The Borelli Walsh USRC Tigers ladies caused an upset, as they did in the semi-finals by beating Gai Wu, to claim their first Premiership Grand Final in 18 years. In a full match report on the HKRU website, Lindsay Vartey said “It’s been 18 years to get back here. I should have retired years ago, but I am still here and I am just so proud of my team and so happy that I could share this moment with them. This team is a family and everyone worked so hard for this result and for each other. It is a very intense feeling, we love each other so much and I’m so happy.”

Herbert Smith Freehills HKU Sandy Bay turned around a remarkable season and claimed a seventh straight win to secure the Saxo Capitals Markets Men’s Premiership for the 1st time.
