30-40 minutes Pontius? You obviously played with rank amateurs. The finals of the 1968 Inter-Service match in Singapore between RAF Changi and HMS Terror began at Changi Engineering Wing at 1500, proceeded to The Europe Bar and concluded at the coffee shop of the Malaysia Hotel at 0600 - a total of 15 hours play excluding the walk down the village and the taxi-ride to Tanglin Circus. RAF Changi won after a stupendous "Suck Back Five" by the Changi team captain, Corporal MicK Jackson of Electrical Engineering Squadron. No Army teams made it into the final stages - they couldn't Hack It obviously and the championship was a purely RN/RAF grudge match. Tiger Breweries allegedly made an extra S$150,000 during that week, just from the spectators.
Hacking has nothing to do with Hackney cabs, hacking jackets or early military amputations. Hacking is not only what Uckers players do, but is derived from the method of procuring the pieces from military issue broom handles.
