Billiards & Snooker 34

The Padang Shield match was a closely fought event. The format was three singles and two doubles. SRC started well and won the first singles 2-0 against Peter Gilchrist. Glenn bounced back with a draw 1-1 in the second singles. Then we took the next two doubles 2-0 with Gerard Ee / Clive Cheong and Matthew Lim / Tom Bilyard. The score stood a 5-3 in favour of SCC in the 10-frame event. We needed one more frame to win the match and Jason Tan secured it with a 2-0 win in his singles match. The final score was 7-3 for SCC. Well played guys! Thanks to all the Section Members behind the scenes who helped make the event a success.

That same evening, we had a surprise visit from Joseph Schooling who tried his hand at Snooker.

We had a group of nine players and supporters from SCC that made our way to Bangkok. It was good to see so many familiar faces after a two-year break due to the pandemic; RBSC and RBSC Polo last visited SCC in 2019. We played a series of singles and doubles matches on Saturday and were treated to a wonderful dinner.

RBSC and RBSC Polo will be visiting us in 2023. Our next upcoming event include the 6 Red Tournament in Lake Club, Kuala Lumpur, on 16 September.
