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.

Tennis Section AGM

We held our Tennis Section AGM on 26 March 2010. Most of the committee agreed to stand again and were returned to office unopposed. Datin Lau Mei Aei and Ooi Soon Hong retired from the committee after serving very well last year. We wish to thank them for their service. Wong Poh Lam stepped up to the treasurer post vacated by Soon Hong . Arthur Chin and Haris joined the committee as new members unopposed. We look forward to working with them in the coming year. I also wish to thank the section members for their continued support.
