Hong Kong won the Schools Interport Handball Championship for the sixth successive time at the Shek Kip Mei Park Sports Centre recently.

Since the first biennial tournament was held in 1999, Hong Kong has beaten Macau each time to win the title, making it six in a row.

This year, the Hong Kong team was mainly made up of students from Ying Wa College and Shek Lei Catholic Secondary School - the finalists of the Inter-school Jing Ying Handball Tournament.

The interport clash, held on March 28, highlighted the gap between Hong Kong and Macau.

Hong Kong - led by attacker Leung Chi-sai and goalkeeper Yik Shing-cheung, both Hong Kong junior national squad members - took a 15-8 lead at half-time.

In the second half, Hong Kong coach Pong Yiu-wing gave up-and-coming players a chance to gain on-court experience.

Hong Kong still won the match easily, 27-21.
