Said Syntech director Hong: "I'm very happy we won again this year. I knew we had a good chance even though PSA were close to us initially, but we all bowled well today." Added Syntech production worker Oon, 54, the only female bowler in the team: "I was a little nervous because of the competition, but we just played our own game as we are all experienced bowlers. "This is my first time playing in the Canon Super Series so winning here is quite special and I'll definitely come back next year if my boss wants me to play."

"Ok, let's do this!"
Amidst the Formula 1 buzz, the teams were ready and raring to go. Needless to say the theme was such and some teams came dressed in F1-inspired attire which saw the team from the Supreme Court of Singapore taking home the Best Dressed prize. The Best Supported Team award went to Syntech. Sideline entertainment included authentic goodies like Dragon Beard Candy and Popcorn, and a mini-F1 racetrack.
