Penang Sports Club captured the Heah Swee Lee Cup 2010 by beating Penang Chinese Recreation Club again today at the PSC Tennis Complex to maintain their unbeaten run against CRC. PSC have never lost to them since 1995. (Editor's Note: CRC won the cup last year, but i'm not sure what the head to head is with PSC vs CRC- TedT.)
The HSL Cup which is the oldest inter club tennis tournament in Malaysia, first played in 1948 was a keenly fought tournament in the yesteryears where up to 15 clubs via for honors.
However over the years the numbers of participating clubs have shrunk. There were 4 clubs this year compare to 7 last year.
Something needs to be done by the state tennis governing body to ensure that the tournament does not die a natural death in years to come.
One way is by opening up the tournament to all tennis clubs within the IMT Growth Triangle states instead of confining it to clubs in Penang only.
