Tennis team wins senior championship

The 808 tennis team won all four of its round-robin matches to claim the senior 4.5 championship at the Mylan WTT Rec League national tournament earlier this month in Indian Wells, Calif.

The team, captained by Pom Luxton, included Jennifer Kelley, Margie Katras, Mereck Pang and William Liston of Honolulu, as well as Randal Kasamoto from Nevada and California’s Kevin Ching.

In the open division, Honolulu’s UCannotBeSerious (2-2) placed fourth in the 4.0 level and Nutty Nuts (1-3) were sixth. Makule Hui (2-2) finished fifth in the 4.0 senior division.

Harlequins fall to New Zealand side

Thierry Daupin scored nine points on a penalty and three conversions but it was not enough as the Hawaii Harlequins Football Club lost its rugby test match to the Aukland College Rifles from New Zealand 45-24 Monday at Kapiolani Park.

Scoring on second-half tries for the Harlequins were Lomani Tongotongo, Dave Tukufuka and Sani Taylor.

The College Rifles’ Hawaii Tour finale will be Nov. 23 against the Hawaii All-Stars at Kapiolani Park starting at 4 p.m. The Rifles, a premier club rugby team, features Orene Ali‘i, the IRB World 7s player of the year in 2005.
