Antonio Carabillo plays in Singapore

Hong Kong top player Antonio Carabillo attended the FISTF Challenger & Satellite last week-end in Singapore. Antonio didn't manage to win but he had a great time. Along with the other players, the possibility to host a tournament in Hong Kong and/or Malaysia in the future was discussed. This would be very positive for the future of the game in Asia. The tournaments winners were Robert Smith (Australia) for the Challenger and Yusni Den Mulia (Singapore Lions SC) for the Satellite.

Christopher Soh in visit in HK

Christopher Soh, one of the best players of the Singapore Lions club, paid a visit to Antonio Carabillo on October 1. The 2 mates played 5 games together and Antonio won 4 of them (1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 3-1, 3-1), proving he's still in good shape despite the lack of training. A much appreciated day for both players!
