Hong Kong led by a point after a tight opening day of foursomes and fourballs but the home side could not contain Guangdong in the singles. The visitors from mainland China won eight of the 12 singles matches to claim the Staunton Cup for the third year running with a final score of 14-10.

Hugh Staunton, a three-time President of the Hong Kong Golf Association, after whom the cup is named, commented: "The Guangdong team were too strong in the singles but, importantly, everyone benefited from the experience of match-play and both sides played in a great spirit."
