Hong Kong's boccia squad is determined to qualify for the 2012 London Paralympics after an encouraging performance at the third Asia and South Pacific Boccia Championships last week.
The competition was held at the Kowloon Park Sports Centre from August 14 to 22. It received a HK$2.14 million grant from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.
Hong Kong came second behind South Korea, claiming six medals - two gold, one silver and three bronze medals.
The squad is now eyeing the Boccia World Championships, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, next year, which is also a qualifier for the London Paralympics.
Kwok Chun-hoi made a memorable debut at Kowloon Park. He won the Jockey Club Outstanding Novice Award after taking second place in the BC2 event.
Leung Yuk-wing, 24, who won two golds in singles and doubles events, said: 'It was a heated contest and China fielded some very strong players but we were able to persevere and do well. Now we're preparing for the Boccia World Championships next year.'
