Bernard Sin (RYD #4) lead all Ryders by nine points and seven rebounds.

H.F.C. Remain Unbeaten in Five Games

The H.F.C. remains unbeaten despite scoring only 34 points. Tabo is one point shy of reaching the 700-point mark in the League after scoring a game-high 11 points to go along with six boards and three assists. Mathew Ng (XPX #34) had a double-double with 12 boards and ten points for The Expendables X, one of the two new team this year, which has yet to record a first victory.

Nikko Kwok became only the 4th player to attempt 15 free throws in a single game, and broke a record that nobody may wish to. Nikko missed 13 free throws on Sunday, surpassing Ivan Shiu’s 2-for-11 back in the days when he played for Photons in 2007.

Tigers and The Expendables X both are 0-4 after respective losses to join Ryders as the only three win-less team.

Two more game days in April on 21 and 28, and the first-round play-offs will begin on May 12, time and venue to be announced.
