Table Tennis<br />

The Sub-Committee established the Table Tennis section to cater<br />

to the broader sporting needs of <strong>NUSS</strong> members. Aside from<br />

participating in recreational sessions, section members also<br />

competed in the <strong>NUSS</strong>-PAUM Games.<br />

Tennis<br />

The Tennis section kept a full calendar in 2006 by participating<br />

in external tournaments such as the Interclub Singles League,<br />

Interclub Doubles Knockout and Interclub Doubles League. The<br />

section also played at the Singapore Swimming Club’s 7 th<br />

Invitational Tennis Tournament in February, hosted a friendly<br />

match with Swiss Club in March, played in a friendly match<br />

hosted by Tanglin Club in September and another friendly<br />

at the clay courts of Batu Pahat on the way back from the<br />

<strong>NUSS</strong>-PAUM Games.<br />

In June, to mark the demolition of the tennis courts at Kent Ridge<br />

Guild House, a farewell bash was held (with a tie-break shoot out)<br />

that lasted till midnight.<br />

In addition to participating in external competitions, the<br />

first internal doubles league was held in June for section<br />

members. Notwithstanding the lack of home courts and the<br />

participants having to make their own court arrangements, the<br />

section was able to attract 25 pairs for this inaugural event. All<br />

teams, both men and ladies, were graded into five groups of five<br />

teams each, and competed on a round robin format within their<br />

respective groups over three months.<br />

The winning teams of each group were:<br />

Group 1 Adriano Ortega / Paul Wong<br />

Group 2 Ronny Chew / James Seah<br />

Group 3 William Lai / Winston Ng<br />

Group 4 Chua Li Suan / Iris Chan<br />

Group 5 Margaret Lee / Chi Ching<br />

The <strong>NUSS</strong> Team Tennis 2006 was notably the biggest inhouse<br />

tennis event. Attracting some 56 section members, the<br />

tournament was held at Singapore Polytechnic on 19 November.<br />

Competing on a round robin format, the four teams – Spalding,<br />

Bancroft, Rossignol and Donnay – were closely contested<br />

throughout the tournament and in the final tally, only half a<br />

point separated the winner Team Spalding from first runner-up,<br />

Team Rossignol.<br />

Weiqi<br />

The Weiqi section remained active in 2006, meeting regularly for<br />

section games at KRGH. Efforts to attract more members to the<br />

game of Weiqi are ongoing.<br />
