Ivan Leung
and Don McNeil.
Thanks again, till the next challenge!!!

By winning ALL the home and away games,
we have already won the First Inter-Clubs
Badminton League even with one remaining
away game yet to complete.
Furthermore, our Team has also secured our
first win in the knockout round of the D Division
Hong Kong Badminton Association League
Game. Although we got knocked out by a
much younger team in the second round, team
KCC has attracted a lot of attention that hasn’t
existed before!
We have also sent out two of our best players, Anoop and Coach Liew, to participate in
the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals “Full Strike”
Charity Badminton Tournament. The objective of the tournament was to raise funds for
TWGHs Support Scheme for the Elite Sport
and Art Students. We have successfully won
the first round on 8 March. There are still a few
more rounds before KCC Team may be seen
on the final day on 15 March.

Table Tennis
31 January 2015
On a Saturday afternoon, on 31 January
2015, KCC hosted a return friendly game
against Craigengower Cricket Club. We
fielded a team of 12 men and women
players ranging in age from 10 to 80+.
new table was put into use, and with
the addition of new dividers and flipover score cards, the layout looked very
professional.
We are having a lot of fun and continue to invite you, the Members, and
offsprings, to join in, particularly the
youngsters who we hope to see more of.
We have secured additional coaching
sessions and updates were sent our to
our Table Tennis Family. We came a decent second, ever yone playing to a good standard with
some close results against a team
who train professionally every week.
We, on the other hand, were shor t
of some of our regular players who
were out of town or not available. Of significance was the inclusion of
10-year old Raul Surtani* into the KCC
team. Raul played a very strong opponent of a similar age who is being actively coached in China. We hope Raul
will continue to develop his obvious talent further and participate in upcoming
matches. He is exactly the type of player
we hope to see more of as he represents
the future for KCC. Well done, Raul.
The only clear winner was our veteran,
Uncle Man, who is an inspiration to us
all. Congratulations!
The event was very well organised and
thoroughly enjoyed by the participants
and quite a few spectators alike. The

* Unfortunately on 3 March, Konnie, mum of
Raul, passed away. This lovely and pleasant
lady will be sadly missed. God bless her soul
and our heartiest condolences to her family. As always, my thanks first and foremost to a wonderful, enthusiastic and
able-bodied team for three hours of
entertainment, to Kishu for his organisational skills and to the KCC staff
for bringing the event together under
Maverick’s supervision. A big thank you
also to Varuna for helping out with the
scoring.
I am pleased to say the Table Tennis
Group is upholding the finer KCC traditions of fair play and warm hospitality.

Vegetarian Set Lunch
12:00pm – 2:30pm
Wine of the Month
Château La Rose Bellevue Rouge
AOC 2012
The nose shows a bouquet of ripened
fruits combined with soft toasted tannins
and lashings of vanilla. The palate offers
a rich structure, soft and rounded tannins
and subtle oak presence which doesn’t
overwhelm the fruit. A really charming wine
with cellaring potential. It marries well with
red meat, game, duck in rich sauces and
cheeses.
HK$35 per glass • HK$155 per bottle
Château La Rose Bellevue Blanc
AOC 2013
Initially the nose develops delightful fresh fruits
notes (such as citrus, orange and pineapple). In the glass, the
nose is more complex and the woody, roasted coffee and
vanilla aromas emerge. In the mouth, it’s fleshy, gorgeous,
fruity, spicy and generous. Nice complexity. Olfactory return
on fruits aromas. Long on the palate. An elegant and wellbalanced oaky white wine. It can be taken as an aperitif or it
marries well with fish and spicy sauce such as Thai Curry or
with white meat and poultry with creamy sauce.
HK$35 per glass • HK$155 per bottle

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.
Beer of the Month
Leffe Brune Draught
Leffe® Brown is a clear to strong fruity
top fermented beer
with a distinctive spicy
flavour in which clove,
vanilla and phenolic,
smokey aromas can be
recognised. A sulphury
note can be perceived in
the background. Caramel,
toffee and roasted coffee
flavours are always part of
the flavour bouquet.

Rock out with the band
Do you realise that a few ‘new items’ are already added to our KCC fitness centre? Yes, these
are Thera-Band Resistance Bands. These bands will help strengthen and elongate the muscle
fibres. These also increase your flexibility tremendously. Below are two critical benefits of
Resistance Band.
FITNESS
Benefit
Elastic Resistance
Provides resistance in multiple
directions
*
Provides constant tension
*
Free-weight Resistance
1. Provides resistance in multiple directions
Minimises risk of injury because resistance band provides resistance in multiple directions,
which helps build balanced muscle strength.
2. Provides constant tension
There is constant tension on resistance bands, allowing the muscles to work through a
greater range of motion.
Examples of resistance exercises using
Thera-Band®
Neck – Isometric cervical extension
• Place middle of band around back of your head.
• Grasp ends of band, and hold in front of head as shown.
• Keep neck in a neutral position with chin slightly tucked inward.
• Hold head and neck steady and do not allow neck to bend.
• Extend elbows, stretching the band in front.
• Slowly return and repeat.

Imbalances, and the Triggers to your
disease and whether its going to return
after Remission
by Miles Price,
Clinical Nutritionist & Functional Medicine Practitioner
Functional Medicine aims to identify the root cause or trigger, to disease and dysfunction within the body, and then
apply naturopathic methods of healing and support. Using
‘Metabolic Typing’ and ‘Biosignature Modulation’ modalities, Miles is able to customising nutrition, according to our
metabolism.
By Marilyn Cheung
Our bodies are very sensitive instruments, which can perceive subtle energy that cannot be sensed through our other five senses. Energy healing works with this subtle energy
field, to carry out clearing, balancing and repairing of our
energy system, so we can achieve wellness. Concepts of
energy flow can be found in many ancient traditions, and
there has been renewed interest in energy healing recently.
During his talk Miles will discuss functional medicine and the
testing used to help patients determine their triggers or imbalances, which contributed to their disease.
Information will be posted on the KCC notice Board and also in the Club Magazine
