2023 Hong Kong Classic - Day Six Round Up
Scotland produced another successful day at the Hong Kong Classic, with our Men’s and Women’s pairs securing four wins and a draw from today’s six fixtures.
Dee Hoggan and Rachel Sinclair recorded two victories and a defeat in their three matches on Friday which has guaranteed their qualification for the knockout stages with one game to spare. The Scots currently sit in first place in Section B which would see them automatically advance through to the semi-finals. If they were to slip down to second position, Dee and Rachel would then compete in a play-off match to get through to the semi-finals. To remain in first place the Scottish duo will be looking to defeat ZGMBC 6-0 in their final group contest tomorrow.
In the Men’s Pairs, Paul Kane Jnr and Gary Prunty had an undefeated day as they picked up two wins and a draw against GLBC, HKFC and KCC respectively. The pairing from Airdrie Central Bowling Club require a win over KBGC in their final match tomorrow to qualify for the knockout stages as they are currently sat in third place in Section B.
The final group games, play-off and semi-final rounds will be contested tomorrow in both the Men’s and Women’s Pairs. Best of luck to all four players and we will provide a further update tomorrow (Saturday 18th November).
