“Since winning the National Knock-out Singles back in January, I have never lost my touch. I am able to concentrate more in my games, which also resulted in an improved stability in my delivery.”
However he is also concerned that the touch will suddenly desert him.
“On the day before the Sunday Final, I suddenly had this feeling to play the game as soon as possible–in case I lose touch.
“I am a bit nervous at the beginning of the Final as I want it so badly. This affected my performance a bit. But, when I controlled my sentiment the touch came back and I manage it well to win,” said Wong.
Li also believes that the better player won on the day.
“Wong is not just a good drawer, his attacking shots are good as well,” said Li.
“There are a number of ends when he performed really well even in a difficult situation. I think that made the difference, but I am satisfied with my performance throughout.”
Participation to the CoC is restricted to the current holders of the singles champions of the Hong Kong Lawn Bowls Association (National Singles, Knockout Singles, Under 25 Singles, Champion of Champions singles) as well as the singles champions of all member clubs under the Hong Kong Lawn Bowls Association. Wong qualified as the champion of the National Knock-out Singles as well as the Singles champion with the Kowloon Bowling Green Club.
The format of the competition is a double round-robin, followed by the knock-out stage from Semi-finals onward.
