Shortly before his departure from the Force this month, Senior Superintendent (Crime Kowloon East) Peter Barnes officiated at the annual SSP Crime KE Football Cup tournament at PSRC, and was pleased to see the team from his Region beat crime officers from Kwun Tong, Sau Mau Ping and Wong Tai Sin to clinch the cup.

The Kowloon East team, managed by Chief Inspector Andrew Boulton and captained by Senior Inspector Fan Wing-hong, edged out Kwun Tong 2-0 in the final.

Mr Barnes started sponsoring the competition four years ago to promote a healthy lifestyle among crime officers, and since then the cup has been hotly contested by the officers.
