To many Wah Yan students and alumni, the grass pitch has been the most important part of their school life on the Waterloo Road Campus since 1952. On this grass field where athletic and football games are the focus of our school life, our students sweat, weep and bleed; and there are memories of joy and pain. Unfortunately, in recent years the physical conditions of the pitch have deteriorated into a largely sandy patch beyond repair. The uneven, barren pitch surface has caused many students’ injury when jogging, running and playing football. Sports development in the School has been hampered by the poor conditions of the pitch.
The School Management Committee has decided, and has received approval from the Jesuit Superior General, to convert the grass pitch into an artificial turf pitch with improved drainage, after considering its considerable advantages over maintaining the field as a natural grass pitch....

"This is Joseph Ng ('80), a tennis player from Wah Yan College, Kowloon. I am extremely pleased to learn that you are doing OK, and I will be passing this piece of great news to the Wahyanites I know.
For your information, a good number of us from the WYK tennis team in the 70s & 80s had founded the Fr. Finneran Memorial Fund helping out the WYK tennis team. We clinched 3rd place this year in the Inter-School Tennis Championship in Division I, but most important of all, we kept up the good training programme and passed what we have learned from Fr. Finneran, Mr. Francis Kong and you and teach the young wahyanites to be a "good man", and men for others."
