SIP Lau got the team off to a flying start, defeating his opponent by 2-0 (9-3, 9-2). Next on court WSGT Yuen totally outplayed her opponent by 2-0 (9-1, 9-5). To wrap up the match, SSP Barnes trounced the top player from CSD by 2-0 (9-0, 9-0) to secure the title for the Force by a score line of 3-0 and earn the Team squash title of the Corporate Games.
