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 />
