Hong Kong star cue master Ng On-yee showed humility to match her calmness on the snooker table after she picked up the night’s biggest award at a glittering Hong Kong Sports Star Awards on Monday night.
At the Hong Kong sports “Oscars” at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, the 25-year-old women’s world champion was named “Best of the Best”, beating out last year’s winner, cyclist Sarah Lee Wai-sze.

This could not have happened without the hard work and contributions of many former snooker players in Hong Kong. I owe them a lot
“I am very happy to have had a lot people supporting me so that I can overcome hurdle after hurdle to achieve the many good results on the international stage,” said Ng.
“As a player, I enjoy a lot of benefits in training and competitions but this could not have happened without the hard work and contributions of many former snooker players in Hong Kong. I owe them a lot.
“I will be spending a lot more time in England this year and the road ahead will be much more difficult against many top professionals, but I will keep learning to become a better player.”
