Inter-Residential Colleges Basketball Competition cum Council Chairman Bowl Prize Presentation

13 April 2019

The Inter-Residential Colleges (RC) Basketball Competition, the last game in the Council Chairman Bowl, was held on 13 Apr 2019 at the Lee Shau Kee Complex of HSUHK. Each of the four RCs formed teams to fight for the best results. The rounds of play lasted for a day, attracting residents and affiliated members of RCs to join. Alumni also came to cheer for their RCs, demonstrating the growing RC spirit and sense of belonging. Dr Moses Cheng, the Council Chairman, and President Simon S M Ho, also came to watch the final game and witness the birth of the Champion of the Bowl.

After rounds of battles, Evergreen College won the Basketball Championship. The first runner-up went to Mosaic College while Amity College was the second runner-up. In addition, Choi Ming Hin, affiliated member and former resident of Mosaic College, was awarded The Top Shooter the third consecutive year scoring 55 points after three matches.

The prize presentation of the Champion of the Council Chairman Bowl was followed by rounds of competitions. It was most honoured to have had invited Dr Moses Cheng, the Council Chairman, to present the award this year. Evergreen College won the Bowl for the second year with a total of 420 points with two championships achieved out of five inter-RC competitions of the Bowl.

With the generous support from Dr Cheng, the Council Chairman Bowl was established in the academic year 2017/18 to foster inter-RC interactions and sportsmanship. In 2018/19, the five inter-RC competitions of the Bowl included: Tug of War, Badminton, Basketball, as well as Dodgeball and Kin-ball which require relatively less professional and physical skills and have been added to the Bowl this year to attract more students to join. The overall champion of all inter-RC competitions would be awarded the final Champion of the Bowl.

Before announcing the result, Dr Cheng was invited to share words of encouragement to all participants. He appreciated the efforts paid by all players and encouraged students to take an active part in RC life. Student representatives from each RC presented a souvenir to Dr Cheng, expressing their gratitude to his donation and support to the Bowl.
